You argued this:

> [@RO: Glenn Beck compares Utøya murder victims to Hitler Youth](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ro-glenn-beck-compares-utoya-murder-victims-to-hitler-youth/590311/117):
>
> They’re not Hitler Youth, but like Hitler Youth, they were anti-Semitic.

I point out the logical error here:

> [@RO: Glenn Beck compares Utøya murder victims to Hitler Youth](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ro-glenn-beck-compares-utoya-murder-victims-to-hitler-youth/590311/123):
>
> …except you’ve offered exactly no support for that assertion. The nearest you came was “In my opinion, a good deal of the anti-Israel sentiment out there is just a mask for anti-Semitism” (real quote) —which is not a sufficient argument. You would need to delete “in my opinion” and replace “a good deal of” with “all of” —and that would leave behind a really stupid and offensive statement. So no dice.

You then continue the argument that some/most anti-Israeli sentiment is anti-Semitic —a belief which, by the way, you support only with the argument that anti-Israeli sentiment is _unfair_ (another pretty vast gap that I never saw you attempt to fill.)

If you want executive summaries of or links to your later posts in question, I charge a very affordable rate of$15/hr. As I said previously, this shit isn’t worth reading twice.
