Has enough been done to tackle incitement to genocide?

Quite...I recognise your username as well as others not because I'm monitoring you or keeping tabs on anyone but because you're a regular poster and I read these boards a lot and comment occasionally.

I don't understand why the suggestion of antisemitic or terrorist-supporting posts being flagged to the appropriate bodies would make a person uneasy if they don't think it applies to them? What do you find threatening about tackling online antisemitism and radicalisation?

@Dulra No idea at all why Mumsnet users from minority religious or ethnic groups might feel the need to name change? If you felt some users made you - and possibly the rest of your community on here - feel unsafe, I guarantee you would name change.

And this idea that you're being monitored is ridiculous to the point of laughable. If someone makes themself a prolific poster on these threads, often repeating the same schtick time and again, do you honestly think that username isn't going to register? Are we not allowed to look at usernames now?

I've reported plenty pro-terrorist posts, thankfully HQ does tend to delete those, but don't pretend for one minute they don't exist and you haven't seen them.

Well exactly. Don't suppprt terrorism, its highly unlikely you'll be looked into by the very over-stretched security services.

What does changing a username achieve? It's an anonymous form your username is linked to your account no matter what username you use. I am not sure why changing your username would address feeling unsafe on an anonymous forum? The only reason I can see is that people want to deceive their fellow posters. I don't recognize your username so what have you posted under before? And why would me knowing that make you feel unsafe? If I send you a pm it will still go to your account no matter what username you use

Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it isnt real or legit fgs.

Why do you feel this is addressed to you?

And yet you berated a poster for how they felt, oh the irony...

Well my feeling is that changing your username is just to deceive other posters and no I don't understand how it would make any difference to how safe a poster felt when your username is still linked to your account

Ummm, because you suggested I was keeping tabs on posters and went on to have a conversation with someone else about how this was unsettling & that some people were being monitored & reported?!?!? I think Im out now, we seem to got into the crying in the playground stage of this thread. Have a nice day.

It's got absolutely nothing to do with anonymity on a public forum. But if you're someone who uses Jewish, Muslim or Black Mumsnetters, you'll know exactly why name changing adds a layer of protection. And that's all I have to say on that, so if you want to accuse people who feel unsafe of using "deceit" then fill your boots but don't tag me in.

Firstly, I just quoted facts. Some posters, at the start of this slaughter, did threatened to report others who dared to speak out against the actions of the Israeli government. I don't have time to go through thousands of posts to back up what I stated. Feel free to do so though.
went on to have a conversation with someone else about how this was unsettling
It is a discussion thread, as you have yourself pointed out in a previous post, therefore perfectly normal.
Crying in the playground?
Ok. if you say so.

Your question was why did I think it was related to me, not did I know about people being reported (hardly surprising given some of the comments on here) or did I think it was ok for people to discuss comments on a discussion board (of course I do).I really think you should let this go now.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Well I would say that it leaves those who don't name change far more vulnerable when there are posters who know a lot about them but they don't know anything about the constant name changers. I am entitled to query the motives of these posters and I also think they can hide behind their name change if they have posted controversial posts in the past which they have had deleted. You can suggest it's to do with protection and feeling safe but I think it leaves those posters that don't name change far more vulnerable

But if you're someone who uses Jewish, Muslim or Black Mumsnetters, you'll know exactly why name changing adds a layer of protection
So name change there but that's not what people are doing they are name changing on threads constantly so one day they're under one username and the next under a different one it adds a layer of deception.

And this idea that you're being monitored is ridiculous to the point of laughable.
We are monitored constantly in our every day life. To deny this is "ridiculous to the point of laughable", to quote you.
In addition, does repeating the same schtick applies to every poster or just the ones who happen to disagree with the actions of the IDF?

.I really think you should let this go now.

Why? Because your hypocrisy has been exposed? On on hand you have argued about the importance of being able to name change and on the other criticised a poster for feeling unsettled for the very reason you suggested posters should name change!

No need for the patronising post I'll do what I want with my day thanks don't need you to advise me, bizarre comment.
Besides you've no idea whether the sun is shining where I am and FWIW it's not

Honestly, it's such an odd reaction to feel personally victimised by any conversation about the problems of online antisemitism and pro-terrorism and complain when people want to do something about it. Baffling.

Some posters seem to be missing the point that has been made by @Scirocco and myself.
There were posters who, at the time (I am talking months ago) accused many of us of being Hamas supporters and calling us antisemitic for daring to criticise the actions of the Israeli government and the rhetoric they used towards the Palestinians. That was the point being made.
If I had been, I indeed would expect (and rightly so) to be reported to the appropriate organisations.
What I don't like is to be accused of something I am not and to be told to shut up or else. I think this is reasonable.

No-one has told anyone to shut up or else. Utterly ridiculous and overdramatic.

It’s interesting how the views on what it is acceptable to criticise have changed on this forum. I think this reflects what is also being reported on main stream media - with eg CNN and Guardian reporting regularly on concerns on the modus operandi of the IDF.

@Polka83

The difference is that Israel has long ago lost any moral standing, and no one bar their most ardent supporters is buying their bullshit anymore.
