Truth and facts aren't propaganda, nothing to do with emotions. "Agree" is for opinions.

You're right, she doesn't slam the protests, she slams the ignorance of the protersters.

She was responding to Joe, who DID mention the protesters, in rather unflattering terms.

Sigh. No, they weren't conflating anything with the Palestinians. They were referring to the Biblical Philistines.

Do you grasp the concept that the Philistines and the Palestinians are not the same people?

I sure didn't. You assumed that connection because it suits your purpose. That's not my problem. N/T

In the same way the common language use of "You are killing me!" does not describe attempted murder.

As I keep repeating, apparently to no avail, "genocide" is a legal term, describing a crime.

I am not disputing the misappropriation of "genocide" to be used in common language.

Yes, I know. The word was coined in 1944 and was recognized as a crime in 1946.
