Since when has war not been awful? I don’t remember anyone complaining when Hezbollah attacks Israel though.

Ok, compare: Hezbollah attacks against Israel since Israel started a war against Iran: 2 dead civilians Israel attacks against Lebanon: 2000 dead civilians Similar ratio of children killed in Gaza where it's 1:500. There's nothing comparable about what one side does to the other in this conflict.

So you’re paying attention to the last few weeks instead of the last several decades.

Let’s put it this way. I’d rather send money to North Korea than give a cent to an Israeli business. I wish they’d get served the same dose of humility that made Germany ashamed to make any display of national pride, such as openly waving the flag, for many decades. But given who their closest ally is, many more people have to die before that wretched country finds a healthier way forward. All my solidarity to the Je…

The majority of the population in Israel supports this. And the horrifying and surprising thing to me is that a number of my American Jewish friends will just say "they feel conflicted", while their parents (in their 60s by now) overwhelmingly support Israel. Obviously this is anecdotal but I still found it shocking. The scary thing is that this unhinged behavior will only lead to more antisemitism and violence direc…

What is the alternative that Israelis could support instead? Just ignore Hezbollah's attacks? Give up on returning to their homes and schools in northern Israel?

Hezbollah attacks invading tanks and soldiers.

israel drops bombs on children, women, elderly, mostly civilians.

one is a justified defense, another is a war crime and ethnic cleansing

> most jews are lunatics Ironically, this is actually antisemitic.

he was referring to the famous DNA research, mentioned in this Israeli newspaper: Scientists Discover Gene That Predisposes Ashkenazi Jews to Schizophrenia Variations of the DNST3 gene make Ashkenazi Jews 40 percent more likely to develop schizophrenia and similar diseases. https://www.haaretz.com/2013-11-26/ty-article/.premium/ashke...

No. Jews having 40% higher chances of schizophrenia in no way justifies the view that most Jews are lunatics. It’s a minuscule chance to begin with. Saying “most Jews are lunatics” is just antisemitic.

Israel and the US are the number one terrorists on the planet. Israel started this fight and continues to fan the flames of war in the region. Israel instead should be a democracy with equal rights for all subject to its rule instead of an oppressive, expansionist, Jewish-supremacist state. Israel’s existence by violence is the source of the problem. Israel’s dismantlement is the answer. So, which reply will you go w…

Like lebanon was dismantled (it was a christian nation in the 1960s) solved all its problems? Giving in to the islamo supremacists just migrates the problem. If israel ends you will have dhjihad in cyprus, greek, al andaluz and africa. They dont give a fuck about that worthless strip of dessert beach, except for the fact that unsupressed dhimi thrive in it.

The only ethno-supremacists are the Israelis and the whole world is watching the Greater Israel Project unfold before their very eyes. It's concerning and probably unsustainable.

I don’t think Israelis have heard of the “Greater Israel Project”. Sounds like scaremongering designed to defend the indefensible (Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, etc)

You are ignoring the elephant in the room: the media environment that artifically inflames every single incident that involes a jew, no matter how small. This creates a fake perseption that if something bad happens to a jew in australia, that means that every single one of them around the world is in danger.

Similar to how school shootings in US are inflated to the point that every school has to create measures to defend against an active shooter.

Do this poisonous media tactice over decades and inflate the danger and you will make people pretty nervous and trip them over the edge

Hilarious and typical. Bibi mentions it all the time.
