I never said every. You're burying your head in the sand about what Israel has turned into. And don't lecture me on Israel like you have any fucking skin in the game. My grandfather was Israeli. I'm a Jewish refugee in the US. It's not bigotry to factually point out how absolutely atrocious the views of the majority of Israelis are. And how rooted in bigotry it is.

As a Jew who fled the USSR in the 1980s, I fully co-sign Norman Finklestein‘s (a Jewish intellectual and scholar on the subject who lost his family to the Nazi holocaust) assessment that Israel is a sick society.
In October, 58% Israelis polled said that Israel is using too little firepower in Gaza.
In December, they were polled and asked to what extent should Israel take into account the suffering of the Palestinian civilian population. Over 80% said to a little extent.
I’m Jewish. Go back to policing someone else.
It's important to understand that this is only because the hostages aren't returned. If every hostage was returned, Israel would be looking for every opportunity to level Gaza and further displace Palestinians in the West Bank. Israelis rioted for the right of soldiers to rape prisoners.
Edit: Israelis rioted instead of Israel.
Same experience. It can serve as a starting point but usually I have to sift through so many bad answers until something usable is made available.
Nothing I said is contradicted by bullet point 2.
I don’t take anything. Reported by Israel as accurate. How do we know Wassem Hazem was head of Hamas? The West Bank is controlled by the PLO. We’ve been gaslit by Israel for decades. Now, 11 months into a genocide, nothing Israel says is accurate.
What’s the difference when the IDF is fully providing support for their extreme acts.
Biden sucks on foreign policy. Trump would still be worse.
Trump setup up a U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. Wtf are you going on about? This is such a stupid conversation to be having. Of course Trump is worse for Palestinians.
I think you have an issue with parsing words on a screen. Nowhere in what I wrote did I say every. I said Israel as a whole would look for every opportunity to level Gaza and displace the West Bank. Israelis are not in the streets protesting the IDF ripping up roads of Palestinian cities in the West Bank. They're not protesting because there are 40k dead Palestinians (possibly as high as 186k which around 8% of the population). They're protesting dead hostages.
