In reply to the discussion: Never say Isreal is doing this to Gaza: [View all]Violet_Crumble
(36,306 posts)The 'regular' criticism of Netanyahu and the Israeli government must be done in special invisible font. I have, however, seen them insisting that there are DUers who support Hamas and when told by another DUer that they hadn't seen those posts, was told:
'It's not necessary to prove it. There are thousands of posts on DU every day - nobody could possibly see them all. When posters say 'I never saw a post like that so it doesn't exist!' they're being ridiculous.
There are plenty of pro-Hamas things said on DU and elsewhere. We all know it.'
I won't link to that post, so as to not potentially violate the TOS, but I will say that I recc'd your post further upthread after a 'challenge' was issued to you and anyone reccing yr post. I've seen outright support of the invasion of Gaza, more than one DUer say that the Palestinians brought it on themselves and they have little to no sympathy for them, been at the receiving end of accusations of antisemitism because I support the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. Apart from the piss weak search engine that DU has, I have no need or desire to 'prove' what I've seen and experienced to someone who's likely to argue that it's not what was said at all. Everyone has different perceptions of what they read, based on their biases.
