    Thank you for correcting me in such a condescending way. Not everyone is a native speaker, doesn’t mean I don’t speak English.

    Look at the comment I am replying to. The literally said Israel must go. What is that implicating? Certainly not Israel needs to be rehabilitated, like Nazi Germany, which is what I am advocating for here.

    Reading your second paragraph, we seem to agree.

    It’s the Comment I am replying to that seems to want Israel gone. How do you make that happen, without eradicating or displacing them (both of which is considered genocide)?

      Thank you for correcting me in such a condescending way.

      That’s an assumption. Am I psychic?

      Not everyone is a native speaker, doesn’t mean I don’t speak English.

      Non-native speakers usually write English really well. Should I know your background and education and your intent like I’m psychic, or should I hope everyone does something correctly and look toward that as a goal?

      Sorry I didn’t measure up to the next layer of goalposts!
