>Maybe not but talking can help understand the perspective of the other side as well, I try to understand both sides as best I can so that I can look for areas of potential agreement and viable paths to peace. Honestly, based on this conversation, to be blunt, you either aren't capable of understanding the perspective of the other side, or it's not a good faith discussion. It's the old hearing versus listening issue. So long and thanks for all the fish.

There's a lot of competing narratives so it's clearly quite tricky, keep in mind the prevalence of conspiracy theories in the middle east is even worse than the west, especially when it comes to anything involving Jews. So one needs to be extra careful to not conflate widely accepted beliefs/narratives coming out of the middle east as fact.
