Give you a break over what? Pointing out the truth of Israeli sentiment?


Sorry, no can do. It is what it is, and it’s understandable. Even if I agree it’s unwise. Israel is reacting to rage over Oct 7 and fear that it will be repeated. Israelis want the hostages back, and they want Hamas rendered unable to carry out a sequel, which might be conflicting goals, and if push comes to shove, preventing a sequel is the priority for most.

The majority of those protesting here do not favor Israel’s right to respond. A large number do not really recognize Israel’s right to exist. And a lot of that is based on ignorance. They have no concept of the kind of state they favor creating over the one which currently exists, warts and all.
