    So Israel != IDF? I mean you’re right but I thought sticking to one frame of reference (country) might be best when the thread was about them.

      More like Israel != All Jews. Government obviously supports and orders the IDF around so they are as guilty as they are.

        Yeah but then you’d be looking at the Israeli government - more specifically the government of Netanjahu - not Israel. The people are pretty divided about the settlement stuff and the IDF had a hard time getting new people into their ranks recently.

          You understand the fact that Hamas also suppresses and silences any opposition in Gaza, right? It’s like saying most average Russians support the war because the statistics say so.

          Providing such statistics as you have without this context is lying.

          Not to mention, Hamas has not been voted in since 2014. In the votes that were supposed to happen, Hamas looked to lose, so they decided not to hold the vote at all.
