I really don't want the thread to become about personalities but we have been challenged. This is why I can't take Road Ratt seriously.
He has used dubious sources, for example, praising Hamas, uncritically, without trying to verify their accuracy.
I simply get tired of nonstop videos no matter who is posting.
Many people have tried to engage in serious discussions without success. But he still attacks us for not being willing to consider his views.
He has constantly used insults, over and over. Anyone who disagrees is stupid, brainwashed, in his words "a waste of shit". In a post apparently directed at me, he used pronoun "it", I guess because I'm a lesbian? Showing his views on my community align with Hamas.
I was nurtured on Zionism. Absorbed it with my baby food, so to speak. Although I long ago broke with Zionism and absolutely condemn what Israel is doing in Gaza, I know far more about the movement than he and it is far more nuanced than he gives credit. Yes, it included racists but the majority were idealists, often socialists, who wanted to live in peace. Many were Holocaust survivors, often the only survivor in their family, with no home to go to and no country that wanted them. Unfortunately the British played divide and conquer, aided by reactionary Arab misleaders and the extremists in Zionist movement. So here we are now.
Finally, he reads every disagreement as a personal attack. I am reminded of a very old pop song with refrain "why is everybody always picking on me?" Or of Trump, who in his mind is greatest victim ever. It is tiresome.
