I had really hoped that today I could make comments that would not be misinterpreted as being antisemitic, but fuck, Israel, why do you make it so fucking hard

Every time I read about a shitty situation, Israel is always there. Either directly, indirectly, partially or fully, why is it always fucking Israel now?

Jews? Awesome.just like every other group of humans

Israel? Has been such a negative influence world wide that I feel that country should just be dismantled. Same by the way for the USA and China and Russia and North Korea, come to think of it, but yeah.

These governments should be dismantled, those in charge must face justice for their actions, and start over from scratch.

For Israel in particular though, they need to restart that as a secular country. Their religious beliefs really pushes all the worst impulses they get.

Israel is a genocidal state, period. This cannot be a crazy statement, this is literally from observation of facts

Israel uses antisemitism as a shield. They are tying genocide and ethnic cleansing around the necks of the entire Jewish people. They are muddying the waters intentionally. Unironically Israel is probably the most antisemitic country in existence today.

No antisemetism detected. Only bad faith actors would think you are being antisemetic

I'm sure Sammy Obeid will have a funny take on this.

Westerners can never criticise their own countries without making it explicitly clear that everyone else must also be doing it and nobody could possibly actually be better than them. It's just the narcissists prayer.

"Our government is bad, so all our enemies need to be destroyed and their leaders killed!"

Israel is already extremely secular, as are all it's biggest supporters
