Disclaimer: I’m Israeli. I know Israel is not handling this war remotely well, but it’s also not guilty of the extreme accusations the internet blames it for.

It is guilty of genocide, and this is not an internet accusation.

this is not a policy that Israel has.

Yes, it does. It has been stated numerous time, the plan is another Nakba.

Yeah, he should have kept a lid on it like everyone else at the Wannsee Conference.

I’d honestly love to know more about what it’s like to be an Israeli right now. I’m adamantly pro cease-fire and have always been pro “let people keep their homes” and anti-apartheid, but never anti-Israeli citizen or Palestinian citizen to be fair. In the US we talk a lot about our government being colonizers and how the founding fathers shouldn’t be praised and we try to find ways to honor stolen land, albeit, it feels performative since I certainly can’t just give up my home if someone’s ancestor came back and asked for it. Anyways not to try to point too many fingers, but hopefully just offer a glimpse of my own moral dilemmas that feel impossible, I’m just wondering what the perspective is for you all? Is the segregation discussed? Is the foundation of Israel controversial among Israelis at all?

Mods here taking a Reddit approach to turning the conversation into shit. It’s wild to see develop so rapidly, what took years over there.

Thanks. This kind of reality check is very necessary.
