Exactly, and that poster knows what they're doing, and it's not a quest for any truth. A form of gaslighting and covering up Israel's well established apartheid now outright genocide.

Thanks for the link! Sealioning more succinctly describes what i was getting at with that poster.

Thats a new one.

The issue is that I'm not after Indepth analysis and mountains if information - im after the bare basics you would expect from journalists.

Yes, poor you, we are harassing you for just asking questions about just the basics.

Rhetorically, sealioning fuses persistent questioning—often about basic information, information easily found elsewhere, or unrelated or tangential points—with a loudly-insisted-upon commitment to reasonable debate. It disguises itself as a sincere attempt to learn and communicate. Sealioning thus works both to exhaust a target's patience, attention, and communicative effort, and to portray the target as unreasonable. While the questions of the "sea lion" may seem innocent, they're intended maliciously and have harmful consequences. — Amy Johnson, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society (May 2019) [6]

Fuck off, troll.
