Is being a "Palestinian activist" that?

This argument would be stronger if either of you had sources showing what he has or categorically hasn’t done.

Hard to prove “hasn’t done.”

I’ll leave it to folks saying he has done something to prove it.

> Hard to prove “hasn’t done.”

Even a statement is fine. The point is this argument is vacuous if both sides assume intent.

> I’ll leave it to folks saying he has done something to prove it

Sure. They do that in court filings. It just takes time. (And maybe it’s all bunk!)

Statement what?

I think it is kinda an insidious system where it is expected we would have a statement vs any possible bad thing.

I’m all for innocent until proven guilty. If this guy mailed a check to hamas directly then fine by me, otherwise I say prove it.

Sure. But they have no obligation to provide it to you right now. Anyone concluding confidently before we have court filings is obviously grinding an axe. (And it’s happening on both sides. No group has a monopoly on hyperbole.)

Yes we're posting on HN, I think we all know that...
