There are idiots and assholes in every society.

True, but it is important to keep in mind that the current Israeli population isn’t just a random sample of all the Jews in the world, it is a mix of the ones who moved there because they agreed with the idea that Jews had a claim to the Palestinian land and those born since. To be fair there are probably also some who changed their mind since then and some who simply had nowhere else to go but it would be naive to assume that this self-selection process and the later ideological upbringing didn’t have an influence on the average current Israeli citizen views on the matter.

Not to mention that people who resist are chased out of the country with prison, death threats, etc. I have a homie who lived through this.

If you’re a decent person, you’re extremely persecuted under the zio regime.

Imagine saying this about any other genocide. The imperial gaze is strong here.
