    That’s obviously the mature take, but my point was that you said it in a problematic context without nuance, which comes across as intentionally inflammatory.

    I assume you’re aware, and simply appreciate an opportunity to be pedantic (though I may be projecting there) but, jic- the headline(s) that the conversation were about say “Israel [bad thing]” but it’s understood as “Israeli government/military [bad thing].” When you comment within that context without specifying that you’re essentially referring to a different subject (the country/ their peoples), your comment is understood to be referring to the same subject as the article/headline (I.e., the government/military)
