Yeah good one. I did miss it as was so fed up with him, and his inanity again, that i didn't read around it at all. And you are right .. "I too 'live on the other side of the world' but I recognize what is surely a sweeping, probably unfounded, generalization when I read one. Also I don't recall much if any "let's just go with, Israel bad!" rather than Israel bad for doing such and such. Which is pretty much the stance of most responsible citizens towards their own county's miscues and political/military disasters." Absolutely spot on there.
Back when i replied to him I didn't read past the first bit in brooklyn13's, why would i as it would have been his same old bullshit, totally ignoring all i have given him about stupid invalid whataboutisms. Now i've read it and yep, was just as expected.
i am never going to give him any more about what i've put on the board than i already have.
You know i've been as critical of Australia as i have of Israel, and of other places, and that i've given him more than enough to establish that. It doesn't appear to have made any difference at all to him. Just one of too many to him, here:
Then he goes on to say how to create context if you don't use whataboutisms. Fuck. Since when do you need context for what Israel continues to do to the Palestinians.
On this question brooklyn13 is an utter waste of time.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
