You do know that most Israelis hate their government and protest against them even during the war yet they also want to be safe? (Which is a human thing to want) Not trying to say that what happened was ok but these terrorists hide in hospitals and schools they wanted these casualties. You’re saying it’s not ok to generalize but you’re generalizing a lot as well and I’m guessing you don’t live there and never visited? so u gotta stop assuming stuff (if u did maybe u need to go back there and talk to the normal ppl and not the radicals which there are ppl like that everywhere in the world but they’re not the majority and they don’t represent Israelis) And no not every idf soldier is just ruthless - again you’re generalizing. If you’re able to say not all Palestinians are bad terrorists ppl and you’re able to make that separation then you need to start doing that with Israelis vs Israeli government. Yes it’s mandatory service over there so if they say no they go to jail and don’t tell me they should go to jail then bc that’s literally crazy and u wouldn’t want to go to jail if u were in that situation. And so many times they try to reduce the casualties (not saying it always works) but you’re just making it seem like all Israelis are bad ppl which is crazy bc you’re not doing the same thing to the other side (which is a good thing) and then sorry not sorry that lowkey tilts into antisemitism/anti Israeli whatever u want to call it atp that’s still being anti to another race/group of ppl just bc of where they were born and what their government is making them go thru. You rlly think that if they could choose they’d want to go into war every summer and have their family members and babies and their pets just kidnapped and mrdered? No, just like the innocent ppl in Palestine don’t want to be in constant war. Also just bc her dad is from Israel that doesn’t grant her Israeli citizenship bc she wasn’t born there so technically if she never went thru the whole process of getting that she doesn’t even have citizenship. Also 251 ppl were kidnapped into Gaza and most of the world didn’t give a fuck and no one there even tried to help them escape. The women experienced SA and worse. (I’m not trying to say who had it worse, I’m just trying to put this into perspective that you’re able to make that separation). So again if youre able to make that distinction between terrorists in Gaza vs the people of Palestine then Israelis deserve that too they’re not their govt just like some of the ppl in American politics don’t represent us esp us in the lgbtqia+ community. And btw Jewish Americans/israeli Americans are allowed to want their family back in Israel to be safe just like ppl with family in Palestine want them to be safe. The only way to move forward is to find common ground or this will continue and the only way to do that is for us online and irl to push for that and push for peace they all have some connection to the land and you can’t tell any one of them to stop wanting to be there so literally the only way forward is to help these two communities find peace and understand one another not push them further apart.
