        No. Just because you live in iseral doesnt mean you support your govenment.

          The vast majority of Israelis support the genocide - far more than support their government. It’s a fair generalization of Israeli society. The “not all Israelis” point is both obvious and pedantic.

            It’s a fair generalisation of the Israeli polity. The same way I judge Japan as a country for never really apologising for their warcrimes, but never hold it against an individual.

            That’s just prejudice.

            That being said, fuck Israel, and fuck these stupid laws that may end up in criticism of a state being illegal.

              Who is holding against an individual? I think it’s obvious that when someone blames Israelis they don’t literally mean every single Israeli. That’s why I used the word “pedantic”. Sure, in absolute terms what he said is correct but, at the same time, expecting that level of guarded language practically makes conversation impossible.

                The second-level comment is.

                “It’s not okay to be Israeli” is a different statement than: Israelis are doing xyz and are bad for it.

                I do agree that in most cases this doesn’t need to be specified, but “It’s not okay to be Israeli” is a blanket statement against individuals.

                I suggest we stop talking further though, as it does not seem we disagree very much.

        How about being a Muslim Israeli, is that ok? There are over 2 million Muslim Israelis.

          They should be ashamed, no better than house slaves spitting on the field slave. Like a black white supremacist, if you are a Muslim who considers yourself to be Israeli then you are Clayton Bigsby, Uncle Ruckus, Samuel L Jackson from Django unchained.
