I don't know what sites you use, but they seem pretty dodgy. (1) While I agree that Israel's policies toward the Palestinians are bad and oppressive, they are not 'genocide' unless you regard all war as genocide. The Palestinian population is increasing rather than the reverse. (2) And the 'truther' theories about 9-11 *deserve* to be marginalized. If by 'Official Conspiracy Theory' you mean the implication that Saddam had something to do with it and that the Bushie 'war on terror' is justified, then you're right to condemn it, but hardly anyone on DU holds it. If you mean anything that is against the view that it was an 'inside job', then I think you are quite wrong. (3) Who on earth pays 'shills' to unrec threads on DU? Sounds like a cushy job if one can get it!!!
