You did not link to a Wikipedia article. Unfortunately I do not have the resources to watch Louis Theroux's documentary, which I'm sure is full of his characteristic dry takes.

- tome 1y agoYour proof of apartheid was supposedly "in the occupied areas Arabs WITH Israeli passports are not allowed to visit certain areas". That's the claim that I'm challenging. Sorry if you thought I was discussing something else. If so then I can understand why you'd be confused.
- 4gotunameagain 1y agoYou are challenging, yet you are refusing to read the sources of the wikipedia article, or watch the documentary. You are challenged, not challenging anything.
- tome 1y agoOK, as you prefer. Thanks for persevering anyhow.
- dang 1y agoPlease don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- tome 1y agoWhich guideline did I violate? I genuinely don't know.
- dang 1y ago"I'm not inclined to continue to try to drag it out of you." and "I don't welcome your assumptions about [me]" are personally abrasive. The site guidelines don't explicitly say "please don't be personally abrasive" but they cover that kind of thing with more general statements like "Be kind", "Edit out swipes", and so on. Of course the GP post was outright aggressive, not just abrasive, and that is considerably worse. But we need users to stick to the guidelines regardless of what other commenters do. Not insisting on that just leads to a downward spiral, especially since it's human nature to underestimate the provocation in one's own comments.
- tome 1y agoOh Dan, come on, really?! OP has been making all sorts of claims and failed to justify them with any more than "just look it up", and also making all sorts of assumptions about me. Saying what I said was about the most kind I could be in response. I guess I could just simply not contribute, as I had planned, but tomhow did explicitly ask me to here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44720318 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44720318
