Since you are using the Civil Rights Movement as an example, are you able to point to parallels in the current situation beyond Gaza/Ukraine = Civil Rights situation? Who is the relevant MLK successor? Does this situation create a strong enough base to mimic the support the Civil Rights Movement did? Are there enough voting-aged people who are against the war and the genocide to tip the balance, and are we sure they won't choose to not vote as a way to further show support of Gaza? To add to the previous question: Does a war or a genocide on the other side of the planet have the same impact as the pain and suffering which caused to stand leaders such as MLK, Roy Wilkins, and John Lewis?

These leading questions sound like someone trying to gish-gallop and not the kind one would expect from someone seeking to expand their mind.

They're relevant. If someone is going to make a comparison between two or more things they should be ready to provide answers to inevitable questions. I asked them because I'm not as schooled on Gaza and Ukraine in reference to the Civil Rights Movement. I am legitimately curious and intrigued. I don't know how to ask them differently.

I don't see the questions as relevant or inevitable. No-one owes you answers. Perhaps you should elaborate why each or these questions are relevant, and someone else may be willing to engage with you.
