The point being that you're ignoring the actual content you're responding to?
If you really wanna play out that conversation, here's how that goes:
I say "The vicious Nazi graffiti doesn't belong in the same category as the anti-zionist protest signs"
And you say "Those protest signs aren't just anti-zionist, they're antisemitic. If you're calling for the end of the state of Israel, you're calling for the extermination of Jews everywhere."
And I say "So if you really just wanted to say that anti-zionism is antisemitism, why did you pretend to agree in your first reply?"

But we don't need to bother with that tedious BS, because I can use my super hacker skills to... view your comment history.
You're trying to replicate OP's original sleight-of-hand.
Placing unequivocal Nazi shit in the same category as people calling for international law to finally be applied against a decades-long genocidal regime, and then saying "You gotta tolerate or detest 100% of these things in one fell swoop. It's a bundle deal. And remember, I put some Nazi shit in there!"
If you've watched just 2-3 hours of news coverage in the past 8 months, you've seen this play before. It doesn't -- or it shouldn't -- fool anyone anymore, and you should be embarrassed to even try it.
