(76 posts)"it was a deflection of the accusation against Bibi and Buddies. You offered no argument of substance, you simply spammed videos. When VC asked you what on earth your argument was, you gave some sort of attempt at a "lesser of two evils" argument."The videos were the evidence. If you were concerned about being intellectually honest, you would have tried to figure what angle I was coming from before arguing against my position.
"You are the one who drew the comparison to Hamas."Wow! Amazing! You got something right!
"You did so in order to deflect a statement made from Bibi and Buddies and argue that what Bibi and Buddies does is okay because what Hamas does is worse (on some undefined scale o' villainy)" No, the actions of Hamas do not "excuse" or "make okay" Bibi's actions, but they may "justify" or "explain" his actions. Do you know what those words mean, or do I need to link to a dictionary for you?
"You're using Hamas as an excuse for the extremism of Bibi and his buddies, and arguing that that extremism should be dismissed BECAUSE HAMAS." That's not what I'm arguing. Telling someone what their argument is and than arguing against that position is pretty intellectually dishonest, and does not speak well of you as a person.
