(30,109 posts)If you're on a discussion board asking your opponents questions while expecting answers in return, then we should expect answers to our questions. We very rarely get them, which leads us to believe you know you're wrong, you can't defend your view, but you'll keep on advocating for it anyway. The only question that really remains is 'why'. Why advocate for a position you know to be wrong, harmful, and unjust.
I am for 2 states and I don't demonize Palestinians, so it makes no sense responding to the rest of your post. Demonization means resorting to half-truths, lies, and exaggerations in order to paint one side in the worst light possible. When I criticize Hamas, the PLO, and advocates for the Palestinian cause who advocate the same positions as Hamas and the PLO, I don't have to lie or exaggerate. Do you really think that legitimate criticism = demonization?
