There is a ton of Star of David imagery on the site.

It's isn't about the Star of David. It's about poor algorithms that can't weed out stylized versions honoring the Star of David from stylized versions hating on.
One reason might be that the Crips and the Gangster Disciples use the six pointed star similar or identical to the Star of David.

I'm a big fan of the Bloods. They use a five pointed star. Go Bloods beat Crips.

Thanks for being a critical thinker.

Things sure did get quiet around here.

Have you read "When the Nazis Came to Skokie", subtitle "Freedom for Speech We Hate"? You might learn a lot about why he defended the right to FREE speech.

This is a perfect example of the thought process of so many here on C-D POC. They can't even fathom the idea of monitoring the source.

The Jerusalem Post failed the journalistic integrity test. Will they admit it?

Journalists make mistakes. Good journalists admit it.

Yeah, right.

I would say that I hope that take this fake new thread down. But it'll be more fun if they leave it up.

First of all, I am more aware, and more thoughtful, than you give me credit for. (Do you honestly think I do not know of 1st amendment rights and agree that scumbag Nazis still deserve a defense?) In fact, I recall discussing this very case, WHEN IT HAPPENED in 1978, as a young lady, with my father (may he RIP), asking how could a Jewish lawyer possibly defend a bunch of scumbag Nazis who, if they had their wishes granted, would never have been born because his grandparents would have been tossed in the gas chamber.

The answer is way too complex to discuss here, but suffice it to say that you have hit on a key difference between liberal Jews, and Jewish conservatives. The place for the discussion is in Great Debates, and if you are interested, I could start that within the next day or two. It is a much more nuanced issue than you realize. Let me know if you are up to an intellectual debate, without insulting the conservative point of view.

No, they'll probably just double down on their claims and insist that anything twitter posted is fake.
