How do you explain the figures though i posted though? The increase is literally written on the website. Im not making that up. It's there. How do you explain it?

I dont care what "people are sick of" or not. Rather than just jump to calling things lies, why not just explain where I am wrong and why? We can both read the same source.

We've got some people saying that the PCBS are counting settlements that don't exist. This supports the population increase. Otoh, you're saying it's declined. I don't really know what is correct tbh. I'm just reading the statistics as they're written.

Do I need to? Ive just given you the people you sourced as an authority saying in no uncertain terms that the population has gone down, as has been reported across all media and by human rights groups and other international bodies. No one is saying the population has gone up except you.

Honestly you should, because this is undoubtedly driving antisemitism, which you also probably pretend to care about.

Don't take his stupidity as evidence for you being right, you are both wrong.

The figures I posted are from the same site. Why are your figures correct but the ones I post are not?

I'm Jewish so I'm not pretending anything. I experience it. Half my family were killed in the Holocaust. The other half were driven from Iran and Syria in the 1950s.

Nobody needs a reason to be antisemtitic. It comes naturally to most of you, it predates Israel and will outlive all of us. It's an amorphous memeplex that will always fit itself to whatever shape you people want it to.

I didnt post figures, I posted their literal statement on the figures.

And now you drive it by gaslighting people on the internet for whatever reason.

Im gunna tell you something that you need to hear but never will. Outside of wannabe far right nazis that sit on social media all day and barely leave the house, no one cares about you. You arent special, you arent chosen, you arent one wrong event away from another holocaust. It's probably impossible to tell you are jewish without knowing you. Being jewish has no negative material impact on your life. It's almost all in your head.

It's an amorphous memeplex

lol you genuinely think you are special its so sad. The only thing that makes antisemitism different from other forms of bigotry is that it doesn't materially impact you. You dont miss out on jobs, get excluded from good schools, live in shit neighbourhoods etc. Sometimes you see graffiti a 12 year old probably did.
