I have never thought that being right about something automatically means others will be convinced. This is an odd way to reply and does not actually address anything I said. Please consider telling me what you found unconvincing instead.
What in my reply seemed irrational to you? If it was all of it, pick two salient points and I will gladly explain them.
My comment on Lemmy doesn't kill anyone. You seem to be very confused.
But in terms of the death in Palestine, as I mentioned before, you employed false and misleading rhetoric that serves the oppressor. You are just one person who has fallen for and repeated that propaganda, which makes you just like most people in Western and Middle Eastern countries, who tacitly provide consent for genocide. But this is mostly a passive role, a failure to recognize and oppose injustice created by empire-backed settler colonialism.
You are not as intelligent as you tell yourself you are
Enjoy your comfort, bought with the blood of others who you pretend to care about
Some deep reflection on your part would go a long way toward increasing both your happiness and your ability to actually have a beneficial effect on the world
I mean that, although you will probably insist (I've noticed that about you and the people you associate yourself with), that the most important thing is that you FEEL like you are "on the right side of history". Such a comforting phrase for those who refuse to actually do anything other than perform
I am done here
I was going to reply point by point, but there isn't really anything there and it began to get repetitive. At this point you are just blindly insulting me and trying to villify me by lying, presumably a defensive posturing because you can't (and never have) actually addressed anything I have said. So you are now making things up like knowing my associations and whether I do anything to advance the causes I believe in. Just vague and made-up nonsense. If you believe lying is wrong, please do some self-criticism on this behavior. I certainly didn't force you to embarrass yourself like this, this is all your own choices. Even just not replying would have been a better way to handle my fairly gentle criticisms. Criticisms complete with long explanations to give you chances to find common ground. Notice that despite your words trying to equate the genocidal occupiers and the resisting occupied, I did not simply start insulting you or making things up out of nothing. See, it is possible.
I hope you can find ways to be more honest with yourself and others on this topic, because it is really not about you.
Zionist settler-colonialism is a European/Western project that only goes as far back as the late 19^th^ to early 20^th^ century, and didn’t come into much significance until after WWII.
