I have no problem with the thread, or with calling out religious discrimination.

I just felt the "people like you" post was a bit unnecessary as it's this kind of thing that causes polite debate to turn hostile.

I'm still at the point where I'm defending the very idea of the thread, instead of getting into it. 

Another example of someone here that has dome the same thing is SvennoJ.  And nobody has said that he's wrong in his 1000 page Israel thread. But if people are going to come in here and say that I'm wrong even if it's in a nice way then I'm going to show how their viewpoint is harmful. 

Completely fair. They knew not to come in here if they disagreed or had a problem but for certain kinds of people I guess that means you should come in and find a problem with the thread creator by telling him how hurtful he's being. Fair both ways in this area of competing opinions. 

You can disagree with and rebuff people's opinions, but "people like you are why the Nazis killed millions" just isn't constructive or reasonable and will only cause discourse to break down into toxicity.

It also won't help your cause; if you want to further your ideology, you need to get people on your side, not push them away.
