    I’m sorry, the Israeli government was a victim of genocide? When? From whom?

    EDIT: Let’s try that on for size, quoting the words I’m criticizing.

    [The Israeli government] have become the very genocidal monster that [the Israeli government] was once the victim of.

    Makes no fucking sense. Nobody has ever genocided Israelis.

    You know that though, because you said:

    which is made up of Jews.

    Then you have made the target of your hatred quite clear. It’s Jews that you hate.

      Instead of countering my argument, you are engaging in pedantry. You know exactly what I meant.

      But for the pedants, I’ll rephrase my original statement:

      FUCK ISRAEL RIGHT IN THE ASS WITH A 2x4.

      The Israeli government, themselves descendants of survivors of one of the most horrific genocidal events in human history, have chosen to become perpetrators of genocide.

      FUCK ISRAEL.

      Sigh. The first “they” is the Israeli government, the second is Jews in general. The first “they” refers to who is committing atrocities, the second is referring to who has been the victim of atrocities historically. It’s either bad faith or obtuse of you to try to interpret it any other way.

      I hate the people in the Israeli government who are committing genocide. They happen to be Jews, which means that you would think they’d try to be better based on the history of atrocities being committed against them.
