You must be a big fan of Rush Limbaugh. You employ exactly the same diversion tactics.
1) Living in "peace times" is awful in Palestine.
2) There is a natural urge to fight back amongst much of the Palestinian population.
3) There is a necessity for a Palestinian state.
4) The Israelis and some Arab nations have made life for the Palestinians unthinkable by our comfortable standards.
5) There is no valid excuse for Israel to not immediately hand over nearly everything that reasonable people have asked for.
6) They should have done so yesterday, and they should do so tomorrow, but they won't.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
7) Therefore living in peaceful times in Gaza is worse than living in war times in Gaza.
I didn't "dismiss" anything, Sam. You've simply either mastered Rush's ability to sidestep any logical or factual claim by appealing to slander and emotion, or you simply don't have any concept of logic.
I'll repeat one more time for your benefit.
Sam: Sarcastic comment implying that Gaza (a) once had a time with no arms smuggling (b) that it wasn't helpful to Gaza.
Tyler: Pointing out the obvious fact that yes, in fact, life was better without the war. If it wasn't, we wouldn't all have gotten so upset over the war.
Sam: Life in Palestine is always hard! They're oppressed! The resistance is honourable!
Tyler: Nothing of what you said contradicts what I did. You just missed the point completely.
