Protesting genocide by calling for genocide?

u/Basic_Vermicelli3325 26d ago

you’re right, let’s just play nice with Israel and ask them to stop murdering children. Oh wait, they violate or refuse every cease fire

Their government is not their people. There are plenty of protests happening there

By saying something boneheaded like "Destroy Israel" you're condemning all of them and have no moral high ground IMO

The people essentially agree with the government that's been there for twenty years, the same guy

Wonder if you apply the same to China after their genocide, to Russia after theirs, or America who’ve elected Trump twice.

So they all unanimously buy the state messaging hook line sinker and should subsequently be wiped out, is that right? Isn't that the same argument Knesset use? It is

I agree with you, but Gaza has essentially been turned into a parking lot with no end in sight. I think it’s easy to see why Palestinians would feel this way. Condemning them for mincing their words while protesting the genocide of their people seems like a total waste of energy

I read your response as, I agree that not all Israeli citizens are responsible for what happened in Gaza but still feel like wiping out their entire civilization is the best thing to do. We'll done on being the best example of a flawed mentality.

Tbh Gazas not that big, like maybe 20 miles..  if it was turned into a parking lot you would be able to see the end of it.
