wow so sad, it's almost like they started multiple wars or something
I feel terrible for every citizen killed or made homeless/jobless because of this.
Hopefully they take the opportunity for a fresh start and move out of the settler occupation of Palestine.
If they voted for Netanyahu they asked for it, and I have no sympathy.
Well I'm glad all of your elected officials represent your views and morals.
The majority of Israelis supports the genocide of the Palestinians according to surveys and more than half of jewish Israelis support attacking Iran even without US support.
The majority of the world is critical of ALL Americans now for Trump, he was elected twice, thant's on them all. Israelis have expressed majority support for this ongoing genocide and attacks on Iran, this is on them all. Bomb a soverign nation "pre emptively" get bombed back.
Fuck the entire Israeli government and anyone who supports it.
The rest would do the same.
As they always have proven their entire miserable history.
Singling out Netanyahoo is Bernie the sheepdog's tactics of dammage control
Blaming the government in power and those who put them in power for the actions taken by the government is totally reasonable.
You're suggesting well "what about a hypothetical government that doesn't exist huh?". That doesn't matter. They don't exist. Blame the government
Every government before him was the same, they're not 'hypothetical'. Ridiculous argument.
What doesn't exist is a reality where the next government isn't brutally mistreating Palestine.
Your hasbara is weak
Israel didn't become an apartheid genocidal occupation of Palestinian land under Netanyahu. It's has been since its founding.
You're suggesting we close our eyes and pretend their entire history doesn't matter, that we just blame the current figurehead and his (variable but typically increasingly few) direct supporters.
Fun fact: every citizen of the entity is considered a reservist so there ARE no civilians! If you're a settler you're a valid target no matter what!
Idk man. If you’re a child, a unhoused, or a otherwise a person without the economic means to leave because your ancestors were settlers and you just so happened to be born in the colonized land, I’d consider you a civilian. I think your view is too black and white.
Screw you if you’re a deliberate Zionist benefiting from genocide though.
Israelis aren't walled in and prevented from leaving like Palestinians are in Gaza.
Israelis have no practical excuse to continue their occupation, especially when everyone is forced to serve in the IDF to actively aid the occupation rather than just passively.
As long as they are not on active duty, they shouldn't be targets. And if they are forced to serve, they should still only be killed if they are an active threat. Normally, they should first be offered to surrender.
Hope you're acting ironic and do not actually call to genocide all Jews in Israel.
No, but all Israelis that are zionists maybe.
Zionists are not Jewish people, they are actually against Judaism.
I believe it's the Talmud that says Israel cannot exist until the messiah returns. This is why you have many religious Jews in the US against the state of Israel.
Zionists are the one and only antisemites.
Zionists are mostly Jews, but Jews are mostly not Zionists.
But yes, according to Talmud, Israel shouldn't exist.
There are more Christian Zionists than there are Jews in total.
"Zionists are mostly Jews" is an objectively false statement.
Maybe specifically in Israel the statement could be seen as true, but that's only because Israel is a jewish settler ethnostate, so most of almost any grouping would be a majority Jews.
Zionist are not jews. They might say they are but the are against Judaism just like southern Christians are not Christians.
Hope you're acting ironic by saying that you can commit a genocide, put your gun over the fireplace you murdered a family to steal, and suddenly not be a valid target.
It doesn't matter if you put your gun down as a settler colonizer. You're still actively engaging in the genocide. You are still a valid target.
And the objective of any just war is to expel you.
Get on a plane and go home. No one's stopping you. That's your opportunity.
How are you engaging in genocide if you do not take part in the war? And especially if you denounce the actions of your government? Is being born in Israel enough to be seen as a genocidal maniac?
I swear this "settler" discourse is gonna drive me crazy at some point.
I don’t want to talk ethics, but as a rule of thumb, winning a war is easier if you take out strategic targets than if you target civilians. Targeting civilians is what you do if your weapons aren’t precise enough to target tanks/planes etc.
every citizen in Palestine and Iran too right?
RIGHT?
Shouldn't be a citizen on stolen land.
USAmericans sweating rn 😬
Don't think they care much. Or about anything except themselves for that matter.
The most navel staring country on the planet
The reason the US supports Israel is exactly because Israel is a settler-colony. They're part of the same genocidal settler project, Zionism is Manifest Destiny.
If landback wins in Israel the ones paying attention know that it's coming for them too.
It's also a geographically beneficial located proxy.
But they didn't have to make a colony of European settlers to do that, did they? Egypt is a loyal collaborator with the US and it fulfills the same geostrategic goals, but the amount of support Egypt gets pales in comparison to Israel. Why is that?
We can't dismiss the ideological importance of Israel. The unlimited support of the 51st state is exactly because it is a settler-colony.
Us next!
Manifest destiny said the US land is all ours. Also Hawaii. Divine right mandated by God, so..
/s
Not 'every' land but I get the point.
Still it doesn't compare and there's no excuse.
In this case the colonising is still going on, hence the genocide.
They are not 'citizens' but colonisers.
They deserve all they get, what they don't deserve is sympathy.
Just a reminder: 82% of all the Israeli Jews support ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
Just saying.
It feels like there's reason to inflate those numbers both for Israel and Palestine. Do we know they're credible? Genuinely asking, I'm not sure from my cursory searx.
What kind of citizen? Palestinian? Iranian?
All
I don't. I only feel terrible for the ones who were opposed to these attacks on other countries. Most of them (if the statistics I've seen are to be believed) support the actions, so they deserve the consequences. Maybe these people dying horrifically will finally make others consider the value of lives.
What they can't do some wars and genocide now???
