You can oppose Israel's policies while opposing attempts to eliminate them.

By supporting the latter you actually encourage the policies you probably dislike. Have a nice day.

I oppose the defunding of USAID , which has already killed thousands and may well kill millions before (if ever) it's restored.

I oppose the kidnapping and forced detention of people in the U.S. to torture camps in El Salvador and other nations, people who have not been given even the most basic judicial hearings.

I oppose the cruel bill that just passed the House that will eliminate life giving food and medical care to the poorest and most vulnerable among us.

I oppose all those things, but as a citizen of the U.S. I am just as culpable for our government's sins as Israeli citizens.

Do I deserve to be gunned down?

And so easy to shift the focus from horrific murders to "well actually" about Israel.

so much propaganda out there, and it’s working so well.

Innocent people on both sides.

Only one of the sides though is having their country literally being wiped off the map currently. Gaza will not exist much longer.
