    I truly don’t understand why almost every country in the world seems to love Israel so much. Israel can abuse and insult them all they want and at best they’ll just send Israel a strongly worded letter, only to beg for more afterwards.

      I wonder more and more every day if it isn’t just the “unofficially-nuclear-equipped rogue state that has made it clear they will take everyone else down with them” thing.

      Israel has done a very effective job of selling “we are the Jewish community” so governments tended to handle them with kid gloves for fear they would be seen as trying to replay tbe Holocaust.

      Unfortunately, it went the other way. Decades of blank cheque support let them act with impunity and eventually deliver their own genocide.

      I worry this tarnishes the image of Jews elsewhere, who are going to get blowback resentment for the livestreamed horrors. Chuds don’t have the nuance to figure out that their neighbour who has never set foot in Israel but places a menorah by the window probably didn’t personally slaughter infants, and there are surely peiole who will profit from magnifying that unawareness.

        I can already see blatant antisemitism becoming not just tolerated but celebrated in social media. It’s not at all surprising, either, which is why a lot of orthodox Jew organizations are very anti-Zionist.

        It’s probably the desired outcome by the zionist state as well, that’s their preferred rhetorical weapon.
