    It’s despicable how Netanyahu leverages antisemitism as a defense of his actions. He seems to believe it fosters unity, when all it’s done is dilute a concept that has plagued Jews for millennia. He needs to go.

      I think you’re giving him too much credit. He’s just saying whatever will let him keep the hostilities going so that he doesn’t leave office and promptly get his ass thrown in jail for corruption.

    Netanyahu’s government was elected democratically, thus, yes, it represents YOU! A Russian person can say that Putin’s dictatorship doesn’t represent them, but not you.

      There are more Jews that are not Israeli than Jews that are. So no, Netanyahu doesn’t represent Jews like me. I was born and raised in Indiana. I don’t speak or read Hebrew. I have no interest in going to Israel apart from the archaeology and I certainly don’t support them.

      But to people like you, I am culpable for Israel’s genocide because of the big nose and the curly hair.

          You’re feeding right into what Netanyahu wants, you realize? He would like to speak for all Jews and tie them all to Israel.

          And he’s completely wrong. American is a nationality. Judaism is a religion and culture. They are not mutually exclusive.

            And if I don’t like Nazis I must be a Hitler incarnate. What is wrong with you?

        Down votes don’t mean shit. Especially when people are coded like robots to yell at anyone who doesn’t support the status quo and American exceptionalism.
