If you ask people in Palestine living under brutal Israeli aggression for decades, you will find that most of them share that emotion of genocidal bloodlust.

If you ask people in Israel about Palestinians, you'll find that a huge chunk of them share that emotion of genocidal bloodlust.

It's an extremely human reaction. Something hurts you, doesn't really matter what it is. You'll want to get rid of it.

I think you're universalizing your own lack of character.

Most people do not extrapolate from "this person hurt me" to "I want to eradicate every man woman and child of that person's ethnic group."

You're insane.

What you're proposing would absolutely be insane, we're in complete agreement about that.

However, it's an absurd misrepresentation of my position, and the fact that you have to resort to it proves the futility of your position.

It's not "this person hurt me", it's "this group of people hurt me".
