He literally walked over a memorial for Palestinians that were killed in the recent bombings. Completely disregarding that is disingenuous.

This is literally the same argument I see anti-Palestinian posters (yes, this is going over being pro-Israel and it’s more anti-Palestinians than anything.) You like to quote the article piecemeal, and then say it’s that the other person is obviously in bad faith since they want to mention the parts of the article you won’t mention.

There's no footage of that and he denies it. I'm inclined to believe him, given how he's being misrepresented.

So how can you believe anything else from the article YOU posted?

Tell me you posted this with an agenda without telling me you posted this with an agenda.

The article I posted acknowledged this. There's a lot of "he said, they said," attribution. I could just add easily accuse you of having an agenda, random Internet stranger.
