    Interesting that you’ll only admit that I’m right within the bounds of what supports your argument and then deny, as you, yourself, pointed out everything else.

    That’s called cherry-picking, and it’s a logical fallacy.

      Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position while ignoring a significant portion of related and similar cases or data that may contradict that position.

      I did not do this so explain what exactly I cherry picked. Zionism, which is what the current conflict is about, has only existed for a little over a 100 years.

        So, not only do you employ logical fallacies like cherry picking to try to make your point, you also invent something I never said. I never claimed this was about Zionism at all. That is a straw man, and yet another logical fallacy

          You said the conflict is 1000 years old. That’s not a straw man. How is this conflict 1000 years old then?

            I’m not your history teacher. And you really should know what you’re talking about before engaging in a such a complex topic as this.
