It makes sense, essentially by remaining oblivious and reductive about one act you can then allow yourself to also be blind to your own current amoral actions. Essentially it's easier to stay dense than it is to actually face the reality you are a part of.
no. No I think they know what side of that conflict they would have been on. because it's the side their ancestors were on-literally, look at what the zionists were doing during the run-up to world war two. it's so bad. then look at how they treated holocaust survivors after. also not great.
I think most teenagers are not nearly so self-aware. Most people see things as in-group/out-group, simple as that. Doing a nazi salute was probably meant as am (ignorant) way to defy authority; teen most likely was not thinking about palestine at all.
it's not defying authority, and you're thinking of american teens. zios absolutely do. they sing songs about killing them in school as young children. this is not a defiance of authority, it's perfectly acceptable in that culture. expected, even.
No -- nazi salutes are not acceptable in Israeli culture. Nazi salutes are the ultimate anti-semitic gesture. Why would those be "expected"?
you just said why. also, I'm pretty sure saying "from the river to the sea, palestine will be free" is the ultimate antisemitic gesture.
that's an antizionist gesture. Some fascists like to pretend antisemitism = antizionism.
yes, if you want to fuck around with nonsense like 'truth' but legally it's antisemitism.
