    So nice to See that people See one indisputable evil, criticise it and then wishing it upon others.

    Spoke to an israeli the other Week, he was Here for a conference. Told us about how his family gets daily alarms to take shelter with his family.

    He was not cheering for the genocide in Gaza. He was not particulary keen on netanyahu - quite the opposite.

    There are good people in Israel and there are bad people in Israel. Let the bad ones get to court, let them be sentenced. Let them be a warning for the assholes that come after, that if you show such ‘hospitality’ you will be punished.

      they get alarms because they are in a lopsided conflict they perpetuate. They even try hard to kill any diplomats who try to ask for peace.
      And how can you directly compare an alarm going off to huge numbers of people who are actually killed every day by Israel. One is an alarm and one is murder and you try to compare them? Its existential threat vs actual murder. What an absolute garbage, smug, entitled, racist, ghoulish, war criminal way of thinking.

      You know how Israel claims they are forced to kill civilians because Hamas is using them as human shields?

      Your buddy is being used as a human shield by Israel.

      I am sure he is uncomfortable.

      Be honest. You mean that he simply didn’t mention the genocide at all because no one dared touch the subject beyond surface level uncontroversial chit chat.

      Fortunately there exists polling data from Israel on the subject of Gaza and Palestinians so we don’t have to rely on anecdotes like yours to gauge which way the wind blows in that country.

      Told us about how his family gets daily alarms to take shelter with his family.

      Oh the horror!
