Sam Abu Haikel was killed last night after being shot by a soldier in the Tel Rumeida neighborhood of Hebron. His parents, who were with him in the car on their way to his grandmother’s house, were also injured by the infiltration of the bullets.

I did not talk about genociding Israelis though. I expressed the idea that a big number of israelis oppose genocide and colonialism .
You qualified and minimized the statement of the person you were responding to, and they were responding to someone espousing genocide.
The person you were responding to expressed the idea that a big number of Israelis oppose genocide and colonialism - in response to the suggestion of genocide.
You seem to have assigned yourself the role of making sure to clarify that it’s actually a very small number of people who maybe should not be genocided, so it walks and talks like a duck at this point my friend.
I did not minimize anything while you guys are simply distorting reality. Only a minority oppose genocide and colonialism in Israel. I do not support genociding Israelis. I firmly believe with deradicalization israelis can live peacefully with Palestinians . The israeli who is likely to win against Netanyahu is another Netanyahu like grnocider.
I’m truly not disputing your point, and I don’t assume that you support genocide as a matter of belief.
But the top level comment started with the assertion that we ‘need to erase israhell off the planet’ which is a genocide. Your point was deployed in response to someone saying, in so many words, ‘maybe we shouldn’t do a genocide because not all people of a nationality believe the same thing’.
Then you come in with, in so many words, ‘yeah, but most of them do’ - as a further reason to…not do a genocide?
What point is your comment serving other than to soften the reason not to do a genocide?
My point was concentrated on a specific part of your comment related to the number of Israelis who oppose genocide and colonialism. Distorting reality by claiming a big number of Israelis oppose it is dangerous and help Israel continuing the extermination of Palestinians . Jerusalem Day Flag March where Israelis chant death to Arab and burn Arab villages has ten thousands of people in them while counter protests have few hundreds.
I’ve had a similar comment chain to this, it seems Israeli defenders have the same argument strategy, where they try to put words in your mouth. Kind of embarrassing for them.
