In response to "“Not for lack of wanting by some in his government”." by pmb

Yes. Let's unpack that.

I said some people in his admin, namely the ultra-nationalists, want genocide. NOT that it is what's happening. I was replying to you who said that this is not that, and I could have added an "It's not, but...", but I genuinely thought it was implied. You never saw me use that word. You also never saw me saying this is all Israel's fault.

I also would love to know what you *know* of me to say that my opinions are invalid. You can say that they made some mistakes because you have been there, I can't because you assume I have not. (Spoiler: indeed I have not, but my sister is Jewish and has been there 2 or 3 times already, but did you know that?)

Sure, some of the blame is mine because I didn't have the time or patience to write a thousand-word essay explaining in full my thoughts, but some of the assumptions you made about me are at least annoying and sometimes insulting.

“It’s not , but” would have been a good start. To assume it’s implied is much more difficult in these times when it way too often is very much not - pmb Mar 26, 19:24 4

  - I don’t really understand your second paragraph. - pmb Mar 26, 20:20 2
    - Again, point taken. - Marlowe Mar 26, 20:29 1
      - That was not at all my intention. I don’t believe anyone here is. - pmb Mar 26, 20:37
