I alerted this morning on a thread, and received a ruling that it had already been alerted, and the
jury ruled 1 to 6 to keep it.. The reason I alerted was because the link used in the OP was from an extreme anti-Jewish hate site. The details of my alert are outlined below. I was under the impression that using links from hate sites to report stories was a TOS violation. Whether that assumption is valid or not, using hate sites to report a story is unbecoming of a site that calls itself a Democratic website.
The comments supplied in my alert below provide an example of the filth the spews from that site, and was used as a news source.
Very disappointed that the OP and the jury thought it appropriate to use a Jewish hate site to report a news story. Why wasn't a more appropriate link used, instead of an anti-Jewish website is beyond me.
On Sun May 8, 2016, 12:28 AM you sent an alert on the following post:
Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton will Hold Fundraiser in Israel on May 17

REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
YOUR COMMENTS
This alert concerns the link used in the OP, not that assertion that Clinton is going to Israel. The link the OP is using belongs to a virulent antisemitic website, and the Southern Poverty Law Conference lists it as a hate group:

Here is an excerpt from an article that serves as a typical example of the anti-Jewish nature of the site:
"Zionist Jews have effectively caused the societal and economic collapse of the U.S. This is a process that has been under way for several decades. Throughout this long period of deceit and subversion, they have created covers, distractions and deflections. They have transformed politicians into puppets. They have enslaved consumers using their banks. They have defrauded the entire population using their control over Wall Street. They have used their control over media, politicians and policy makers in order to shield any criticism of their crimes and their powerful crime syndicate."

The OP should have used a different source instead of a virulent anti-Jewish website, and for that reason the post is inappropriate for DU
JURY RESULTS
Someone else already alerted on this post before you alerted on it, and only the first alert was sent to a Jury. A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of the post on Sat May 7, 2016, 12:45 PM, and voted 1-6 to keep IT. Please note that even though your alert was not sent to a Jury, it has been forwarded to the Administrators who review all alerts.
= new reply since forum marked as read
have checked it out here from links on my Facebook page and have told me they would never be members. No true Democrat wants to come to a supposedly Democratic site to be S%$T on by non-Dems ad trumphumpers. I joined when it was a discussion forum. Now its the extended spring break site for the 'other forum'!
Very sad.
