I've had this myself when trying to argue a point on a previous Palestine post on HN months ago. They essentially listed off all of the generic antisemetic tropes as fast as they could, trying to tie themself to me while contributing nothing to the discussion.


Just rumors and conspiracy theories.

Where can we see evidence of what you claim?

What do you claim Kahn has done? Do you have evidence? The NY Times regulary publishes news critical of Israel.

Children and parents, siblings, etc. disagree, sometimes extremely, regularly. Children and parents disagreeing is one of the most common stories in humanity. Should Joe resign because of dad's activities?


Not OP but -- there is reporting by The Intercept on a leak of guidance that explicitly contains double standards. [1]

Before the leak there was already data-driven analysis about coverage that, in aggregate, shows imbalance. [2]

> Where can we see evidence of what you claim?

This is not only a reasonable question, but it is a good one, too. Unfortunately, the line beforehand:

> Just rumors and conspiracy theories.

...makes it seem like you've already made up your mind, and makes it difficult to interpret your post as a good-faith attempt on your part to learn something new from someone.


The issue that matters is not me, whoever I am and whatever I think, it's the claims made by the GGP. Which remain worthless until proven otherwise, like all other claims.
