(617 posts)"I'm saying it's hate speech to advocate that Israel should have never existed...
...because it's just too much trouble and that Jews and Israelis worldwide should regret the creation of the State of Israel for causing such trouble. I fail to see the substantiative difference between such an argument and advocacy for the destruction of the State of Israel, which is expressly defined in the Terms of Service as bigoted hate speech."
You and I are not going to get along. Like Skeletor and He-Man. Like Sark and Flynn. Like Spongebob and Squidworth.
I never said that Israel should never have existed. Israel existed 2000 years ago and it was conquered by the Romans. "Should" has nothing to do with it. You have a super bad habit of putting words into people's mouths.
It did exist, it was conquered, it didn't exist again until 1948. Now it exists. I'm saying that the UN, the US, shouldn't have had a hand or a role in it. If they revisited their homeland, conquered it, and won, great. We shouldn't have said it was "ok."
Now, here's a TOS lesson for you:
"It is the responsibility of all DU members to participate in a manner that promotes a positive atmosphere and encourages good discussions among a diverse community of people holding a broad range of center-to-left viewpoints." Members who demonstrate a pattern of disruptive behavior over time and end up getting too many of their posts hidden by the jury (measured by raw number or percentage) may be found to be in violation of our Terms of Service. If you seem to be ruining this website for a large proportion of our visitors, if we think the community as a whole would be better off without you here, if you are constantly wasting the DU Administrators' time, if you seem to oppose the mission of DU, or if the DU Administrators just don't like you, we will revoke your posting privileges. Remember: DU is supposed to be fun don't make it suck.
