[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Jewish, and it’s been incredibly hard for me to villainize Israel. I was raised to see Israel as a vision of pride and strength for a people—my people—who had been victimized over and over again.

But even I can’t deny it anymore. The country and its government have changed. I grew up with Rabin and Clinton and Arafat and hopes of  peace. But that is all lost.

It’s terrible. Oh the other hand, I feel like this has also led to so much anti-semitism. It’s been awful for the perception of American Jews. But when you hear people use words like “zios” as slurs it doesn’t exactly make you feel welcome in joining any kind of peace movement.

I’ve just resigned myself to keeping my mouth shut and privately hating what Israel is doing but also not being horrified at the people calling for Israel’s total destruction. [/quote]

At least you’re able to be objective about it. It’s a natural reaction for Israel to hate Gazans but Gazans are not the reason Hamas became what they became. Hamas existed since 1980s long before most of the Gazans were alive. Qatar and by allowance, Israel funded Hamas beyond anything the West Bank could ever dream of.

Israel strengthened the hand of the bad cop vs the good cop and for what reason? Major blowback now. They asssumed the bad cop would be a “managed” threat and a necessary evil to isolate Palestinians from the West/ world community and it majorly backfired. Hamas has more legitimacy now on the world stage than Israel even with the U.S. president which is insane to think about[/quote]
