I never put words in your mouth or arbitrarily assigned more authority to one person or another in this thread. You did.

I provided sound, legal, cited arguments for the case that Palestinians are being genocided by Israel. You waved your hands and suggested that somehow, they're actually the ones doing the genociding, but you did literally nothing to back your argument other than try to piggy back on mine with nothing more than what looks to me to be the equivalent of an "I'm rubber, you're glue."

You called nations "unserious and wrong" because you apparently have an ideological disagreement with them. No consideration for their position, no desire to find out why many entire countries are calling what's happening a genocide, just: they're wrong. No reason for why, no counter argument, nothing. I would have expected you to at least try to take a geopolitical analysis along the lines of certain nations, like the PRC, may bandwagon just out of a desire to reduce American hegemony, but you didn't even do that, because you apparently have no respect for people you disagree with.

This whole conversation you've acted morally and intellectually superior to me and capped with a final condescension, in the meantime your words matched your accusations towards me. You have been unserious, you've been fallacious, you've been wrong, you've been utterly tribalist.

> You said that their goal is genocide, which is the unserious claim.

If, maybe after five years, you ever happen to stumble across this old thread, or remember the "horeshit unserious person" you briefly condescended to, I genuinely, truly would love to hear your thoughts on how you felt mocking those calling out the genocide of Palestinians as it happened, in the future as the whole horror of what's occuring has percolated through the global consciousness. I don't suggest people will ever stop trying to justify it, however I'm very curious what your personal feelings would be if future you reflects on your utterly callous dismissal of genocide. My personal email is caleb@calebjay.com, I've never shared that on this forum, and I'm genuinely interested on hearing from you in the future, I will do so without judgement.
