Why do you give him the courtesy of responding directly to his comment?

Better to follow the @aatisket "rules" of discussion......respond with a "ah, but what about...." or a "look over there".

In response to his claim that Israel is escalating the war, I posted:
"We know that in your warped version of the world, active defence = escalation.
You made that absurd claim about Ukraine, and now you’re doing the same in relation to Israel."

Did he respond to that?
Of course not....he "responded" with another of his "ah, but what about...." or a "look over there" posts.
