even if i’m not going to waste my time with them, i’d like to know why they’re wrong and how they can be rebutted.

I mean in some cases I am not even sure what to say... it's hard to prove a negative? Or disprove a negative? Whatever the case..? If they say "Bisan is a fraud" how am I supposed to disprove that?

If they say unwra is Hamas... how am I supposed to disprove that?

You really can't... point to people that aren't Hamas? Oh they'll point to the one person that had distant ties or was involved. They'll point to a time Bisan said something inaccurate.

One thing I'll say to the person who wanted to leave "people love dead Jews".... no one loves dead Jews more than that sub.

You win by not engaging. They sound ridiculous to someone who knows even a shred of detail. Engage with people who want to learn so they'll be immune to the silliness
