I don't particularly think it's my fault or problem that I've had to ELI5 things to people who are failing to grasp (or more often deliberately misrepresenting) things that shouldn't be particularly difficult to understand. But I'm increasingly understanding that expecting anything more than a sad scrabble around the bottom of the intellectual barrel from threads on here is a long-dead pipe dream.

Coming back to the question you posed earlier in the thread SB and Palestinians rejoicing after the Oct 7th attacks did you not see videos of the cheering in the streets when they paraded that German girl half dead through the streets?

I don't believe I questioned there being celebratory videos of Palestinians; I did query how many of those were women and children.

The other obvious thing to point out is that "many = most" is a very commonly made error. "Lots of people were there celebrating" doesn't indicate that the majority of people agree. Lots of people go to Wimbledon; it would be daft to conclude from that that most people are tennis fans. And, of course, no one would conclude that, because these "misunderstandings" only ever seem to apply to divisive issues.
