I believe in another Israel – one not defined by Benjamin Netanyahu and his cronies - eviltoast

The Israel that I meet every day is made up of people who want to forge a path towards peace and security for all

Since the beginning of the war, I’ve met Arab-Jewish civil society organisations that exemplify this spirit, providing assistance across diverse communities.

    America was founded using genocide and slavery. Does that make all Americans genocidal slavers today?

      things arent going well when you’re tryin to justify your side by comparing them to colonial Americans. Yes America had a pretty awful founding. But the motivation for that founding wasn’t for an ethnostate, and the motivation did not persist through all of American history to the present day. Puritanism itself doesnt even exist anymore. America is still pretty awful tho and shouldnt be imitated or tolerated to invade other countries and blow up civilians.

        I’m responding to a comment that likens the founding of Israel to the current Israeli people.

        It’s literally the same statement about another nation.
