The original post by Q was put in such way, that it led me to believe that Smotrich's reaction to the recent killing of 13 years old kid was to demolish the town. So I looked up what Smotrich said on the matter, and it was nothing at all like what Al Jazeera reported. So I wrote a post with a link to Times of Israel interpretation of Smotrich's words and commented about that propaganda is so strong, that even reports in what was said - let alone what was done - are entirely different.

Then I looked at dates of those articles and realized, that the quote about demolishing the town was referring to Smotrich's reaction to killing of 37 years old instead, and the reason why reports are so different is because those were reports of different events. So I edited my post, provided the link to Smotrich's clarification on the matter, and also the fact that killing of two Jewish brothers was what triggered the events. I also explained this into the "reasons for editing" and was done with it. I didn't originally blame anyone for spreading propaganda.

However, then you saw me heavily editing my post and called me out for not taking time to figure out what actually was written. This led me to actually follow your advice and revisit the original post. After reading the original post several times, including slowly, it is obvious that this post missed the whole killing of Jewish brothers altogether and also appear to make Smotrich look worse by attributing his remarks to the killing of the kid, rather than the adult. So I replied to your accusations by saying, that the reason for the original link to be posted was that I was misled by what looks like a deliberate attempt at misrepresenting l, rather than because of me being to hasty.

No, back to the topic. Nobody comes to this topic to read our current argument.
I wouldn't say that, gives me a chance to practice my conflict res skills
