Since we’re attempting to communicate, yes, it would help if you made yourself understood. 
I think point #2 in particular is dodgy. But that aside, I see where you were coming from. I think you could have been clearer that you were speaking about those positions in general, but I accept that that’s what you were doing. So I withdraw what I said about your attributing those views to me.
I think everybody who spends inordinate amounts of time arguing over Israel and Palestine should be forcibly retired.
You mean like… Blade Runner-style?
I doubt that’s going to save them, even if the Jews would accept it.
What the hell’s with the thread title anyway?
It’s not like they fitted Helen Thomas with cement overshoes.
You immediately claimed that I was (yet again :eek:) tying to falsely allege that someone was advocating for the destruction of Israel. When I pointed out that I wasn’t, you said I was ignoring your post and/or lying. All while casting disparaging remarks about how you claim I post. And that was after I’d already pointed out the difference I was drawing between the end of a state and its military annihilation.
If you want calm attempts to communicate, maybe don’t lead off with insults?
I hadn’t considered that, but … works for me!
