@etuomaala in that case, you are not posting in good faith.
This article is about people protesting the actions of the government of Israel. It's reasonable to assume the top level comments in here address the article topic.
Look, man, I already said exactly why I asked the question. What more do you want from me? I did not post in bad faith. Maybe "Fuck Israel." was clear to you. Fine. It was not clear to me. Jesus.
@etuomaala I'm sorry that you are having this experience, but your own description of your motivation makes it sound like bad faith.
If there was an article on a 40°heatwave, with a photo of people on a beach. And I commented "That's very hot".
If you asked me do I mean 40° is hot or do I actually mean the people on the beach are hot/sexually attractive. Because you have met people online before who objectify women in photographs.
That would be bad faith on your part, because instead of taking my comment at face value in terms of the obvious meaning, you would be immediately suspecting me of some other, far worse meaning.
Going around asking people who criticize a nation state whether they are also racist is similarly bad faith. That's why people in here are being so hostile.
For the last time, it is not clear to me that the guy saying "fuck Israel" is only criticising the government, even with the accompanying context. This is what I've been trying to tell you. It seems clear to everybody else here. Fine.
There are plenty of people blaming Israel and Israelis for what is happening in Gaza. If this guy is one of them, I want to know. Not because I wish to insult him or see him banned, but because I want to better understand him. And he still hasn't answered for himself. His is still the only answer I will accept. I should never have even responded to the other answers. I regret that I did.
Until I hear back from that guy, I'm done with this whole thing.
