It is interesting - though not surprising - that when asked to speak your point plainly, in case I misunderstood you - you complain I am "grossly misreading" it and refuse to do so. Of course if you refuse to speak plainly, it's easy to misunderstand - or, it's easy to say something and then when proven wrong, claim it's the opponent's fault for misreading it.



The basic point is that, while you seem to think that if people oppose Operation Iron Swords, it's because they take issue with "Israel taking necessary action to defend itself" -- when very obviously that's not what they take issue with at all.

What they object to, rather with extremely high (by all appearances intentionally so) number of civilian fatalities. Combined with numerous blatant statements by government officials and public figures in support of a complete removal of the entire population of Gaza.

What is normally called a genocide, in other words.
