No.

What you were actually talking about and what people might be taking issue with:

- an implied claim that Palestinians currently enjoy rights to self-determination

- comparing 4.5 million to 450 million people as if the welfare of those 4.5 million are not worthy of discussion

They do. They voted for their government in 2006. Then the ones who they elected decided to not hold elections again. Its good to virtue signal for Palestinians but atleast get the facts right.

It's clear who has the axe to grind.

> get the facts right

You're demonstrating that anyone can pick any facts to tell any story.

According to 'haltingproblem, self determination is being able to vote in an election in an occupied territory where there is no freedom of movement and a large portion of the population is dependent on humanitarian aid.

Since this is all so simple and clear to you, can you please arrange your facts to explain what the 982 UN resolutions on the "Question of Palestine" are about?
