Re: Debconf in Israel
Hello Jonathan,
I haven’t once mentioned Jews. I’ve mentioned Israelis which are citizens of Israel. There are Jews worldwide especially of the Orthodox that 100% condemn the existence of Israel. This isn’t a Jew vs Muslim issue. This is a Israel vs Muslims issue and the fact that Israel exists through the theft of land, genocide, oppression and even blockading of the most basic of humanitarian supplies. Palestinians die everyday at the hand of Israel. You can’t tip toe around this issue and say there are Israelis that don’t support what’s happening that’s not true. Every Israeli supports the theft of land because they are by their presence on the stolen land complicit in the theft. Every Israeli is complicit in the genocide to because it’s not some fringe politics but it is the national political discourse of Israel to treat Palestinians the way they are treated.
You can defend Israel or you can be in the right side of history and stand with the Palestinians, United Nations, Human Rights Watch, BDS and countless organizations and human rights officials worldwide who condemn what’s happened and continues to happen in Israel.
Israel doesn’t have any right to exist it’s a apartheid and stolen land. Perhaps Jonathan the reason you defend Israel is because you live in a former apartheid state that stole land from Black South Africans and treated Black South Africans similar although much nicer than Israelis treat Palestinians. You benefited from apartheid in your own country as a White South African who for decades benefited as Black South Africans suffered oppression.

I sympathise with your views but you're stepping over a line here. Many
Jewish people and Israelites do not agree with what the government is
doing, and it's unfair to them to generalise and imply that all of them
are in support of the regime.
