I have my opinion in the OP, did you miss it?

He/she is asking you for your input, rebuttal and expansion on everyone else's opinion that disagrees with yours. Not the same thing as referring to your opinion. It's called discussion.

Why should I spend time rebutting a topic that people have chosen as their hill to die on?

You are right, if there is no desire to learn, connect, or change one's unconscious bias (which we all have) to see others' truths then by all means just continue with your sleeper lopping zingers.

So this thread isn't for discussion?

This thread is only for declaring your hill to die on, but not to discuss it?

Perhaps you should have added that as a disclaimer to the topic post?

Or perhaps used a different forum than Political Ideology, where discussions of political ideology may safely take place?

This is a safe place for discussing political ideology.

This is your thread.

Why do you explicitly refuse to participate in your own thread?

-I mean some here right now are calm not violent people, yet if walking on the street some dude try to stick knife in to you or harm your own children ,Survival Instinct , self-preservation emergences.

Sure, but only a madman would start running around killing other innocent people who just happen to be walking by or near.

You know... like what Israel is doing right now.

Does banging one's head against a wall ring any bells?

Do you have evidence that all the Palestinians children of Gaza hate the Jews? Do you believe all Palestinian children in Gaza hate the Jews?

There are a lot of jewish and christian children in gaza too... are we to believe that these children also hate those in Israel?

Wrong again because the Palestinians put Hamas into power, so the people walking by hired they guy trying to exterminate an entire group of people.

Do these folks think the Palestinians are stupid?

That they didn’t know who they supported?

Actually claims have been made that the most of the population or even the entire population of Gaza is responsible for what is happening. Starting with the President of Israel and ending up here in these threads where even kids and women are responsible. Especially kids who make up almost half of Gaza's population.

It seems those who unequivocally support Israel doing have a keg to stand on.
