Your framing was disingenuous, straight up -- it was a baiting question in the classic mold -- and that's why it was necessary to shut it down. When you start a question with "Surely you will admit ...", it presupposes a certain aura of doubt or guilt on the part of the person that you're addressing (as if you think there's grounds to believe they would be reluctant to give a normal, sensible answer to that question). You also buttered up your inquest with excessive detail, as if you thought the person you were addressing it to would be ignorant of (or in denial about) the events of that day. No one needs to answer questions like this. Always telling to see ... I find the bullshit insinuation of antisemitism that you're making here (on a public discussion forum, no less) to be rather insulting, actually.

You can deseminate my words all you want. > When you start a question with "Surely you will admit ...", it presupposes a certain aura of doubt or guilt on the part of the person that you're addressing No, it does not. You were fervent in your argumentation, so it is fair to equally fervently ask for a reply? > You also buttered up your inquest with excessive detail, as if you thought the person you were addressing it to would be ignorant of (or in denial about) the events of that day. I literally do not know anything about you or your level of subject matter expertise. > I find the bullshit insinuation of antisemitism that you're making here (on a public discussion forum, no less) to be rather insulting, actually. I'm not insinuating anything. Again, I don't know much about you other than you were very vocal about the definition of genocide as it pertains to the Israeli defensive response to the worst mass murder of Jewish life since the Holocaust and your abject silence and avoidance of answering a simple question, when asked about the other direction.

  I'm not insinuating anything. You damn sure were. Again, I don't know much about you other than you were very vocal about the definition of genocide as it pertains to the Israeli response You're hallucinating. In this particular thread, I haven't touched on the genocide definition in the Oct 7th context at all. Someone switched the focus to Dresden, and I started chiming in on that. and your abject silence and avoidance of answering a simple question. Because it was a leading question, as already explained. And the fact that you immediately whipped out the antisemitism accusation after I refused to take the bait proves that this was the stick you were carrying all along. You're just a bully. Go away.
