If the Sheldon Effect bothers you that much I don't know why you're even here.

LPT: for the sake of your sanity stay off Reddit

I think the word you're looking for is "derailing".

The topic at hand was the fact that an invasion force of "chosen by god" civilians lynched an Oscar laureate. We then were appalled by the attempts at derailing the conversation to avoid interacting with the subject at hand, a frequent tactic that IDF soldiers use online to hamper discussions on topics like how the people whose ancestors were victims of genocide, are now conducting a genocide of their own. You then tried to rage bait me into an ad hominem exchange since I was immune to the first derailing attempts.

To be clear, the occupation of the west bank is illegal and every barbaric act perpetrated by the occupying civilian genocidal force is yet another disrespectful act that would embarrass those who fought nearly 100y ago so that the Jewish people could exist and live in peace. Unconscionable, just unconscionable.
