To be fair, I laughed out loud when I read this. Thank you.

Yeah I think you're right. Can't be doing with this to be honest. I don't mind those that argue in good faith and there's a lot of good people here, but there's also too many bullies that just pile in in their wake, and some of them are getting full mask off these days.

I can take constructive criticism from a lot of posters here. Either you're not reading the posts, not understanding them or choosing to pigeonhole posters into some stupid pro/anti teams.

Fair enough. And I don't think many people's opinions are getting changed in discussions like this to be fair! It's good to vent sometimes. And of course Israel deserves a lot of criticism and anger. I just think it's too extreme and bordering on hate and the consequences of that lack of...

Ah OK. A few things. 1) So you want Israel held to higher standards. I'm not getting that vibe from the protests. Hundreds of thousands of people gutted that Israel didn't live up to their lofty expectations? Maybe some. Some just want the killing to stop. Some hate Israel and want it...

Genuinely don't see your point here, sorry.

OK I actually see your point here and how it's perceived. I guess it's hard for me to see the barrage of one-sided Israel hate here. For me this is more nuanced and more complicated. So in order to artificially achieve balance I pop in reminders of context and it's not a good v evil black and...

They make perfect sense my friend. Because that is essentially my position. I really hate the way Israel is going about things, but I also push back on the idea that this is a unique never seen before evil, that Israel is the only actor to blame in this whole mess, and I get upset about language...

Fair play to the UN in this case. But this provided a bit of grim humour today.

What do I 'gain' from my posts? What a weird point. I'm just doing what you're doing. Talking about a difficult situation. Obviously from a slightly different perspective. Sorry if my view upsets you or bores you. I know the majority of posters here probably disagree with me, goodness knows I...

This has got a bit out of hand. A reminder. You said And I replied OK I was being a bit glib, but I don't think my point was incredibly controversial.

Thats fine, but my original comment stands. If you think Israel is run by 'ethnofascist' genocidal thugs, then you'll agree so are Hamas. Only yesterday its leader reiterated their intention to wipe out Israel.

Just for the record, so were Hamas 3 weeks ago, and intending to continue doing so. Again, as per conventional definitions.

Really??? Just checking to see if China is there? Yes. Iran? Looks like it. Pakistan is forcibly removing 1.7m refugees this week. Nope, they're still there. Saudi Arabia's brutal repression of Yemen causing more deaths than Israel - surely they'll be kicked out...? Oh no, the fecking world cup...

Genuinely didn't know which side you were talking about there.
