No acknowledgment of the factual inaccuracies in what you post about the current situation and the history.

No acknowledgement of the situation Israel has been in literally since the moment of its creation or the culture of death they’re forced to live adjacent to.

No acknowledgement of what that culture of death does and is doing in other places where the false Israeli “settler/colonial” narrative you perpetuate isn’t even a factor, or the fact that Jews don’t behave with the kind of violence and supremacist agenda anywhere else. You won’t see Jews stabbing a magazine staff over cartoons, putting death marks on foreign nationals over a book they wrote, detonating themselves in crowded cafes, or flying planes into buildings.

You don’t condemn the much worse violence and higher death counts in places like Yemen or Darfur. You don’t even care about the Palestinians when it’s Lebanon building a wall around Palestinian camps and having their military respond when the violence spills out.

It’s just when Jews are involved you feel compelled to write article after biased and factually inaccurate article.

There’s a word for people like you: Antisemite.

Criticizing the Israeli government for bigoted and cruel policy is fine, I do it myself. Taking what Israel does to defend themselves out of context and holding them to a standard different than other countries and cultures isn’t, and that’s what you’re doing.

Layering in a bunch of lies about the history is also a very bad look.
