In reply to the discussion: NYT -Netanyahu Warns of 'Intensive' Escalation in Gaza [View all]Violet_Crumble
(36,450 posts)42. I've seen posts removed before that only contain links.
It's the luck of the draw. I wouldn't want to take the risk, myself, plus in my case, I don't bookmark posts like that.
What's far more common in my experience is to avoid making any criticism of the Israeli govt by blaming things like US voters and Hamas.
I've found that making absolutist comments like 'no-one has ever...' is a bit silly and unrealistic. I've seen all sorts of things in my many years in the I/P forum, and it's not just on one 'side' as some would like you to believe.
Don't ask me for any links, coz I'm too lazy to go looking and I'm not bullshitting about any of this

That is sheer sophistry. Posting link to a poster's post calls them out, whether you type their name or not.

More sophistry. You're wilfully conflating innocuous postings of links to another DU post (OP or reply) to the posting

Providing links to others posts without naming the DU'er is not a callout,

I've seen plenty of people post "FAFO" and words to that effect. They are ghouls and I don't engage with them.
