    For real. I genuinely like Israel and have many israeli friends still but the incompetence of Israel government is so staggering it’s imposdible to align with even if you think Hamas deserves nothing but be deleted and forgotten by all of history.

        Despite that it’s the only country in the middle east where you’ll not be tortured and murdered for being gay so umm there’s clearly something to like here, no?

          Israel has tortured and murdered more gay people than ever other country in the middle east put together.

            Or you know more than one thing can be bad right?

            The way people wash islam’s intolerance is honestly reaching satire levels.

              You realise that Islam is not a monolith but one of the worlds largest religions? That there are LGBTQ+ muslims? Muslim allies? Honestly this idea that there is a “one true Islam” is as ridiculous for Islam as it is for any other religion.

        i didn’t read it like that… i read it in the same way that you might read that you like many american people, but their government are frequently massive twats… the country is not the people, and in both cases there was (is) genocide involved

          Israel, the country, has apartheid enshrined in its constitution. And there never was a genocide of zionists. Indeed the zionists used the holocaust and other european antisemitic persecutions to their advantage

      Recent polls show 81% of the Israeli population agree that Palestine should be ethnically cleansed. It’s not just the government, and it’s not “incompetence”, it’s deliberate malice.

      And Hamas’s crimes are a drop in the ocean compared to Israel, so if you think Hamas “deserves nothing but be deleted and forgotten by all of history,” what do you think Israel deserves?

        They’re both terrorists, why try to defend hamas? A bad situation doesn’t excuse massacre. Both are guilty.

          One’s guilty of genocide, one’s arguably guilty of going overboard in self-defense of said genocide, though I don’t know how much of it is hasbara and how much of it real so I don’t really feel like I’m in a position to judge if they actually went overboard and you can thank the Apartheid Regime of West Palestine for that.

        You explain it very well. However, I don’t think it’s necessarilly their opinion that Gaza deserves deleting.
