Solid attempt at pretending to miss the point.

The point being that you’re ignoring the actual content you’re responding to?

If you really wanna play out that conversation, here’s how that goes:

I say “The vicious Nazi graffiti doesn’t belong in the same category as the anti-zionist protest signs”

And you say “Those protest signs aren’t just anti-zionist, they’re antisemitic. If you’re calling for the end of the state of Israel, you’re calling for the extermination of Jews everywhere.”

And I say “So if you really just wanted to say that anti-zionism is antisemitism, why did you pretend to agree in your first reply?”

But we don’t need to bother with that tedious BS, because I can use my super hacker skills to… view your comment history.

You’re trying to replicate OP’s original sleight-of-hand.

Placing unequivocal Nazi shit in the same category as people calling for international law to finally be applied against a decades-long genocidal regime, and then saying “You gotta tolerate or detest 100% of these things in one fell swoop. It’s a bundle deal. And remember, I put some Nazi shit in there!”

If you’ve watched just 2-3 hours of news coverage in the past 8 months, you’ve seen this play before. It doesn’t – or it shouldn’t – fool anyone anymore, and you should be embarrassed to even try it.
