if it is your opinion that the arab response to israel from the start has been genocidal, i agree.
if it is your opinion that israel therefore has totally clean hands and has never conducted itself in ways in which its good faith could even be called into question, then not only do you and i disagree but so do a substantial number of israelis.

The bulwark likes us to keep it clean, so let me put it this way.
I grew up in a very pro-zionist milieu (my parents very nearly emigrated to Israel when they married in 1950), and I am deeply familiar with the rhetorical practices of people who do think Israel's hands are completely clean. Your comments are certainly within that radius.
Apparently you are not interested in dialogue nor in adhering to the bulwark's comment style, so forgive me if I say that you must have a reading comprehension problem and a projection problem so I see no point in continuing.

So I asked, which is why I used the word "if."
So you created a narrative out of thin air about what you wanted me to say so you could claim some moral high ground?
Good to know.

What conversation is there to be had? I was accused (by you too?) of being тАЬpro-genocideтАЭ when I said no such thing.
I agree - nothing to тАЬdiscussтАЭ
