In the precise sense that, after Frederick posed a question - would Hamas
et al. apologize for their killings of civilians? You resorted immediately
to name-calling; saying that Frederick's "mindless response" was a form of
bullying.

Go back and read your own words, Lawrence. You said his was a mindless
response, and that this was a form of bullying, and you didn't like being
bullied.

Did you make an argument? I thought you waxed sarcastic about the Israeli
"apology". Is that making an argument? No more than Frederick's comment is.

You are misrepresenting yourself. You called Frederick's the "official"
position, implying, of course, that yours is unofficial. Or is yours
actually another kind of official position? Maybe you could clear this up
for me.

How so? Because only Israeli crimes are of interest here? Careful,
Lawrence, your propagandas are showing.
