I said:

I actually think Hamas is a deeply corrupt and violent organization; most bad things that someone would say about them, I probably would agree with. Trying to use that as some kind of excuse...

And so on.

I do understand that UN reports and videos of dying children and straight questions which you have no real good way to answer are sorta difficult to argue against, which creates a certain pressure to pretend that I'm saying something which is the exact opposite of what I'm actually saying.

For your future attempts to falsely reframe the discussion and cancel out reasonable questions without admitting defeat, may I suggest:

  • You took that thing you quoted WAY out of context
  • This 90-minute Youtube video contains all the answers and I refuse to talk further until you watch it
  • How dare you say those bad things happened when (massive list of bad things Hamas has done dating back to the 1980s)
  • "Blocked"

All tried and true alternatives to "How dare you say that thing you said, I refuse to talk any further, I'm offended now" (which is of course itself an old staple, and with good reason).
