It was strawmannirg - when someone gets frustrated addressing what you’re actually saying, and chooses to score easy hits against an absurdly exaggerated argument that you never made.
If you wanted to play the same game, you could have responded with:
“Oh, so Israelis are just supposed to lay down their arms, welcome Hamas into their communities, and hope they aren’t all slaughtered in their homes?”
And the person who straw-manned your position would sputter indignantly that they never said that and you’re making things up.
