Is your reading comprehension off? I said it wasn't an open air prison, which it isn't.

  The only thing that I'm responding to is the first three space-delimited tokens in your post, which was "Prior to 10/7,". Webster's dictionary defines "mention" as: > the act or an instance of citing or calling attention to someone or something especially in a casual or incidental manner So yes, you did mention "10/7".

    Indeed, I wrote "prior to 10/7" in my completely accurate statement that prior to 10/7 Gaza was not an open-air prison. I pointed out that there were roughly 500,000 exits per year from Gaza to Egypt and Israel in this period. The reason I mentioned this is because people justify the 10/7 massacre as some sort of freedom fighting operation where people were breaking out of a prison. Thanks for defining the word "mention," brother, knowing this definition really addresses the central issue and refutes my central point.

      I think @chaps was quite justified in defining "mention", given that you just talked about 10/7 and then immediately insisted you never mentioned 10/7. That suggests that you either don't know what "mention" means, or you don't take any care with your words. And if you aren't being careful with your words, why should we trust them?

        Yes, of course you think that, but it's also rather silly. I said "prior to 10/7", to point out that people claimed there was an open-air prison before that date. I wasn't talking about the attacks; I was talking about before the attacks. Do you want me to define "prior" for you?

        I think your anger is clouding your interpretation of words and intent of words. Chill, friend.

        I'm not angry.
