It seems that there are a lot of Israelis that believe that there are no innocents in Gaza. And one could argue that it’s possible that a significant majority of the population is hateful towards Israelis, considering the history.
If you agree with this argument, can you please explain why and elaborate? And if you don’t, how would you refute it? There is no data that shows that there isn’t a significant majority that’s hateful towards the Israelis.
DISCLAIMER: I’m not stating my opinion as I want to hear an unbiased opinion from you.
There are lots of people who commit crime without realizing that they’re doing something wrong. I know a guy personally who raped his date in college, and didn’t realize it was a rape until decades later. Was he innocent? What about drunk people? What about people who don’t “choose”? What if free will is post-hoc nonsense?
Do you think an infant knows right from wrong? I don’t… and I work my way out from there, looking for that same innocence in others. As to your friend or anyone else, I can’t answer for people I don’t personally know… even when I do know people, I still can’t always answer for them.
