More lies from the scumbag anti-Semite racist Dennis Marks (AKA
dmarks) published on the blog of Willis Hart. Why? Because the a-hole knows he can get away with his outrageous dissembling on this blog. Fact is, most of the regulars on "Contra O'Reilly" snarf up Dennis' crap with great enthusiasm.
Dennis Marks: Dude has started to email me private love letters too. I read the first one (antisemitic crap in which he defended someone who wanted to get all the Jews out of Israel). ... I set the email spam filter to move it down the sewer. Easy to do in email clients. (6/23/2014 AT 4:31am).

First of all, let me say that me referring to Dennis as a anti-Semite and a racist is NOT ad hominem. These assertions are both factual, and I've produced the evidence to back them up (
here and
here). Secondly, let me say that Dennis lies. I've never emailed him a single "love letter". Not one, let alone one that contained "antisemitic crap". That is Dennis' purview.
As usual, however, there is a small kernel of truth at the center of Dennis' novella of confabulation. I did send Dennis an email. It was in regards to a ANOTHER comment he
shat out on the blog of Willis Hart. Another comment in which he lied about yours truly.
Dennis Marks: Yeah, to be a "moderate" to WD you would have to be someone like "frances" Boyle, and advocate wiping out the Israelis. (6/14/2014 AT 7:25pm).

Frances Boyle (or Francis Boyle, which is how the man actually
spells his name) is a Irish-American man that Dennis has accused of being anti-Semitic, along with the Jewish-American
Norman Finkelstein. For the following reason...
Dennis Marks: Forget his genocidal hatred of Jewish Israelis. This man is one of those Holocaust-deniers. The kind of person WD defends, probably with the usual "calling people who dare criticize Israelis antisemitic" canard..... Yeah, these people are antisemitic because they criticize Israelis for not hurrying up and being ashes scraped out of industrial ovens (12/8/2012 AT 7:25pm). screengrab.

Neither Mr. Boyle nor Mr. Finkelstein are Holocaust deniers. In fact,
the parents of Mr. Finkelstein (to whom Dennis specifically directed this vile comment) are Holocaust survivors! Finkelstein's mother "grew up in Warsaw, Poland, survived the Warsaw Ghetto, the Majdanek concentration camp, and two slave labor camps" and his father "was a survivor of both the Warsaw Ghetto and the Auschwitz concentration camp".
Now, it is true both Boyle and Finkelstein are strong critics of Israel. And Boyle (unlike Finkelstein) holds anti-Zionist views. However, while someone who has anti-Zionist views might be anti-Semitic as well,
I do not believe that this is ALWAYS the case. I certainly do not believe applying the "anti-Semitic" label to a Jewish person simply because they are critical of Israel is reasonable.
But Dennis goes EVEN FURTHER than "simply" slapping on the anti-Semitic label (to a Jewish man) just because he's critical of Israel. He Obviously subscribes to the nonsense known as "
new antisemitism", which equates ANY criticism of Israel as "anti-Semitism".
However, I agree with the critics who "argue that it conflates anti-Zionism with antisemitism, defines legitimate criticism of Israel too narrowly and demonization too broadly, trivializes the meaning of anti-Semitism, and exploits anti-Semitism in order to silence debate".
This describes EXACTLY what Dennis is doing... conflating, attempting to shut down legitimate criticism of Israel and trivializing the meaning of the meaning of anti-Semitism. And on top of that Dennis adds a VILE lie about Boyle and Finkelstein wishing their fellow Jews to be murdered in a new Holocaust. Frankly, that is the comment that convinced me that Dennis' views cross the line into anti-Semitism. There is simply NO excusing such a despicable fabrication, in my strong opinion.
And it was
Dennis' defense of Nixon's Southern Strategy, btw, that convinced me beyond a doubt that the slimeball is a racist.
For the record, the email I sent to Dennis was to dispute his assertion that I referred to Francis Boyle as "Frances". This is an old lie that has become quite tiring. Fact is, it is Dennis who misspelled "Francis" and "Frances". And I also nailed him on getting Francis Boyle's gender wrong! (6 "shes" and 5 "hers" to be exact... see
swtd-233 for more information).
So, given that Dennis did not even know Boyle's gender, I did NOT take his criticisms seriously. Also not to be taken seriously is Dennis' claim that I defended Boyle's or Finkelstein's anti-Zionist views. Fact is, I repeatedly said I did NOT agree with them or Finkelstein's views on "Holocaust exploitation". Both go quite a bit too far for me.
I've repeatedly related to Dennis
my disagrement, but he ignores me and lies about me "defending" anti-Semitism anyway.
I did say that the Jewish Boyle never advocated "wiping out" Israeli Jews, which he has not. But pointing out factual information is "anti-Semitism" in the scumbag Dennis' deluded imagination and the lies from this sack of shit never stop.
Finally, I only sent Dennis ONE email. Dennis says he "read the first one", implying there were others that followed, but there was not. I only sent one. Why? Because I could not respond on the blog of Willis Hart due to his banishment of me. So I shot him an email to let him know I'd seen his lie.
I didn't send any others, nor will I, given that the
fecally obsessed Dennis "set the email spam filter to move it down the sewer".
Update 10/24/2014: Dennis read this post and decided to delete his anti-Semitic comment I quote above. If you click the first link you will see a message that says "This comment has been removed by the author". Click the second link for a screenshot of the comment that I saved before the deletion. btw, I did not use photoshop to create a fake comment, even though Dennis has previously accused me of "fabricating" comments.
Not that I think Dennis would deny making this comment, as, in his view, he's "calling out anti-Semitism" by making this vile accusation against a Jewish man. The reason for the deletion was not that Dennis realized it was anti-Semitic and got embarrassed when I linked to it, but because he finds deleting comments when I link to them "
amusing".
