It seems that there are a lot of Israelis that believe that there are no innocents in Gaza. And one could argue that it’s possible that a significant majority of the population is hateful towards Israelis, considering the history.

If you agree with this argument, can you please explain why and elaborate? And if you don’t, how would you refute it? There is no data that shows that there isn’t a significant majority that’s hateful towards the Israelis.

    It’s probably true for some definition of innocent except for small children and babies. The problem is that people making this argument don’t do so honestly otherwise they’d have to apply it to themselves and their own group as well. If nobody is innocent, it doesn’t make sense to use it as a discriminator.

      Exactly this. And all or nothing thinking like nobody is innocent. It’s like CBT 101 of stuff to let go of.
