    Israel is absolutely being genocidal here, but it has nothing to do with them being Jews. They want the land, full stop. They believe they are more entitled to the land than anyone else, full stop.

    The fact that they are Jewish is really immaterial and hating “the Jews” because of what Israel is doing is a lot like, I dunno, hating white people because of the various White Supremacist groups.

    You have a supremacist government taking genocidal actions, any supremacist government would do the same, it doesn’t matter what the heritage is.

      And you have a population that largely supports the actions of the government.

      It’s not the government just doing what it pleases, it’s doing what its population wants it to do.

          I’m not disagreeing with you, but as my ex used to comment (she’s Jewish and went to private Jewish school) their religion is very clear in explaining they are the chosen children of God.

          Off the bat they are indoctrinated that they are better than all of us.

          All I know is my children are less safe in the world because of what the state of Israel is doing and that disgusts me.

              Oooh not like them. With them it’s clearly defined in the Torah multiple times. G-d Himself tells them they are His children.
