When you misread:

'Are you a sophont...?'

For

'Are you a sycophant...?'

It's time for bed and to stop looking at #writing posts on social media.

Oops!Your disingenuous image ignores facts like the 75+ years of Israel invading, illegally occupying, forced eviction and destruction of palestinian homes, lands, crops etc, ethnic cleansing, murder, rape, abuse of children, kidnap of Palestinian citizens, use of abuse and torture by Israel.

Maybe Israel should release Palestinian hostages and surrender.

Arguing a point no one's made again.

Trying arguing points people have actually made with substantive arguments.

No it doesn't. You really are unable to deal with facts aren't you.

It's arguing a point no one made, therefore it is a strawman argument.

Your logical fallacy is ad hominem.

You've lost the argument, so have reveted to name calling.

Thanks for making it so easy to mute youπŸ”‡πŸ€£πŸ‘‹πŸ‘‹

Palestinian is an occupied country and has been for 75+ years.

It's worrying when people on the Internet like you don't know or pretend not to know thier basic history.

Since you can't argue a point without logical fallacy or ahistorical rhetoric enjoy the sound of your own voice πŸ”‡

Once an argument is lost, the loser resorts to childish memes rather than ague the facts and points made.

Thanks for proving that point and proving you have no substative arguments.

Enjoy arguing into the void πŸ”‡

Your image is a nonsense and doesnt support your "point" at all.

Your logical fallacy is strawman argument. Argue the point made not one's you construct to make false arguments against.

No those are the cold, disgusting facts about the Palestinian hostages that Israel are illegaly holding. There's nothing funny about the illegal kidnap of Palestinians.

Israel's fascists have been attacking Palestinians first for 75+ years trying to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from thier own land.

But enough of your faux images. How about you actually answer the points made in each post that thoroughly refute your arguments rather than moving the goalposts.

External journalists aren’t allowed into Gaza and the entire @aljazeera.com team in Gaza has been murdered by Israel with the killing of Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal today

Every day they try to hide the truth of the genocide they are committing

Israel should release the much larger number of Palestinian hostages who they have subjected to abuse and tortue and are holding without trial or charge, and Israel should surrender.

At least 60,000 as agreed as a Conservative estimate.

Your easily falsifiable and disingenuous images, wrapped in whataboutism don't change the facts.

If you had any more straw in that argument, you could build a house with it.

Israel's claim that every one of the 60k innocent citizen they've killed was Hamas or near a Hamas member, is easily refuted, palpable nonsense. Israel lies & lies & lies & lies to justify ethnically cleansing Palestinians in a genocide designed to destroy every school, hospital, news outlet etc

You have a right to an opinion no matter how bigoted it is. You don't have the right to be free from the consequences of expressing a prejudiced opinion.

Criticising bigotry β‰  "suppressing discent".

It's called freedom of expression. The LGBTQ+ community and our allies are using that right.

The "Ireland is full" folk are a truly outstanding example of how the ideology of violent whiteness trumps literally everything, including one's actual national history.

Maybe instead of yelling at leftists to shut up & support Labour already because otherwise we'll get Reform, people should be yelling at Labour to stop doing right wing politics that shit on those they're supposed to represent. Idk, wild thought, but maybe complain to those with actual power.

Paul Burston is the founder of the Polari Prize and a supporter of LGB Alliance. Malcom Clark is a founder of LGB Alliance, and he is currently using transphobic slurs and calling trans women who have an issue with the Polari Prize "freaks."

That is what you support if you support the Polari Prize.

Pressure β‰ suppression.

Rightly, demanding inclusion and rejecting trans and queerphobia≠suppression.

People's existence is not a debate.

Pressuring a prize for including a racist, anti semite or misogynist is protecting individuals from prejudice. Same applies when prejudice is against TQ people.

These complaints show that the majority of LGBTQ+, cis and heterosexual people stand united. Many LGBT people are queer and absolutely have the right to use the term they feel is appropriate and they're comfortable with. Dissent includes challenging bigotry against TQ people. Always LGB with the TQ+
