Three reports to the effect of hate speech so far.
Some people can’t distinguish a people from a state. A genocidal apartheid settler-colonial state, at that.

Quite a few downvotes from Germans, even more than I expected. A lot of Germans are confidently incorrect about Zionism, Zionists, and the settler-colonial state of Israel.
Losurdo has a few good chapters specifically about a lot of the modern german ideological support for zionism in his book War and Revolution.
It's a really complicated subject, dealing with the historical guilt from the judeocide, and supporting Israel being an easy and surface-level way to alleviate that guilt.

No doubt reinforced by enormous amounts of hasbara.
Almost as if they're overcompensating for something. 🤔
the fsck is this
why
even if you refer to government policies (the ones in israel do indeed suck (source: an israeli friend)) this could be very easily interpreted as racism and antisemitism and a "jewz sux" by anyone
ill assume its a critique to the government and not nazi propaganda but seriously it really looks like nazi stuff
please refrain from posting this kinda memes thank u very much for reading (if you didnt read then fsck off and do it)
edit: judging by your previous posts, its safe to assume that youre just criticizing the fact israel is a literal apartheid and not insulting judaism, but there can still be confusion, so better to clarify more next time please
(already said my source on the government stuff btw)
protest for the sake of conducting the genocide more effectively is definitely enough reason to cut settlers some slack!
