You repeatedly correct people and engage in discussion that is not related to the thread, but whenever you are corrected or someone brings up something related, you suggest they’re off topic, spreading propaganda, misleading, or that their intentions are otherwise nefarious. That’s absurd.

The West Bank issues are very important in their own right. However, they only muddle the discussion, which is complicated enough as it is. The reason is that many arguments that are factually correct about Gaza are not factually correct about West Bank. And because term "Palestinians" is often used, it results in misunderstanding. For example, Jews are not removing anyone from their homes in Gaza and in no way interested in taking land of Gaza for themselves. This is perfectly correct statement. Now replace Gaza with West Bank and this statement is wrong.
