Comment on Israel PM says ordered military to 'seize' Syria buffer zone

I keep getting removed but at what point are we going to admit Israel and by extensions Jews are the problem? Even the “not supporting” Israel Jews like Jordanlund and Flyingsquid are clearly a problem
I think the issue you’ll find is in the “by extension [insert group]” rhetoric.
This kind of logic becomes particularly problematic in this situation as less than 50% of jews live in Israel. So a majority have little to no say in what the state of Israel does.
What an insane thing to say. I’m Jewish (non-religious). I’m strongly anti-zionist. Most Jewish people I know, especially young ones, do not support Israel. Israel is a problem, but the moment you extend that to religious and ethnic groups, regardless of overlap, you’re inviting hate and violence. It would be like blaming Mexican people for Mexican cartels, Arabs or Muslims for ISIS, or ethnic Russians for the actions of the Russian government.
The Israeli government is “the problem,” not Jewish people categorically. Totalitarian regimes around the world are “the problem,” not the ethnic or religious groups that live where they occupy.

Israel is the problem. That is a simple fact. Genocide and crimes against humanity is the point of Zionism. But no all Jewish people are Zionists it just feels like that at the moment with the government being run by them. But there are many decent Jews who have been calling them out, protesting and reporting on war crimes committed by Israeli government. Let’s not stoop to their level.
