I do not think I am right about everything, others are fair to disagree. Heck, I have admitted to such on here and can do again. I was wrong to call for a second referendum on here, for instance, because it was a pipe dream that served no-one. I think maybe I am too sarcastic a lot, which I will stop now, but I am not obliged to agree. So gotchas there won’t work.
I can argue that the civilian tragedy is bad until I am blue in the face, but it won’t matter. My point has been what is the alternative to conflict and I have had that thrown at me when bemoaning anti-Semitism. No matter what happens in Gaza, it’s not an excuse for Jews to be targeted or made to feel unwelcome. Unfortunately many do, and the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza does not justify it, so answering with that does nothing but demonstrate bias for me.
As for sighing, I have used it twice recently, and was in response to comments from others I found troublesome for misrepresentation of arguments. It was an expression of my opinion, nothing more, and not meant to silence. My rule of thumb is that I can post disagreements, but don’t expect any other to fall in line. I can’t expect that, but I can express my own opinion nevertheless. Less sardonically in future.
