It is difficult to be on DU now, given the anti-Palestinian rhetoric. Enough said. [View all] akbacchus_BC Nov 2023 OP

That's not enough said. No one is anti-Palestine. We are anti terrorist and anti Hamas scumbags. SoFlaBro Nov 2023 #1

Hamas is a result of the atrocities by Israel against the Palestinians. Imagine your new next akbacchus_BC Nov 2023 #2

Terrorist fuckstains like Hamas just want to hate, harass, and eventually kill Jews just for being Jews. SoFlaBro Nov 2023 #3

Is "sweaty" a slur now? SoFlaBro Nov 2023 #58

if you do not think sweaty arabs is a slur then your slur radar is broken Celerity Nov 2023 #75

I said sweaty headband. You said arabs. Sounds like you have a hangup. SoFlaBro Nov 2023 #79

No, it's definitely a you thing. n/t demmiblue Nov 2023 #81

How about "sweaty terrorists?" Mossfern Nov 2023 #113

that is not what they typed Celerity Nov 2023 #124

It was "sweaty headbands" Mossfern Nov 2023 #136

it was a racist construct Celerity Nov 2023 #137
