(50,254 posts)I honestly just assumed she'd be tombstoned almost instantly. Fine, I should have said something...but this does not equate to being silent about Hitler and you damn well know it. And you know I oppose everything she stood for in her posts here. My past posting history should have shown to you that I'm an absolute opponent of the things she stood for here.
Also, if this came to a head last week, I had arthroscopic knee surgery and was under the influence of strong painkillers for a good part of the time, so my mental alertness level wasn't at its highest. I'm truly sorry for not interceding earlier, but while I do sincerely apologize for that, it's still not fair to equate my lack of response in this instance to aquiescence in her agenda...it was an oversight. Please accept that that's all it was. On every OTHER occasion when I've seen antisemitism in the I/P group, I DID speak out. And I will continue to do so.
If she's speaking to mass rallies under whatever her real name is(assuming she actually exists) I will be a part of organized opposition to her in that situation(as will most people who have taken critical stances about the actions of the Israeli government, because the vast majority of those people are humanist internationalist progressives who stand in solidarity with all groups under attack from hatred). Her emergence her happened quickly and she was gone quickly.
There really isn't anything I'm hiding here. And so now you can stop the interrogation. I have come clean on all points.
