I wonder how many of the protesters like the palestinians, this is only an excuse to hate Jews. This is what Israel says. But maybe many do feel empathy towards the palestinians but it's hard to know what people really think. Being pro-palestinian is required in many circles I think.
They use the OT to justify them taking the land, but most Israelis are atheist from what I read.
The government of Israel has so many UN resolutions on the table, some a phrase or two short of calling them genocidal, that the only way the Israeli government can and does respond is by insinuating anti-Semitism. The Jewish lobby in the US is so powerful that they're able to dissipate most of the blowback, but around the world? No chance.
Israelis are now being called out everywhere. Soon there will be violence against them, which is a shame, because 99% of Israelis are cool folk, it's their 1% Zionist leadership that is insanely violent and blood thirsty.
