Ahed Tamimi: The Mandela of Palestine?

6. The difference there is that there has never been any implication

that the positions anyone on DU takes about the actions of the government of a country where the majority population happened to be black were a reflection of whether posters here want black people to stay alive.

Nobody here would claim, for example, that criticisms of the governments of Haiti or Zimbabwe equates to support for white supremacism or indifference to the physical safety of the black community.

On the other hand, it's commonly implied that people who question what the Israeli government does to Palestinians either don't give a damn about the physical safety of people who are Jewish or secretly wish those people harm.

Everyone on DU is against antisemitism and against the agenda of the alt-right.

(on edit)i've changed the word to "inappropriate", rather than "demagogic".
