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”.
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
but Israel is too big to go blanket on them like this. ?
Rhodesia collapse and was replaced by a new more equal state, the same should happen with Israel. There is zero argument for keeping an ethnostate in existence, Israel must be abolished.
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.
Do they though? They’re brainwashed since kids at school and serving in the military is mandatory (both genders, very egalitarian), so i wonder what percentage is actually against and what are they doing.
As you say - brainwashing is effective. And I wouldn’t be so quick to condemn everyone for having been brainwashed, especially because attacks against a country as a whole is only going to strengthen populists and nationalists therein.

Let me refine: “Fuck the Israeli government!” I have no beef with the country / people insofar as they hate their genocidal government.

Brainwash is real. However, I am disappointed that you completely ignored the “insofar” limitation to my statement.

The one they continuously support and have for decades?
The only issue they have with Netanyahu is the corruption.

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

More than what i’d’ve thought.

So what? You’re gonna lump them in with the rest just because they were born there?
