Strapped down, blindfolded, held in diapers: Israeli whistleblowers detail abuse of Palestinians in detention center

81. Actually I do feel a *bit* of latent Jew hating as well

I don't know, it could be that I'm a bit more sensitive to this as I'm Jewish - there is the feeling that there are some who think that Israel doesn't have the right to defend itself. Growing up with family tales of oppression and violence would explain that sensitivity. With the world against you just for existing and no place to go when things may get really bad (as our history proves), the threat of the only place to turn to (Israel) to not exist is an existential threat to Jewish people.

The blood of the victims on 10/7 had not even yet clotted before there were crowds on the street against Israel even before it had responded to the attack. People celebrating the murder and torture of one's "people" is traumatizing. Those killed or taken hostage on that day were not combatants - as a matter of fact, many were supporters of the Palestinian cause.

Posters who are criticizing with acerbic remarks about Israel's initial response who have not supplied any reasonable alternative of[ ways for Israel to protect itself instead of the current course of action are not helpful. Using hyperbole in claiming "Genocide" doesn't help.

Eradicating Hamas does not equal the call to kill all Palestinians. The inference that Israelis are targeting women and children is a biased assumption - while there is no condemnation of Hamas'
intention of destroying all of Israel and killing all Jews.

I don't see condemnation of protesters shouting "Go back to Poland" to Jewish students from those who are of the anti-Israel pro-Palestinian persuasion.

As far as the Israelis who protest in Israel - I support them 100%. Of course they are well informed - they are living the horror.

Please don't conflate defense of Israel with defense of Netanyahu or Likud .

Maybe I misunderstood your post?
