It feels like we're not going to get anywhere here. But yes, actually the situation in the USA is very different. If you were saying this 60 years ago, I'd have agreed with you, but not today. And, of course, if you *were* saying this 60 years ago, you'd find that I'd object just as strongly to the discriminatory practices in the US as I do to the ones in Israel. Using one example of terrible injustice to justify another is very strange.
And yes, to answer your question, I'm enraged by all genocides. But my country isn't funding any of those as far as I'm aware. And again, if the argument is really, "why is it okay for these other countries to commit genocide but not ours?" I think you've hit the bottom of the barrel.
And of course I'd object to Jews being killed if they entered the West Bank or Gaza. Although, of course, Jews DO enter the west Bank. And more often than not, in the case of settlers, it's the Jews doing the killing.
It's so silly to keep declaring that I don't care about Jewish lives despite my repeatedly telling you that I do. I've written several articles condemning the killing of Jews as well as criticising antisemitism. You're arguing with your imagination.
Anyway, I won't try to convince you of anything anymore. Instead, if you're interested, I'd really like you to flesh out why you're so devoted to defending or deflecting from Israel's misdeeds. You touched on it in an earlier reply when you said you strongly believe in Jews' right to have a country in the land of their ancestors, but if you're up for it, I'd really like you to flesh it out. I'm desperate to understand this in as well-rounded and good-faith a way as possible.
I won't reply or turn this into a new topic of debate, I'll give you the last word, I'd just like to hear what motivates your feelings on this topic.
