Reply #40: Then I really have to wonder why no-one seems to say anything here when it's an antisemite... [View All]

There was a very recent thread where the accusation I mentioned was made, and even though there were lots of people posting around the post where the claim was made, not one person stopped in to make sure that the record was set straight in a way that of course wouldn't be seen as defending a bigot. So I really have to wonder why people seem to only pop up and say anything when it's cases like this and it's an anti-Muslim/Arab bigot, not an antisemite...

on edit: While I've seen overexaggerations happen unchallenged in this forum quite a bit in the past when it comes to accusations about antisemitic writers, I was specifically thinking of a very recent instance where someone brought up Gilad Atzmon and accused him of wanting to see all Jews dead. I just went back to find the post and couldn't locate it and I suspect it was one of quite a few of that DUers posts that have been deleted (not because of what she said about Atzmon of course). Anyway, from now on, I'm going to be all over the overexaggerations about Hamas that get posted, coz that's another thing that never gets challenged and now I realise that I won't look a bit strange defending bigots, I'm sure no-one's going to question why I've started doing it ;)
