      who said I reported that? I just said he’s called for cleansing and to report him. To be clear though, I do believe his words are in the wheelhouse of hate speech. It’s a broad term though and open to interpretation.

      Do you have no issue with the language that guy is using?

        No, I think he’s just accurately describing the situation. Hamas is a political entity, not a people

          To each their own. To him Palestine is not a people, to you hamas is not a people, but it will definitely be people that are killed in the service of that view. You can try to sit on technicality but read some of the endless posts this dude writes and he sees no separation. Words carry weight and used in the context that it was I find it extremely hard to think a rational person would phrase things that way without the intended connotation.

            It’s not a matter of opinion that Hamas is not a people. They are a political organization.

            Your interpretation is not rational so your expectations of a rational person are meaningless.

              It’s literally an organization made up of people and that’s the extent of what I’m pointing out rhetorically. I give no shits about what you are other apologists consider “rational” as you engage in a bad faith argument from the jump. Go pull your debate club shtick on someone else.

                This isn’t bad faith, but rather how words work.

                You are actually engaging in bad faith when you try to get someone’s comment removed for speaking in a way that is consistent with international diplomacy.

                Trying to ban a person because you disagree with them is childish and stupid.

                    My comment holds regardless of outcome from a mod, and if a mod is dumb enough to ban this person that just means the mod is abusing their authority due to inherent bias.
