    When speaking about China, Westerners are quick to claim that they “hate the government but love the people”.

    When speaking about Israel, to hate the government is to hate the people.

    Which one is it, Westoids? What sets one apart from the other except racism?

      To be fair when 90+% of a population (in this case Jewish colonisers in Palestine) supports a genocide it is completely legitimate not to have very high thoughts of that population.

        I had an Israeli friend that was very progressive on just about every issue – from “socialism” to the environment to healthcare to queer rights.

        As sson as the Oct 7 Flood happened, it was all “animals” and “these are monsters that want to kill all Jews” (quoting the Hamas charter where it, in fact, does not say that shit). Instant mask off moment.

        Israeli society is iredeemable.

          Yep, fascists want to hide in polite society until polite society itself becomes fascist.
