I have never understood how Israel fails to recognize the parallels between their treatment of Palestinians to the WWII Germany treatment of Jews. Kick people off their property (legally), force them into ghettos (legally), deny them basic needs (can't let weapons in), and now we're at the starvation phase. Does Israel want to be vilified? Cuz this is how and why you get vilified. I know there's more nuance, but the people who are going to hate on all Jewish people for the actions of the Israeli government are not the people listening to nuance or reasons.

Conceptually, yes, Israel has a right to exist, but by international standards, no government is 'allowed' commit genocide. Were it any other country, we'd expect U.N. troops in there (sorry Rwanda, we let you down).
