    Ok so then you don’t blame Israel for their genocide because of the oppression they’ve faced throughout history?

      No, I blame Israel entirely, because what they are doing now has nothing to do with the oppression the Jewish people have faced in the past. They are not fighting back against oppression. They are actively being the oppressors. It is a clear and distinct difference.

      Also, it is entirely disingenuous to conflate the Israeli state with the Jewish people. Stop that Zionist bullshit

        Not sure how you can say that. The Ottoman Empire and British Mandate Palestine are directly related to regions that are currently Israel and contained Jewish people who had been oppressed in that area and who were being oppressed in other places like Germany and had migrated there.

        The point being that you can’t excuse violence that affects innocent people just because they are part of an oppressed group.

          Cool, so now you’re just going to spit Zionst propaganda.

          I’ll not argue with someone who wants to conflate directly committing oppression on others as being the same as defending against being oppressed.

          Get bent and get blocked.
