Why you are being downvoted is beyond me. People’s lack of understanding of the middle east is profound. Easier to hate on Israel with barely veiled antisemitism than take a moment to understand that Israel is politically diverse, and that the religious whackos on BOTH SIDES fuck everything up for everyone. There was a cute arab israeli fellow student that was sweet on me when I was studying ethnicity and national violence in Israel/Palestine. My Christian arab israeli friend warned me not to talk to her, because (points to a group of guys that always looked like they want to murder me) those guys are Muslim Brotherhood and nearly beat to death the last guy that tried to go on a date with her. Even though she wasn’t observant, didn’t wear a head scarf, etc. Yitzak Rabin was murdered by the ultra orthodox. Instead, it’s “Israelis bad, Palestinians good.” It’s fucking ridiculous. Does Netanyahu blow goats? Yes. Does that justify blind support of Palestine? Fuck no.
