Oh.... and I'm a Jew. That doesn't got down too well with people who shout and holler about Israel and Palestine but have been to neither, and have only read what suits their own agenda.

People haven't been to war zones either, but happily dehumanise the people fleeing them.

All of that lived experience would be exceptionally valuable in a debate if you had any interest in sharing or discussing it, but you don't. You just want to say "I have it", and expect that to be the end of the debate, then you're surprised or offended when it isn't.
