People who say of Nazis “the way you deal with bad ideas is by defeating them in the marketplace of ideas” are offering assumptions that a) Nazi ideas have not already been defeated on the merits, and are still valid and worthy to consider; b) Nazis will promote their ideas in bloodless debate.

@datenritter Care to elaborate? Please link me to one comment were I was "enabling Hamas propaganda". You have already accused me a couple of times of being antisemitic or falling for Hamas propaganda, but never provided a concrete example.
