(9,688 posts)But no, I don't need help with pelsar. As I said several times about hasbarists, they don't engage in dialogue, they just use techniques as per a formula (as per article 1, above) -- and this is certainly a case of that. I had this kind of weird exchange with pelsar before, so I knew what to expect and pelsar delivered.
Consider the case:
delrem (continuing an earlier discussion):
"And by the way: The racism at issue is enshrined in Israel's law, pelsar. And I know you "didn't ask that", pelsar. It's just a *fact* that I like to reiterate when dealing with hasbarists."
pelsar:
"if all you doing is making an accusation about israeli apartheid laws..without listing those laws, without a definition of these "apartheid laws, that puts you in the same boat as those who accuse israel of lacing chewing gum with AIDs, drinking Palestinian blood etc (maybe you believe that too)
well.....i'm waiting for those laws to be listed and the apartheid definition (make it precise please) "
delrem (the link is to official pages listing basic laws and to high court decisions w.r.t. those laws, and is fairly comprehensive given that this forum is informal discussion and, well, folk like pelsar aren't exactly into *reading*):
" I've done this before, several times, so here's a link:

Now, as per usual, deny it yet again."
pelsar:
"thats it?....some israeli court cases?...
wow....thats pretty simplistic. I though at least you would have the guts to write out your definition of apatheid so that we could examine it."
heh, as I said, Que Eee Dee, talk about proving my case by drawing out the hasbarist's own rote formula!!
Continuing discussions like that is a totally worthless time sump.
Look at the time-stamps of pelsar's replies! 5 minutes! No wonder he hasn't a clue about the case he's purportedly debating...
