The app for independent voices

I did reread and I responded to that comment and made a case as to why it did not hold up.

I was interested in you defending your position but you have just admitted you cannot. Fair enough, we have that clear.

Nothing I have said represents a hatred of Jews, i.e. anti-semitic, or of their religion, Judaism. Neither do I hate Zionism. But in each case it is valid to point out the wrongs inherent in both of them in policy and practice.

The anti-semitic trope is tedious and meaningless. Either make a solid case that one statement of mine clearly represents expressed hatred of Jews or we can conclude you cannot and it is merely name-calling.

And then delivering a load of insults, without substantiation, and all sorts of ad hominem excuses as to why you cannot make a case, does not make a case.

I have never claimed and would never claim to be always right. That is ridiculous. Everyone gets some things wrong and some things right.

All I have done is respond to the claims and charges made and present a case supporting my point of view. You have that same right and indeed privilege.

And please, ending it with - please have the last word. That is childish. You launch into a series of insults and personal abuse and demand, as your final comment does, that the individual you are attacking can deliver no response. And, even more snide, that if the individual dares to respond, they are doing so to have the last word.

Adults do not resort to such schoolyard bullying and language.
