I'm confused. Who else is fighting besides Hamas and the IDF?
There are other kinds of fighting than violence on a grand scale. Regular Palestinians are fighting the apartheid regime in ways big and small every day.
Thanks, that's pretty much what I figured you'd say. The down vote was a nice touch.
Yeah, I have this odd quirk of downvoting sealions when they ask bad faith questions with obvious answers that they refuse to accept. I'm kooky like that!
How do you distinguish between a good faith question and “sealioning”?
A good faith question is when you're honestly seeking clarification either because you don't know something or don't know what the other person means.
Sealioning is when you're "just asking questions" in a manipulative manner with no intention of taking the answers seriously under consideration or making a valid point of your own.
It's often used in place of an actual argument when the sea lion knows that their point isn't strong enough to withstand scrutiny.
Here's the origin of the term afaik:
defining is when you decide or declare that a certain string of words is equivalent to a word.
distinguishing is when you decide or declare which of two categories a particular thing is in
I know the definition of these words. I’m asking you distinguish, as you read comments on the internet, which are which kind?

Subtle, I like it
