I never claimed Zionism existed for 1000 years. That’s a strawman argument, and you wasted an awful lot of time typing all that out.
Do you often find that using logical fallacies and disinformation and mischaracterizing what people said to be an effective debate tactic?
This is what you said in the context of the current conflict, which is Israel engaging in Genocide of Palestinians. That is a result of Zionism, which is fundamentally a Settler Colonialist Ideology that has only been around for a little over a hundred years, not a thousand.
Interesting how you are you describe this is a complex issue, even posting links to proof, and still deny it at the same time.
Is that much cognitive dissonance uncomfortable for you? Does it hurt?
The history is complicated due to the decades of Disinformation by the Israeli and Western State Departments. Whether to support a genocide or not is not complicated.
Interesting that you’ll only admit that I’m right within the bounds of what supports your argument and then deny, as you, yourself, pointed out everything else.
That’s called cherry-picking, and it’s a logical fallacy.
I did not do this so explain what exactly I cherry picked. Zionism, which is what the current conflict is about, has only existed for a little over a 100 years.
You said the conflict is 1000 years old. That's not a straw man. How is this conflict 1000 years old then?
