    Hmm weird the Israeli who I knew wasn’t like that. Sorry to interrupt your broad generalizations

    Edit: downvoters mad that I know Israelis who aren’t hateful? That actually surprises you? Think I’m lying? People are fucking weird.

      I agree that generalizations don’t make sense. But do you mean they weren’t raised to view Gazans as subhuman or that they don’t look down on Gazans as a grown-up?

          Good to know that, I put a lot of faith in Israelis who rise against their own government.

            Well I’m not saying their parents are opposed to their government entirely, but they absolutely don’t consider anyone “subhuman”. I haven’t spoken to them in years so I don’t know their take on what’s happening now, but I’d be willing to bet they would at least admit it’s vastly disproportionate to the Hamas actions

              Do let us know if you talk to them. Always nice to hear a different perspective and an example that breaks the stereotype.

      That’s anecdotal evidence. Even accepting it as true, which I do, it does not dispute anything I said about the actual, verifiable, systemic brainwashing going on in Israel re: Palestine.

      Don’t believe me? How about a video of a former Zionist Israeli man discussing just that: https://x.com/ME_Observer_/status/1731160875308888191?s=20

        I believe you, but that is separate from what I’m saying. For example, I was brainwashed to think America is the best country on Earth. If it worked, it was temporary as I didn’t believe that by age 20, and I’m far from alone. So I’m just saying that just because there is brainwashing going on there, doesn’t mean “Israelis think Palestinians are sub-human”.

        I’m a Palestinian and I want to thank you for this video. I always wondered what would make indoctrinated Zionists see the wrongs of their actions. This guy found a formula that works: go there and talk to them.

        I recommend this documentary interviewing Settlers: https://youtu.be/Eac1l1ozfLc?feature=shared

        Especially at minute 10:30

      That’s a very good point, I’m sure most Israelis are lovely wonderful people despite the government and atrocities being committed. I bet most Palestinians are equally wonderful. Maybe we should be against indiscriminately killing them?
