Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I think it would be disingenuous to claim there aren't a lot of antisemites involved in Pro-Palestinian protests.
Depends how you quantify "a lot". More then none, much less than a majority.
It's an uneven distribution, like the post demonstrates.
Uneven with what?
The challenge with the left is that any attempt to call out that antisemitism or those individuals is seen as an attempt to undermine the entire movement.
I would love to see a free and safe Palestine alongside a free and safe Israel. Some will accuse me of being hateful or at least delusional for wishing for peaceful co-existence.
The problem is (until recently) Zionists used soothing words about a two state solution while building illegal settlements in the West Bank and enforcing a brutal apartheid.
The only solution is one state with equal rights for all. But that is the one solution no one in the West is talking about because it goes against the ethno state's raison d'etre.
If Isreal gets it's way, it'll be 1 state, but we won't like how that sausage gets made.
Yup. The important part of that previous poster's statement is with equal rights for all. Israel wants one-state but not that part, which is basically what they have now.
The real solution is a no-state solution.
It would be disingenuous to claim that antisemitism isn't being weaponised by Zionists and their allies to muzzle free speech.
Both are true, so why do you seem to suggest they are mutually exclusive?
Because only one of those is given currency by Corporate media.
My definition of truth tries to be objective, not subjective to wanting to dismiss something because Corporate media pushes it.
How many articles have you seen from mainstream media suggesting that anti semitism accusations are just cover for silencing Pro Palestinian voices?
Now compare that to the number of articles saying that Palestinians supporters in the West are Hamas supporters, hate marches, anti semites and Iranian backed.
The narrative is hard to miss once you spot it.
