Well, that is at least a start. Now could we agree to switch "Israel as a nation" with "The right-extremist government of Israel, it´s military and the ultra-nationalist settler movement" please?
A nation includes all of it´s citizens, so that is a weird argument that seems to have only one goal, to be a killer argument against any critique of antisemitic propaganda against Israel.
How is generalizing all citizens of Israel -who as we know are mainly Jewish people- as casual child murderers not classic antisemitism? Please include in your consideration, that the narrative of child sacrifice and blood libel is one of the oldest antisemitic tropes there is and put the meme in a context with that fact.
Israel "as a nation" has been doing this since its inception in 1948. It has never been anything besides an ultra-nationalist settler movement. I suspect you either greatly lack historical context or are arguing in bad faith tbh.
I can see the true part in this oversimplifying generalization.
The same could be said about many countries. Are you by any chance a US american?
The fact that somebody has a different opinion than you does not mean neither.
This will not be the own you think it will
"if Palestinians deserve their land back, so do the Sioux, Cherokee, Seminole and all the other tribes"
"Yes"
