Oh 99% (quite a bit less of course) of Israelis support genocide, then fuck Israel! No, you don’t throw babies out with bath water, even when they’re the worst and you’re mad as you should be.
Fuck any genocidal Israeli assholes, but Israel is too big to go blanket on them like this.
Why aren’t we antisemitic, b/c we know what words mean and we’re not antisemitic. Let’s talk like both those are true too.
Netanyahu should lick my pickled taint until he stops murdering kids
No, nothing like that, just wanting to clarify that it’s not a case of a rogue government going against popular opinion. Genocide is very popular in Israeli society, to the point that, if you ever talk to an anti-genocide Israeli, they tend to feel like political outcasts.
IMO, Israel is unusual because a disproportionate amount of the population are migrants who moved there specifically because they support the genocidal project, and people who were born there but oppose the project are far more likely than average to be able to move to another country and get out.
I think you are mixing the early stages of the state of Israel - certainly involving displacement and violence against Palestinian natives - with the recurring outbursts of Apartheid and crimes against humanity.
There were calm phases in Israel, and many people moved there without genocidal actions ever being part of the public perception.
There was never a time where Israel was not an colonialist and implicitly genocidal project. There also haven’t been “outbursts” of apartheid and crimes against humanity; those have been a constant at all times.
Tbf I’ve never heard anybody say nor seen anyone type “insofar” in my life so I assume he or she just didn’t recognize the word; also you could have just as easily typed “so far”.
Let me refine: “Fuck the Israeli government!” I have no beef with the country / people insofar as they hate their genocidal government.
Really important distinction

Judging by the mixed reactions my comment got, sadly half the people either don’t get it or they are anti-semites :(
Recent polling shows only 19% of the Israeli population don’t support the genocide
So what? You’re gonna lump them in with the rest just because they were born there?

and this is now where you are bordering hard if not delving into antisemitism :/ I have no desire to speak with you any further.
Anti Zionism is not anti-Semitism, and you know it.
Not what I said.
i have bad news for you in regards to what israelis think about the genocide
Brainwash is real. However, I am disappointed that you completely ignored the “insofar” limitation to my statement.
Tbf I’ve never heard anybody say nor seen anyone type “insofar” in my life so I assume he or she just didn’t recognize the word; also you could have just as easily typed “so far”.
“So far” has a different meaning and is incorrect here. “insofar” is the correct word, meaning “to the extent”
