I understand your opinion, but in this case, where Israeli propaganda is so ubiquitous and supplants the truth for millions of people, anyone wanting to learn history or current events (especially as it relates to international law) should be introduced to facts and reality instead of scared away with a bruised ego. I think that’s a better way to enable truth and justice than tribalistic circle jerks.
That way if they are interested in learning the truth then we make it easier for them. If they’re not then there’s nothing we can do but we shouldn’t scare them off, that would be a disservice to the truth, especially when the mainstream framing of this situation is pro-Israel vs. pro-Palestine when the reality is pro-Israel vs pro-human-rights-and-international-law.
Bullshit, that was a great response

Stop being contrarian and write a better response then
Sure:
"Actually, Israel has, through policy and violence, turned Gaza into an open air prison and the UN has legally affirmed the right of the oppressed to fight for freedom by any means necessary.
Israel’s claim of self-defense is not valid under international law, since they are attacking an area they occupy militarily.
