Yes, Jewish people suffered greatly in the last century.
Yes, there people in certain countries/religions who actively want to kill Jews or at least Israelis.
Yes, Israel is a majority Jewish state.
But.
No, a past genocide does not give a free pass to execute a new one.
No, murdering thousands in collateral to catch the ones who might be dangerous is not acceptable (not to mention the executions etc of obvious non-combatants).
No Israel does not speak for all Jewish people nor have justification to excuse their behaviour/crimes as such.
Also, yes the Israeli government/leadership is corrupt as fuck, uses war to dodge accountability, and is involved in a lot more terrible acts than “just” the ones in Palestine.
Honestly, when Mossad was blowing up pages and mobiles I thought that was great. It was strategic, effective, and we’ll targeted at the actual terrorist leaders/allies rather than causing mass casualties… they obviously have the capability to be much more surgical in their responses, so mass-bombings etc seem that much more like war/hate crimes. Doing this just creates more hatred, which leads to more terrorists and a continual cycle.
Where do I approve of terrorism? My point is that the current actions are more likely to drive people towards terrorism, whereas intelligent strikes against the terrorist leadership actually reduce the threat
“Honestly, when Mossad was blowing up pages and mobiles I thought that was great.”
This was an act of terrorism regardless of your opinion about it being morally correct. Let’s suppose Hezbollah sent packages to Israeli military families and they blew up when they opened them wounding them and their family members. Would you also applaud this?
It was a disgusting attack that maimed and even killed children.

I was with you right up to the point you seem to approve of terrorism. Bizarre stance for sure.
