(25,699 posts)This approach of throwing the most vile, hateful, deceitful invective at people like Violet_Crumble, or whoever, eternally accusing people of hating Jews for not supporting the latest paroxysm of violence against Palestine. insisting that we all love "piles of dead Jews" if we're not supporting Israel "to the hilt" on everything it does... Are the first in line to proclaim themselves the greatest, most burdened victims of all of DU's history, when the tide turns against their bullshit.
I just wish the poster on this thread who referred to Violet as "Violent_C*nt" off-site and cheered for violence against pro-palestinian demonstrators - including celebrating Rachel Corrie's death as "International Pancake Day" - would take the path of PCIntern and fuck off.
There are problems with the discussion on DU, absolutely - I'm with Violet and Cali and many other trying to get people to calm their shit and use some fucking brains. But no, DU is not an "antisemitism hotspot," it is not "just like Stormfront," or any of the other shit these creeps are claiming. And a great many of them are themselves some of the most vile, most thoughtless, racist, hateful, even violent people DU has to offer.
So yeah. There's a bit of fixing-up that can be done. But not under these cretin's say-so or guidance, because I guarantee, set to their standards, DU will become like Stormfront.
