[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish people would distinguish between a nation and its current government.

Now more than ever, we should care about that.[/quote]

Several months into this current conflict, I was open to your argument.

Now? F that.

It’s wildly apparent to anyone paying attention that there is far more than a plurality in Israel who fervently believe that the policies and actions of the government are more than just A-OK. There’s also a level of compassion corruption in the radical, extremist Zionist movement (in Israel and here in the U.S.) that is, to be kind, clearly unnatural.[/quote]

Most Gazans support Hamas. 71% supported Hamas' attack on October 7.  I despise Hamas. But I will not hate Gazans because of their chosen government. [/quote]

What is your point?

Opposing on humanitarian grounds a one-sided, U.S.-funded war, to stem the tide of innocent civilians being savagely killed every day in Gaza and the West Bank, IS NOT an endorsement of each and every one of the views of those Palestinians.

I would expect that any Palestinian forced to exist the way they have for the past 80 years would harbor tremendous, immeasurable animus toward Israel. You should expect that, too.

One need not agree with the views and feelings of those Palestinians to oppose their annihilation. In addition, understanding all of that, there’s additional contempt for Israel - beyond the genocide and systemic indifference to non-Jewish human life - for having the gall to propagandize the world with their claims that they are actually the ones at risk of annihilation. Israel has had the full financial and military backing of the West since Day 1, and has never once been threatened. Full stop.[/quote]
