I despise Khalil. He's espousing anti-Western and anti-Israeli
values and is acting, effectively, as a spokesman for Hamas, It's
a misrepresentation to call him "pro Palestinian" as taking the
Hamas side is anti-Palestinian.

 

These are all lies. Khalil's position is to oppose Israel's genocide in
Gaza, which is the only moral position to take. Numerous Jewish groups
have taken the same position; Jewish groups have often led campus
protests. Anyone who supports Israel in its genocide is siding with
ideological descendants of Nazis.

 

I'm not going to bother to raise the usual counterarguments, which
you've obviously rejected.

 

Ok, Robin. I'll take it as you intended, that you've told me to go fuck
myself. I shall comply. Permanently.

 

I don't that's what she intended.

 

...nor what Adam intends.

 

Oh happy day! suzee and moviePig are here to tell us what Robin and Adam
REALLY meant!

 People mean what they've written. It's not subject to reinterpretation
by others.
 I didn't think Robin and I were being subtle in any way and I didn't
think I had to explain Usenet 101.
 I'll continue to post what I like but I won't force myself on those who
won't have a discussion by following up to what they've written. Anyone
is free to tell me to fuck off; I'll respect their wishes.
 Robin can use outrageous rhetoric and vitriol in followup to my articles. I
don't have to like it. I'd have preferred that she made an argument
so that we could have had discussion, but how she follows up to me is
her choice. As she doesn't want to have a discussion with me, then I'll
respect her wishes and stop following up to her.
 

I don't do Internet debates because they're like a dog chasing its tail--they don't accomplish anything.
That said, I felt I had to respond to an argument that I viewed as dangerous and outrageous.
