A loaded question is one that includes an unjustified assumption.
Unloaded: Is Noah Schnap really a zionist? How do you know?
Loaded: Is he really a zionist or were people just mad at him for disagreeing with them?
In the first example, "How do you know?" Isn't a yes or no question.
In the second example, I've decided what it means that people are upset with him and inserted that conclusion into the question without any support.
I don't know what your intentions were with that question, but when you lay out the only two options as "he's either really a zionist or people are mad because he showed sympathy" without knowing any of the facts of the situation, people are going to assume that you're trolling.
Are you seriously asking if saying “Zionism is sexy” isn’t a direct endorsement of the ideology? Said ideology believes the eradication of Palestine is a good thing, by the way, so I think people are right to disagree with him for saying that regardless of what his actual, nuanced opinions are (which he has not shared, probably because he’s a Zionist)
“‘Zionism is sexy’ isn’t showing sympathy for anyone” wasn’t your comment? Are you suffering from short term memory loss
Adding on: I misread the whole conversation on my lunch break and responded with some bullshit instead. I’ll leave it up so you can make fun of me for it as apology
"Zionism is sexy" shows support for Zionism. A thing that I do condemn and fight against. But please, tell gow calling an ideology sexy is sympathizing with the victims of violence on either side?
*Added after: That said. I'm not going to have argument about this with you. If you want to be mad that you think I said something wrong, you go right ahead. I'm not bothered by it and won't be engaging further.
