When certain groups of people actually do, repeatedly act in certain ways more often than others do

But they don’t, and in any case that’s not “psychology.” That’s just you being a bigoted fucking asshole.

when its so commonplace to them that other people have to point out that they are behaving that way because they do not even realize it

Isn’t that literally the described experience of being autistic? Having your behavior pointed out to you and you didn’t even realize you were doing it? Constantly?

How about the people that actually do that regularly?

Is that something you think is true about neurotypical people? That we’re constantly “assaulting and murdering”?

How is this not you just being a giant gaping asshole? You can wrap it up in therapy terms if you want but surely you have to see how offensive this is?

The source is well-known history. Open any book on the topic: British Mandate wasn’t just given to the Jews. The State of Israel was created for the Jews, and the Kingdom of Transjordan (now Jordan) was created for the Arabs. When they say “river to the sea” what river did you think they meant?

Jordan is the nation that Palestinians already have. They don’t want another one; they want the Jews to not have one at all.

Hummus is not particularly unique to Israel.

Potatoes aren’t even native to Ireland.

People pretty generally know that the Irish cook with potatoes, as a result of the Potato Famine and the resulting Irish diaspora. People are extremely likely to have interacted with people whose name and descent are Irish.

I'm saying that anyone calling children "just collateral damage" is evil

If they are, in fact, collateral casualties to a military action, why is that “evil”?

Doesn’t that depend on whether the military conflict itself is justified? If Ukraine strikes a Russian weapons depo and it unbeknownst to them happens to be Take Your Vatnik to Work day, they’re likely to wipe out at least a couple of families. Is that truly “evil”? Isn’t that just an unfortunate tragedy in an ongoing tragedy called “war”?
