      I used the search functionality, they have a degree in criminology, history, and law. I don’t know how common that combo is, neither do I want to cast doubt on this person’s comments… but it doesn’t help that the majority of them defy logic at every turn.

      Just yesterday, @JustZ@lemmy.world told me they know more than South Africa about apartheid, and thus Israel cannot be an undemocratic apartheid state. They also told me that when America didn’t allow women and black people to vote, it was “still a democracy”. But they also said that an apartheid rule is when a minority has control over a majority (this is the only definition they offered)… that would mean, by @JustZ@lemmy.world’s own definition, that America before suffrage for women and black people was an apartheid state.

        I deleted my comment due to some drama, but I remember also having pretty long conversations with this guy, who thinks that just because hamas exists, Israel is free to genocide

          No worries, I understand.

          Same here… for me it’s that the pretends to respect Palestinian life then says something that amounts to excusing genocide and 75 years of Israeli opression all in the same sentence.

        Youre a moron and have no idea what you’re talking about. Please stop tagging me. I don’t care what you have to say any longer.

        You post irrelevant links constantly, you lie about what they say, you lie about what you think I said, and it’s exhausting to try and correct you. I’m not your dad or your teacher so kindly fuck off and leave me alone. Do you understand?

              You’re right, I’m being immature. To be honest, reading about this genocide day after day, seeing Palestinians like me denied self determination and having their voices silenced… it frustrates me.

              Your attitude and bad logic (which I’m sure you know is my opinion… stemming from denial in my view anyway), makes my frustration even deeper. It irks me when seemingly normal people repeat empty hollow IDF propaganda.

              The truth is however that most people on the globe are decent and value the lives of others, so there is no need to get myopic about opinions like yours that deny a clear genocide… Most people I will meet in my life would not think it’s okay if the IDF killed me and demolished my house, and they would call a spade a spade. I think you going as far as calling Bibi’s Amalek comments as “cherry picked” is what made me realize I have better things to do, and that you represent the opinion that will hopefully end up in the dustbin of history as examples of human beings at their shittiest.

              I’ll stop now. Let me know if you need help blocking me though. It must have been pretty shit to keep getting messages from someone you weren’t able to block.
