There are many people there not committing war crimes. This particular issue might need a little more nuance.

Until they're attempting to overthrow their govt in order to stop all this then they might as well be complicit.

Like every time a country conducts genocide people close their eyes and don't want to admit that, facing such crimes against humanity, every single Israeli has the duty to do whatever they can to stop their government. No matter if its a Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Jinping, Putin or Netanyahu (or some political conglomerate), and no matter where the injustice and moral corruption began or what once was, the people have to stand up against a corrupt system at that point. Of they don't they are indeed complicit, every single time.

There is no gray area or in between. You are either 100 percent innocent or 100 percent bad.

That's a tough standard. Does that apply to everyone or just jews?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Same standard that's been applied to Palestinians and Russians

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying that Russians and Palestinians are made to suffer for the crimes of their government and that it should be the same for Jews?

The great majority of adult Israelis are militant settler-colonizers

link: Conscription in Israel Since the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948, fixed-term military service has been compulsory in Israel.

I don't see how your statement and the hyper-texted link are relevant. I went through the sections but it's just their basic military service that a lot of countries require?

This is not in defense of a government, just want to make sure we're not making vague blanket statements on a populace.

There are anti-Zionist Israelis, but they are very much in the minority. It’s dangerous to be vocal about it.
