> You did say "Jewish people" instead of "many Israelis". This is not the same.

I never said it was the same. I pointed out an instance of bigotry done by jews. And so I argue that it's not at all "ironic" for a person of jewish descent to (allegedly) think bigoted things. They have no moral high ground, and neither does any other race (however one chooses to define that).

As to the rest, I suppose we have different definitions of ironic. I don't find it ironic for members of one group to target members of another group with violence, despite once having been the targets of violence themselves. History will tell you this is the norm.




> I pointed out an instance of bigotry done by jews

An instance of bigotry supported by an admittedly large portion of Israel's population. Not by "the Jews".

> History will tell you this is the norm.

Irony is the norm in history, so it seems we actually agree.


You're now using scare quotes around phrases I never actually used. This is dishonest behaviour and I am done talking with you.


Suits me fine, since you're dishonest about what you wrote:

> Jewish people have no moral high ground here

and

> I pointed out an instance of bigotry done by jews

There you have it: written by you, about "the Jews" and "Jewish people". People are rightfully calling you out on this, and flagging you. You mentioned it, and now you're playing dumb, so there's truly nothing more to discuss.
