In reply to the discussion: The Zionist Megaphone [View all]mwrguy
(3,245 posts)64. I sure as hell did. My post and the alert pasted below.
The alerter reported me for my use of the term, then immediately quoted something completely different that happened to have the same word in it. It was an effective strawman, as I was hidden on a 4-3 vote.
My post: "zionists have a lot of pull"
The complaint:
This post blames "Zionists" (whoever they are) for causing a Palestinian journalist to be banned from MSNBC. Want an idea of how bigoted this post is? Notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, for instance, has made many references to Jewish control of institutions, for instance "... stop being guided by the controlled media that is owned by Zionist forces that want to make you pawns in the struggle of Israel and Zionism. http://archive.adl.org/special_reports/farrakhan_own_words2/on_jewish_con.html
This latest Israel/Palestine dispute in the headlines sure is bringing out the anti-Semites on DU.

but if Israel is safe, why do they have to kill all the Palastinian women, children and old people?

I'm sorry but it was your contention that it wasn't hidden for the word Zionist

No, but comparisons to past evils are justified when current evils are committed
