“We’ve burned down buildings for no reasons, which is violating the international law, of course,” he told CBS News. “…And we used human shields as protection.”

    I have jewish friends (they weren’t even israelis) who refused to pledge allegiance to israel, their families ostracized them and told them to kill themselves in order to redeem the family’s honor…

    These people are deep inside a cult, their brains are sick and malfunctioning.

      The Israelism Documentary showed me a lot about how ingrained Israel has made itself in the lives of Jewish Americans as both an identity and a support structure. It’s a lot more insidious than I first thought

        Thank you for the recommendation, I haven’t seen this documentary yet and will probably watch it really soon.

      Yea, but these people are saying they are morally against it but still did it when push came to shove. I’m glad they’re speaking about it, but it’s so weird to be all “I’m morally scarred” about an action you did not have to take and knew was wrong at the time. Again, VERY glad they’re speaking out, but I wish they just didn’t do it in the first place.
