I hope that native speakers try to use their language correctly, so that non-native speakers such as myself don't copy their mistakes when learning through reading
Your reply made little sense to me, I only just now understood where it comes from.
You probably think I am arguing in bad faith, just like the racists saying "all lives matter" as a dog whistle. I assure you, this is not the case. The crimes of Israel are terrible war crimes and those responsible need to be tried in an international court of human rights. The same goes for those responsible for the concert massacre.
I am saddened that people feel compelled to pick a side in this stupid an unnecessary war and then ignore, or at the very least excuse, the crimes of the side they picked.
The assholes of both the Israeli and the Hamas leaderships are complete and utter cunts. Normal people suffer because of their power politics. I hope you can see that.
When using be in an if clause for an unreal conditional sentence, always conjugate it as were, no matter what the subject is. Even if the subject is first-person singular (I) or third-person singular (he, she, or it), still use were with an if clause in unreal conditional sentences.
600 squared freedoms are 55 communists squared, in case anyone else from the civilised world was wondering. So not very big.
