    okay, was not the point of our discussion and I did not say otherwise but thanks for sharing it I guess…

    I tend to disagree on the collective punishment point, but that’s fine everybody can have his or her opinion :)

      consistently moving the goalposts is one of the core hallmarks of a bad faith argument. you handled it very well!

      Yeah Israel starving people is totally not like the goddamn holocaust. /s

      “Opinions”, how convenient it is to have them while people just die on the hands of Israel.

        Okay that went very fast into holocaust relativism… no thank you, I don’t want to be part of this discussion anymore, let’s end it here on a polite note.

        And just to make it clear, as a german I learned, “the Holocaust was a genocide during World War II in which Nazi Germany, aided by its collaborators, systematically murdered approximately 6 million European Jews” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust) therefor I find it highly inappropriate to use this very term for the situation in the middle east or as a comparison to it.

        being shitty and inflammatory is really gonna convince people you’re on the side that cares
