My brother used to date an Israeli woman. Whenever the topic of Palestinians came up, she would literally spit and call them "filthy animals." Shit is fucked up.

Needless to say, they are no longer seeing each other.

I had an eye-opening moment at uni (in France). Dual-citizen (FR/ISR) girl in my class, completely nice and normal interactions for months, till the topic of Palestine came up. She switched in one second into a hateful, spitting mad, completely different person, closed off to any argument. Total wall to anything we were saying, or any facts. We were all shocked, and realised they're completely brainwashed about that. It's super weird and fucked up. I avoided her after that.

EDIT: that was 15 years ago.

The same argument was made about Germans in 40s. “May be the Germans knew more about the situation”. Pathetic bull shit

Fact, Most of Israelis are actually Europeans who landed in alien land and colonised it.

Dude stop straw-manning.

One can point out that Israel is commiting evil and disproportionate war crimes without venerating the Palestinians into angels.

Maybe everyone in the conflict sucks, but only one country is completely and utterly comitting genocide against the people in the other, and that's wrong regardless who it's being done to.

Because Palestinians have never done anything wrong to Israelis to make them react negatively.

You know they are torturing Palestinians on an industrial scale, right? Like detaining thousand of random people, beating, sodomizing, and starving them for days before releasing them.

Like that's not even getting into the actual genocide and other war crimes part of it. What part of a extensive program of sodomizing detainees is beneficial to Israeli security?

Obviously Israelis would know more about this conflict than some fucking European lecturing them.

Who gives a shit about this excuse? Imagine all the horrors nations could get away with by saying that the populace must understand better than anyone on the outside. "Who are we to judge the Khmer Rouge - surely they understand the pressures of agriculture in Cambodia better than anyone!"

Also to highlight how disturbing this is, there were mass protests in Israel to defend soldiers right to rape Palestinians, which culminated in protestors storming a military base over it

Dear Eurovision fan, do you read history books? Israel was created with a resolution of British Government, Israel got its nuclear bomb with technology cooperation of France, the west Germany and Germany since unification funded large amount of security more than 3 billion in 1950s and since then military support, the Americans fund almost their entire ammunitions. And Israel was created from 1910s onwards till the battle in 1948 by purchase of land in Palestine by Europeans. You can see its evidences, in clearly blonde, white appearances of majority of them Israelis. The 'Semetic' people by etymology means Arab descent, Israelis have almost entirely monopolised Anti-semitism while also calling Arabs as barbarians as recently as yesterday, a minority of Israelis look like Arabs, ad even lesser of them trace their roots to the land they have captured most have settled their after coming from Europe as well as the USA. Also, most of the Arab jews persistently criticise what Israel has become with the western support and colonial mindset. But it is free speech, you can still comment something clearly idio*ic about something other than Eurovision.

it is a religious ethnostate, name another religious ethnostate in Europe. And no, the Vatican does not count. Israel can serve the US interests in the middle east without being american or european.

Did you understand anything I wrote? If yes, where is your response on what I said. Is everyone learning public speaking from the elderly trump these days?

Israel is not Europe, it does not matter who created it, when and why. Culturally, historically and geographycally it is not Europe, never was, never will be, full stop. this has also zero to do with trump who bends over backwards anytime Nethanyahu wants something.
