“Not all jewish people are Israelis so it would be anti-semitic to start hating random jews over this. It’s correlation not causation.”

“Yes, that makes sense and is fair. However, I can say that Israel as a country is being pretty fucking awful and since they’re separate things then I should be able to criticise one while leaving the other out of it.”

“No, now you’re being anti-semitic.”

Never believe that Zionists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The Zionists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Amazing how it's still 100% accurate

They aren't conversing in good faith, and continuing to have discourse with them is a waste of time.

sometimes it’s worth calling them out on their deceptive arguments… but anything past that is a waste of time.
