12. "Many people say" and deflection is all you got?

I asked you to give examples of the "many" on the left you are talking about and you respond with claims of twitter and Facebook posts? Sheesh. Your claim implies that dozens of official and DU posters are doing this, which you provide ZERO proof of. Not one. And in another post you demand a poster who disagrees to post links to back up their statements. Can you at least be honest enough to admit the hypocrisy?

Again, it isn't up to me to prove you wrong, it's up to you to provide proof of your claims and you can't do it. So we get deflection since you can't back up your claim and a trumpian "many people say" on Facebook and twitter as if that's proof. My position is clear: some posters on here are regularly making baseless claims of antisemitism with the full intent of suppressing any criticism of Israel.

So what's your position? That it's ok to smear people who disagree with you and others on Israel? Because it happens here everyday and when asked to back it up, the same routine is followed: deflections filled with "what-aboutism", many people say, and more personal attacks. I guess the latter is coming next.
