       I’m a Jew and I’m sickened by this. Yes, I was horrified by the Oct. 7 terrorist attack. But Palestinian  civilians are NOT Hamas and this is not defense. ⬇️⬇️⬇️#Israel dropped almost as many bombs in #Gaza in one week as the U.S. did in Afghanistan in one year — the heaviest year. Gaza is 141 sq miles.Afghanistan is 252,071 sq miles.#GiftLink https://wapo.st/3MwKPwy

       @MaxG @claudiamiles a No, it’s not genocide, but without action it could very well turn into that. Netanyahu promised to keep Israeli’s safe and used fear, much like Fox and GOP in the US, to convince voters of his appeal. That ship has sailed, current sentiment in Israel shows 74% of voters want him to resign. This attack on Palestinians to avenge the 10/7 terrorism of Hamas is barbarous and will result in more violence inside of Israel. Violence begets violence, as innocents die, Hamas gets stronger and all suffer

       @MaxG @claudiamiles 1/2Widespread killing on both sides but attempted extermination? No. If Hamas had the ability, I think genocide would be their goal. I think Palestinians are suffering greatly from this war, that Netanyahu’s attempt to extinguish Hamas is brutally killing innocent lives indiscriminately and is doomed to failure, but I do not see it as an active campaign to exterminate a whole people. What I see is a government fighting for its own survival against an existential threat to its existence.

       @CivilityFan @MaxG You know, that might be true if it were some other Prime Minister. But as for Netanyahu wanting to extinguish Hamas: Well, he has propped them up & supported them for years! Why? To prevent Mahmoud Abbas or anyone in West Bank govt from advancing toward a Palestinian State. It’s why he ignored a certain amount of rocket fire from Gaza.  It’s why he allowed millions in Qatari cash to enter Israel via Gaza. He’s responsible for strengthening Hamas.   https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

       @MaxG @claudiamiles 2/1The rallying cry “From the river to the sea” is a demand for the end of Israel, a statement calling for genocide. Jewish people in Israel created the State after a true genocide, not tens of thousand of deaths, but six million. Arabs have been opposed to the State of Israel since 1948. Israel killing indiscriminately now is an attempt to survive, not a desire to commit genocide. If you don’t see the difference from their perspective, then you won’t be able to communicate effectively with the other side.

       @CivilityFan  Israelis are not happy that he did that. They weren’t happy before but now that they have seen the result are extremely upset. They are not happy with how he’s handling the war. Many want him to resign. I honestly don’t know how he got back into office with all his indictments (and I know we have a similar situation, sadly). I have a friend with dual Israeli-U.S. citizenship and he flew back to Israel more than once just to vote against Netanyahu. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/netanyahu-israel-gaza-hamas-1.7010035
