    Sure they represent their country, but they aren’t government officials. You seem to be blurring the lines between government and country in a way that indicates that you don’t simply hate the actions of the Israeli government, you actually hate Israel the country. The next step down that path is to hate all Israelis.

    Not a good path to be going down.

    Now you’re nearing schizoid levels of paranoia. Take your meds, bro

    Trivializing mental illness. Classy!

    It is odd that this particular war is considered by many to be a leftist cause isn’t it? A war that started when Hamas (a fascist regime) brutally murdered people living in Kibutzes (socialist communes). It’s odd for leftists to to the side of fascists in this this one case and while normally being on the other side in other cases.

    You might not want to admit that leftists have issues with antisemitism, but you can’t control how others see leftism. Personally I think it keeps popping up because of the old “greedy capitist jew” stereotype which creates an association between Jew and Captialists. This makes leftists predisposed towards antisemitism.

    Being in denial of these kinds of things means you’ll never look at it head on. This hurts your ability to communicate your message on anything (whether it be leftism or Palestinian causes) because you’ll always be blindsided when people say “hold up, that seems a little racist to me” which devolves into you say “no it’s not” and derogatory insinuations about mental illness and such.

    People will rightfully turn away from those espousing hateful rhetoric. If you can’t be bothered to put any effort into learning why some rhetoric is hateful, you will be have no influence on people that oppose hate speech and you won’t even know why.

      This war didn’t started where you want to put the post. This war has been going on since decades ago, even a century (Zionists where bombing Palestine when it was still under British rule).

      If you find right putting the post on October 7th anyone else could put the post on October 8th and claim nothing happened before then. And it would be cheating too.
