No one is comparing mass slaughter to being poked in the ribs. This has been explained to you.
Purposefully missing the point is a form of trolling. And it’s ends now.
The person I responded to directly made that comparison, and at no point has even denied that they have. I have not "purposefully missed the point" I have been very clear about the nature of my criticism from the start, including the fact that it has nothing to do with the point of the comparison, only the comparison itself.
If you want to ban me for saying that an ongoing genocide shouldn't ever be compared to getting gently poked in the ribs, if you think that position is "trolling" then go right ahead. All you'll be doing is making an absolute mockery of yourself.
They explained their point to you many times. I stepped in to explain it to you as well. Yet you continue to argue even after you say you understood their point and that the intent isn’t to minimize the suffering in Palestine.
This ends NOW.
And I've explained to both you and them many times that the point is irrelevant. And you are completely ignoring that and continue talking about the point of the comparison, which is again, completely irrelevant to my actual criticism.
