Or did i miss it??

You missed something, likely.  I already answered a similar set in my post #171.

His question about "terrorism" is just a re-ask.  And he's not really answered the questions I asked in post #163

"Why isn't refusal to acknowledge both [right wing Israelis and Palestinians] exist and exert their views in their respective spheres ..."making excuses" for one side?
There is no person on this list who "consistently makes excuses for, and defends, groups such as Al Qaeda, ISIS, Hezbollah and Hamas." 
That you claim there is raises the question--by what criteria are you measuring/asserting all this?"

He just continues to assert that criticizing Israel a "Hamas talking point."

In any case, he is at the end of a queue. I'm working on responses to Matt right now, who tries to build serious arguments himself
and doesn't respond to serious argument with quips and personal attacks. Substance gets priority.

While I've got your attention, though, maybe you could go on record:

Do you think that acknowledging or reporting on Israeli war crimes is "supporting terrorism"?

If you think so, would you conclude the news should be censored; our list discussion as well?
