Hello Jonathan,

I haven’t once mentioned Jews. I’ve mentioned Israelis which are citizens of 
Israel. There are Jews worldwide especially of the Orthodox that 100% condemn 
the existence of Israel. This isn’t a Jew vs Muslim issue. This is a Israel vs 
Muslims issue and the fact that Israel exists through the theft of land, 
genocide, oppression and even blockading of the most basic of humanitarian 
supplies. Palestinians die everyday at the hand of Israel. You can’t tip toe 
around this issue and say there are Israelis that don’t support what’s 
happening that’s not true. Every Israeli supports the theft of land because 
they are by their presence on the stolen land complicit in the theft. Every 
Israeli is complicit in the genocide to because it’s not some fringe politics 
but it is the national political discourse of Israel to treat Palestinians the 
way they are treated.

You can defend Israel or you can be in the right side of history and stand with 
the Palestinians, United Nations, Human Rights Watch, BDS and countless 
organizations and human rights officials worldwide who condemn what’s happened 
and continues to happen in Israel.

Israel doesn’t have any right to exist it’s a apartheid and stolen land. 
Perhaps Jonathan the reason you defend Israel is because you live in a former 
apartheid state that stole land from Black South Africans and treated Black 
South Africans similar although much nicer than Israelis treat Palestinians. 
You benefited from apartheid in your own country as a White South African who 
for decades benefited as Black South Africans suffered oppression.
