Yeah, weird, right? I wonder why people from all over the world aren't flocking to live in Gaza.🤔 I wonder if there's a single Israeli, just one, who would chose to live in Gaza for a year, even if we could guarantee they wouldn't face anything less than a warm welcome from the people who live there. I suspect not.

But yes, as I've said many times, if you want to criticise Hamas or Muslims states that discriminate against non-Muslims, go ahead. I will almost certainly agree. Because I am absolutely consistent in my criticisms of all religious extremism and ethnostates. The problem is that you can't say the same.

And yes, Thurgood Marshall was a Supreme Court Justice in 1967, so obviously it would be ✨ridiculous✨ to claim there were any issues with racial discrimination or injustice in America back then, right? Absolutely airtight argument you have there.

Just face the truth man. You're too intelligent ad decent for this nonsense. I know we argue a lot on this topic, but I genuinely respect you. I truly think if we had a drink together, we'd get on great. And I have no problem understanding the instinct to defend a country you love from criticism. But the weight of things you can't bear to look at must be getting overwhelming at this point, no?
