(5,397 posts)Okay, I'll bite. How is what I quoted NOT an example of what I accused Ken of saying? Ken accused pelsar of believing that Arabs were sub-human, which I think is a perfect example of the kind of thing white supremacists and Nazis really do think. And since ken and pelsar are not the same person, ken obviously directed his comment at an "other person", namely pelsar.
He said something similar in this very thread. At some point, you're going to have to accept that the majority of Palestinians, like the majority of people in any other nation(other than the nations allied with Hitler in the 1930's)are not irredeemable monsters. The only way to read this and have it make sense would be to assume that ken thinks that pelsar sees the majority of Palestinians as irredeemable monsters, unlike people in other nations. This implies that pelsar's criticism of Palestinians stems from bigotry, rather than politics or history.
And I have never seen anyone say the things Ken says and THEN complain that they are undeserving of condescending comments merely for having a difference of opinion. (I assume the difference of opinion is that Ken thinks pelsar is a racist who can't see the Palestinians as anything but sub-human, and pelsar disagrees.)
