Read the comment again, closely. Arguing the Israeli government has a policy of rape is pretty gross.
That’s not a position I’m arguing. It may have been part of the reason he was banned. But not relevant to my argument.
And no modern army has rape as a policy, explicit or implied. Many turn a blind eye to it when it does occur, but hardly policy. Even Russia, with documented cases in Ukraine, don’t have it written down.
Well, you’re arguing that there’s some wider conspiracy etc. And in public discourse, ehhhhhh it’s more a very tricky line to walk.
But if you’re not talking in response to why this person has their comment removed, then it doesn’t seem particularly relevant.
It reminds me of when people are talking about the latest police killing of an unarmed Black man and a right winger comes in to talk about Black on Black violence statistics, not particularly relevant and it feels like they’re doing it to demonize the group in question.
Ok. If that’s the way you feel about it.

Yes, and in talking with someone else here, I realized that what you’re saying is pretty accurate and modified my viewpoint. Probably in the future I wouldn’t say something like that.
That’s the great stuff that happens when you let people say things, even if sometimes they are wrong. It would never have happened if I hadn’t come here to whine about my removed comment which actually led to a conversation about it.
