Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have beaten to death a United States citizen in his early 20s, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.

“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.

Don't be deliberately disingenuous. And if you're insist on it, then I'll match you: point to where I said you used the word 'only' in your comment, in my comment.

You comment strongly implied that you thought Maple Engineer thought this was a MAGA-specific phenomenon. There isn't the same strong implication in Maple Engineer's comment.

Not an American, A Palestinian American. The Magazis don't give a shit.

Bold mine. Yes there is.

Where did they say they only thought it was the "Magazis" who don't give a shit? You're like those amerikan liberals who think that criticising genocide joe meant you thought trump was better. You can make a negative comment about one amerikan politician without it being a positive about another. They're practically the same anyway.

Oh look, you've suddenly flipped back to demanding explicit quotes, when previously you accepted implications.

Hypocrite.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You comment strongly implied

Oooooh, so now you're willing to accept implied statements!

What happened to demanding explicit quotes only? Which implicit is exactly the opposite of.

And yes, there is the same strong implication in their comment

I never said that I wasn't "willing to accept implied statements"? Their original comment absolutely did not imply they thought that it was only MAGAheads who were ok with Israel killing USAmericans, on the same level that you implied they thought that. You're like that tweet about "I like waffles" "So you hate pancakes?". They didn't say anything about Biden either way...

Can you point to where I said he thought it was a maga specific phenomenon?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Please point out where I said that explicitly

Can I point to where I said you said that explicitly? I can point to where I said you said it implicitly though. (emphasis mine)

You comment strongly implied that you thought Maple Engineer thought this was a MAGA-specific phenomenon.

You also more or less said it explicitly though, if you want to go down that route. I can't quote a specific part of your comment because your entire comment is based on this suggestion. (emphasis mine again)

You say that like MAGA are the only ones that don’t care about Israel killing Americans. Were you even aware that it happened under Biden?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So you can't point to where I said it explicitly.

Hypocrite

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lmao damn someone's mad. Why reply to me 3 times? I've never said anyone said anything explicitly

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Wow, I didn't realize it was 2012 again
