    I wrote:

    Maybe you are under informed. The Abraham Accords and the moving of the US embassy were escalations in this conflict.

    Are you seriously claiming I said Trump started the conflict? What does the word “escalation” mean to you?

      Do you not understand that you cited only two events, and both of them occurred during the Trump administration…?

      I’m actually at a loss for words, because if you don’t grasp how your comment is explicitly stating Trump is to blame, I don’t know what else to tell you.

        Such a standard would require every response to include a whole historical account.

          No… what are you talking about?

          You said the escalatory actions were the Abraham accords, and moving the embassy to Jerusalem.

          I just pointed those were both actions taken by the Trump administration.

          So what requires a historical account? Do you mean you just want to site random historical events with no context, and if anyone points out when they happened, that’s somehow a bad faith argument, or an unfair standard to apply…?

          Oh my God… Did you really just read those “trigger events” in some article, have no idea what they actually were, or when they happened, but still decided to cite them in support of your argument…?
