As I said in my earlier post, you have no knowledge of Palestinian society, and when I offered you a list of books to read on it, you showed a distinct lack of interest, yet continue to go on as though yr some expert on Palestinian society. The pictures you paint of Palestinian society is always one of ugliness and evil. It's as though there's some one-dimensional cartoon style lens that Palestinians are viewed through, and anything that's positive is filtered out. Anyone who claims that Palestinian society is antisemitic, comparable to Nazis, evil, etc, is engaging in bigotry whether they like it or not. I've seen people make similar ugly broadbrush generalisations about Israeli society, and like you've done, they'll sit there and defend what they say. Whether it's aimed at Israelis or Palestinians, it's wrong....
Guess what? The great thing about DU3 is I get to say what I want to say, and what I want to say is that I find it incredibly disturbing that you not only posted that article which contained bigoted comments, but then tried to claim that you only care about the bits that aren't bigoted. Does that mean we can all run off and find stuff by antisemites and start posting it and go 'oh, I don't agree with everything they say, but look at the second line in the third paragraph. It's awesome!' I think not....
