  I don’t think thats intended as collective punishment, thats war.

    You may be right… I don’t claim to know; sadly we may never know one way or the other… war does indeed suck. It makes me sad to think of all the people on both sides caught up in all of it.

      Eh i mean most Palestinian people supported the terrorists and seeing that these people are literally shouting gas the jews in front of embassies around the world doesn’t exactly make them innocent either, like they want to commit a genocide, Israel just wants territory and peace.

      Also my pity is further reduced by the fact that these religious nut jobs would kill me for being not straight…

        Fair enough, esp. wrt to you being not straight. Religious propaganda over multiple generations is a helluva drug for fomenting hatred and dehumanization.
