Another great way of not getting your civilians targeted is to wear identifying uniforms.

It's almost like Hamas doesn't want to prevent civilian casualties.

Well that totally justifies killing everyone in sight

No, but it does justify telling all civilians to evacuate weeks before launching an actual full scale attack, increasing their odds of survival from 0% to 90%. War is ugly.

War is ugly.

Supporting white supreamcist settler-colonialism is ugly, too.

Most Israelis are non-Ashkenazi, so not "white".

And considering there has been a continuous Jewish presence in Israel for thousands of years, your (lack of) logic is flawed.

Did you find some big words you're trying to find a way to practice?

Say it louder. Bellow it from the rooftops so that every Jewish person in occupied Palestine can hear you - they aren't "white" enough for you... just like your European ancestors insisted when they massacred Jewish people and drove them from their homes due to their rabid antisemitism. Show them why you really enable them, right-winger.

Jewish presence in Israel

Yeah... that's why there are Jewish Palestinians, Christian Palestinians and, of course, Muslim Palestinians. They have been there for centuries - long before Christian antisemites invented the ideology of Zionism.

Until you start using terms like occupied America and occupied Australia, you're just a hypocrite.

And an antisemitic hypocrite, at that.

Oh look... a right-winger pretending that criticizing the west's little kapo state in the middle-east is (somehow) "antisemitic."

How precious.
