My position is that the IDF commits war crimes. That's a position that rests on a factual, historical record.
 
Your position is they don't commit war crimes, because acknowledging they do "supports terrorism." You'll stick by whatever the IDF says. 

One characteristic of the ideologue is that he holds positions separated from evidence, and which cannot be affected by evidence.

That leaves ad hominem as a primary weapon, along with double standards and obfuscation. 

So of course you want to denounce "antisemites" and "Hamas supporters" but won't waste time arguing factual ground with "ideologues."
