We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

Big ups to the Jews speaking out against israel trying to abuse their name to commit Genocide. Take their "anti semitism" shield away.

Am I crazy or have I not seen most of the Jewish population speaking out against what the Israeli government is doing? Isn't it something like an 85% disapproval rate of their government of Israeli citizens too? This is what is making me confused with a lot of the attacks I've seen on the Jewish population of the world, it seems they're much more against the governments actions than I've been reading Palestinian peoples views of Hamas.

Netanyahu is deeply unpopular in Israel for other reasons. That doesn't translate into more support for Palestinians within Israel.

As for Palestinian support for Hamas or the actions of Hamas, Palestinians cannot be clearer, given the circumstances under which they find themselves Hamas represents the resistance to Israeli occupation, apartheid and genocide.

It's not possible to draw an equivalence between the two.

Outside of israel opinions differ a lot. Especially because the Jews don't believe that they are entitled to commit Genocide to steal a country.

Nobody is attacking Jewish populations of the world. Only Zionists. Though israeli lobbies such as ADL report any criticism of israel as "anti Semitism".

Inside of israel it's different. Israeli Zionists massively support killing off Palestinians. Not surprising since they live there and genuinely believe they are the Ubermensch that is entitled to expand their Lebensraum.
