    A 1000 year Middle East conflict “isn’t a complex issue”?

    This is what you said in the context of the current conflict, which is Israel engaging in Genocide of Palestinians. That is a result of Zionism, which is fundamentally a Settler Colonialist Ideology that has only been around for a little over a hundred years, not a thousand.

      Interesting how you are you describe this is a complex issue, even posting links to proof, and still deny it at the same time.

      Is that much cognitive dissonance uncomfortable for you? Does it hurt?

        The history is complicated due to the decades of Disinformation by the Israeli and Western State Departments. Whether to support a genocide or not is not complicated.

          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.
