Your argument is that a country is at least as dangerous as a terrorist group but if I said Palestine as a nation is as dangerous as the IDF, you'd be up in arms saying I cant make sweeping generalizations about Palestinians. Think about that.

  1. All those articles leave out the critical details that those protesters are accused of committing crimes. Meanwhile there are a number of German language articles that say that they arent at risk of deportation just because of protesting.

  2. It is anti-semitic to generalize the entire populace of Israel and be against it's existence.

  3. Where did I do that? Hate speech includes anti-Palestinian and anti-Israeli narratives.

  4. I am not defending that. And you accuse me of arguing in bad faith?

  1. Arguing against the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians (which I've yet to hear you take issue with) does not equal arguing the same for Israel. "Never again" was supposed to be for everybody, regardless of their religion, skin colour etc.
  2. Israel's head of state himself has been found guilty of committing crimes. You cannot ask for rule of law against one group and support another lawless group. Thank about that.
  3. Again, don't put words in my mount. As you know well, I did not say that.
  4. Until there is an end to the genocide, acting passively supports the greater aggressor.
  5. I am glad you are not defending that.

  1. I never said that. You however generalize Israel and don't differentiate between the people and the government. You don't argue that way about Palestine, but say Hamas are the baddies. Why don't you leave that double standard and just argue against the Israeli government and the IDF leadership?
  2. No contention. However see point 1.
  3. Change your narrative because you implied.
  4. Don't deflect.
