Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have beaten to death a United States citizen in his early 20s, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.

“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.

    I’m here but you haven’t made any good faith effort to contribute to the conversation for several comments.

    Why would I try to converse in good faith with someone who responds by randomly copy pasting Latin from Wikipedia because reddit taught them that’s what debate is, while consistently talking in the most smug, condescending and disingenuous tone imaginable?

      You would participate in a good faith conversation because you have intelligent opinions on the topic of the conversion which is the fact that the MAGAzis and MAGAzi bootlickers don’t care that a Palestinian American was killed because they don’t believe that he is a “real” American because he isn’t white, he isn’t Christian, and he isn’t a MAGAzi bootlicker.

      You instead used weak devices as a bad faith effort to distract from the subject of the conversation and thus to derail the it. My calling out those weak devices has rendered you completely ineffective. All you’ve done is whinge about my calling you out and called me names and hurled insults.

      It didn’t work. It isn’t going to work. I’m still here and I’m still willing to talk about the fact that the MAGAzis and MAGAzi bootlickers don’t care that an American Palestinian was killed because they don’t think that he’s a “real” American because he wasn’t white, he wasn’t Christian, and he wasn’t a MAGAzi bootlicker.

      If you want to have an intelligent conversation I remain willing, or just keep hissing and spitting, whatever.

        Why? When you’re just going to respond with copy pasting reddit debate incantations, lying, and talking like an anime villain. Which is exactly what you continue to do.

        or just keep hissing and spitting, whatever.

        That’s you, boo.

          I know you are but what am I?

          You just can’t help yourself can you? One tired cliché after another.

          The MAGAzis and MAGAzi bootlickers don’t care that an American Palestinian was killed because they don’t believe that he was a “real” American because he wasn’t white, he wasn’t Christian, and he wasn’t a MAGAzi bootlicker.

          A conversing isn’t a debate. It’s an exchange of ideas with the goal of expanding understanding of each other’s opinions.

          Do you want to have a conversion or do you want to continue to use one tired cliché device after another and have me point them out? The problem isn’t that I’m calling them out. The problem is that you’re using them in the first place. Stop being so weak and ineffectual and actually have a conversation.

              Still here when you have something intelligent to say.

                Are you actually willing to talk without resorting to insults, misapplying formal debate jargon you don’t understand, or misrepresenting what was previously said?

                  I did not insult you.

                  I pointed out that you were using logical fallacies to attempt to derail the conversation. If you don’t use logical fallacies I will not point out that you are using logical fallacies.

          No one is going to read 21 levels deep into a three day old slapfight.
