Going around asking people who criticize a nation state whether they are also racist is similarly bad faith.

For the last time, it is not clear to me that the guy saying “fuck Israel” is only criticising the government, even with the accompanying context. This is what I’ve been trying to tell you. It seems clear to everybody else here. Fine.

There are plenty of people blaming Israel and Israelis for what is happening in Gaza. If this guy is one of them, I want to know. Not because I wish to insult him or see him banned, but because I want to better understand him. And he still hasn’t answered for himself. His is still the only answer I will accept. I should never have even responded to the other answers. I regret that I did.

Until I hear back from that guy, I’m done with this whole thing.
