I have quite a few anti-Israel folks reacting to my posts.
I'd really like to understand your logic, and how you determine the proper context, upon which you base your beliefs?
Muslims have been eradicating non-Muslims in the ME for 1400 years. Almost all non-Muslims have disappeared from the entire ME. It didn't used to be that way, but it is now.
So your anti-Israel beliefs are based on... the last month? The last 20 years? Whoever fired the first shot in 1967? (Not the weeks leading up to that, but only the first shot?) Or maybe 1948 is your starting point? Or maybe Balfour?
I'm being sincere here, not snarky. What's your context?
Here's my context:
Israel hates Palestinians because of Hamas' Oct 7th and previous attacks.
Palestinians hate Israel because they took their land, blockade Gaza, (which causes poverty and human rights issues), and are currently bombing civilians for 44 days running.
Does this sound like a recipe for peace?
Is the status quo of mutual hate and incessant violence achieving anything for either side?
Do any of the apologetics on either side change the actual facts of the situation?
At some point they need to recognize each others' grievances and start the long and painful process of negotiating peace. If they don't, nothing will change. Ever.
That's my context.
