Do I really need to repeat myself? What I said in the comment you referenced is completely correct. No, being biased does not necessarily mean you are wrong, as I also already explained. Though I don't really know what you're even trying to achieve here, since you are ignoring everything I say anyways.

I can imagine that someone disagreeing with one is annoying if one thinks their opinions are the objective truth. Unfortunately, that's not how it works.

I'm not offended, I just find it funny that you're insisting you aren't getting angry while getting angry.

Anyways, there is a big difference between doubting someone can be completely objective and not believing a word they say. You don't have to be objective to be correct. Though in this specific case, I see no reason to trust the author, since there are no credible sources.

You are taking it personally, as proven by your childish insults.

If you had taken some time to think about what I said instead of getting angry, you would have perhaps noticed that I never said that we couldn't trust anyone from Palestine. Rather that this article cites no credible and verifiable sources and that their ties to Palestine are a possible explanation for why they might not be completely objective in their reporting.

Though I wonder, do you always believe wartime propaganda without any independent verification? Would, say, a Russian article about Ukrainian warcrimes be 100% believable to you? After all, just because they're Russian, doesn't mean anything they said is false, misleading or incorrect. You might just be biased against them.

I believe your issue is that you're taking this discussion personally. I really don't care about you. You aren't that important, sorry.

Why would I listen to your arguments when they sound like something a preschooler would come up with? I am generally quite open-minded, it is not impossible to change my mind on a lot of things. It doesn't really feel like you're trying, though. You seem to have given up actually trying to make a point quite a while ago.

I can tell you something I know I am right about: nobody here is unbiased. Not you, not me, not the guy that posted this. It's pretty much impossible to actually be objective in this conflict. However, it takes no more than a few minutes of looking at the website of this "news" organization (it really isn't) to find out that most of their "news" articles on this conflict are unfounded accusations against Isreael with no source other than "someone told us". You'd have to be insane to actually believe everything they say. There's a reason no serious news outlet uses them as a source.

Next time, maybe try coming up with some actual arguments rather than parroting other people's, though. That might make you sound at least a bit less stupid.

Or at least try to think about what the sentences you're copying even mean, because that's exactly what they implied.

Btw, that's not what bigotry is.

So you think the two are equivalent? You really don't see how someone could be biased on topics that concern their own country? Are you actually listening to yourself?

Most Palestinians probably speak English as well. According to your logic, that would make them biased against Palestine, then?

Btw you don't need to further prove your ignorance of the English language, you've done enough of that that already.

It's quite simple, really: You seem to believe speaking English, like billions of other people on this planet, makes me biased. At the same time, an organization founded by someone from one of the countries involved in the conflict is apparently objective. That does not make sense in any way, shape or form. Is that clear enough to you?

A lot of pretty simple things seem to be beyond you, so I'm not surprised.

Yes

did you straight-up just forget the most valuable organ?

Bottom right: O-O

Weird, because bad faith arguments seem to be kind of your thing.

The reason I speak English is, as I already said, that it's the most spoken language in the world. It's not that hard to understand. Though if speaking English made me biased against Palestine, why isn't it doing the same to you? Do you not speak English?

I already read them and replied accordingly. If you don't understand that, you're the confused one.

Calling this news is quite generous, they don't even try to make it sound like they're writing news articles. Citing sources seems to be beneath them, other than "someone told us".

Yeah, you're gonna have to fix those typos, because I have no idea what you're trying to say.

Anyways, my point was that my country was never a British colony and isn't any more influenced by any "English power" than any other western country.

Not on mobile, but that's besides the point. The point is - do you seriously believe the organization led by someone from a country engaged in a war is going to be objective in judging what one of the parties in said war is doing? Because if you do, I've got a bridge to sell to you.

I am not a native English speaker.

Depends on the context. But I doubt any of them can be objective about a war their own country is involved in.

Add it to what?
