So are you racist or a nationalist? There’s a difference between criticizing Netanyahu and Biden, and entire nations of people.
criticising Israel's genocide of palestinians and consistent settlement of palestinian land going back 75 years and the American government unconditionally supporting them to do this for the last few decades regardless of political party isnt racist actually. I'm assuming you don't think that just because I criticise the actions of the Russian government that makes me a white supremacist who hates all russian people.
edit: im getting downvoted for saying genocide is bad and countries that commit genocide are bad lmao
Scratch a liberal and a fascist downvotes.
Can we start treating the bullshit line of "I don't hate the people I hate the government" for what it is? This is the 40th time in a row it's been used by someone who absolutely does conflate a government and its people.
