    Every Israeli I have ever talked with is at the top of my list for most racist and awful people I have ever encountered. The delusional and brainwashed bullshit they spout is so awful I try to actively forget it.

      I personally don’t like the idea of holding a group of people responsible instead of the government and its leaders.

        I mean, there are reasonable Israelis out there, but the genocide is pretty popular in Israeli society, with the only mainstream objections being purely out of concern for the hostages. This is not something that can be pinned purely on Israeli political leadership.

        So democracy is when voters have power but no responsibility? That casts political leaders as scapegoats for whatever stupid thing the mob wants.

        I can see why for example Americans might want to think the way you do.

        Those same people voted them in, and don’t seem to protest his policy of genocide at large. So why would they not be at least partly responsible?

    The Israeli people voted for Netanyahu, who used histororical strategies to convince good, normal people into demonisaing another, cohabiting people and thinking that complete extermination is the only and final solution. Not subtle,

      Makes me think Netanyahu and Hitler are very similar fellows who both want similar things.

        If reincarnation is real, it’d be real fucked up but unsurprising if Hitler was reincarnated as a Jew as punishment but instead of learning a good lesson he learned from his mistakes he learned how to get away with genocide this time.

    The NBI assesses countries’ global reputations across six areas, including tourism, people, culture, immigration, exports and governance. Japan, Germany, Canada, Italy, Switzerland and Britain ranked among the highest, while Israel came behind countries including India, Kenya, Russia, Ukraine and Namibia.

    (In case anyone else doesn’t know what this is referring to, seems like an interesting metric)

    I hate when I-told-you-so moments like this come with such a high body count.
