The Israel that I meet every day is made up of people who want to forge a path towards peace and security for all

Since the beginning of the war, I’ve met Arab-Jewish civil society organisations that exemplify this spirit, providing assistance across diverse communities.

    And so begins the inevitable “this is actually just Bibi’s fault, not us poor Israelis!” PR spin to try and get people to sympathise with the colonizers who will just elect an even more racist and evil genocidaire to do their bidding.

      What do you think an Israeli can do against their tyrannical government? There are already mass protests in their country for him to step down, give up their settlements in West Bank etc…

        Lmao mass protests for a change in government whilst still flying Israeli flags and supporting the invasion of Rafah.

        I can tell you what I expect Israelis to do when their government is committing a genocide in their name, but you won’t like it

      Netanyahu is on the wrong side of history… and so are you. There are a lot of assholes in Isreal but most people everywhere are just regular folks. You’re only a few steps away from shouting about “cultural bolshevism”. Don’t generalize by race, it’s what allows Likud to convince Isrealis that genocide is justified.

        Never said Israel was defined by Netanyahu, I said that Israel is defined by Zionism, which persists even if the figurehead changes.

        As for your naff rhetorical, Liberal Americans ARE defined by the colonialism, rampant capitalism, and disregard for the environment inherent in the system they support.

        Yes, because the dnc gives us candidates like he and Geno Joe, and we lap it up like dogs lap up vomit.
