“The Empire Did Nothing Wrong”

I never assumed your words to mean anything. I specifically asked what you intended to mean because they were unclear.

Israel is abhorrent.

Again, I disagree with your choice of words.

I believe that the current policies and actions of Netanyahu, the Likud party and their allies are abhorrent.

But that doesn't make the country itself abhorrent.

Did I specify in its current state?

[u/The100thIdiot → u/MumenRiderZak]

No. You didn't specify anything. And that is the problem I am trying to highlight.

Generalised statements are not helpful.

Otherwise you could equally state that "Palestinians are abhorrent' because of the actions of Hamas.

[u/MumenRiderZak → u/The100thIdiot]

I did in my first response.

And you could easily say Hamas is abhorrent which they are. But you decided to use Palestinians as your argument instead even trough you know I specifically didn't talk about Israelis or Jews. You argue in bad faith

[u/The100thIdiot → u/MumenRiderZak]

I decided to use "Palestinians" precisely to highlight how problematic it is to use "Israel".

I argue in good faith.

[u/MumenRiderZak → u/The100thIdiot]

How so?

[u/The100thIdiot → u/MumenRiderZak]

How so, what?

[u/MumenRiderZak → u/The100thIdiot]

How does it highlight that?

[u/The100thIdiot → u/MumenRiderZak]

Are you serious?

You are quite happy to defend a group of people because they aren't responsible for the actions of a subset of that group, but at the exact same time, malign another group of people because of the actions of a subset of that group.

Do you not see how that is intellectually dishonest?

[u/MumenRiderZak → u/The100thIdiot]

Wtf are you talking about I'm against the actions of the state of Israel. I have nothing against any Israeli that doesn't support the actions of their government.

You clearly are not reading anything I write.

Waste of time
