3. Israel is a special case, held to different standards.

In the past 2 months close to 40,000 Iranian protesters and dissidents have been killed, just this week opposition leadership have been rounded up and taken to detention facilities where they are likely going to be tortured. The US is now sending the largest air craft carrier group in the world to the gulf region to support the one that's already there.

There have been a couple OPs posted here about the situation in Iran, but for the most part it hasn't elicited a lot of conversation.

At the end of the day DU tends to reflect the interests of the msm, which has an obsessive focus on Israel because it results in better engagement for the media owners. Antisemitism is lucrative.
