    The distinction is hating the government specifically. It’s unlikely a bigot would hate the government, but not the people.

      Right? I have no problem with Judaism, Israel is what I have a problem with.

      No I also hate all zionist israelis. Nazi germany would’ve ended overnight had just a large plurality of workers stopped supporting the military. But it was the 1940s, there was no way they could know the horrors of the holocaust.

      Israel would end within a week of a national strike by israeli citizens, and they can’t even claim ignorance like nazi civilians could have. The truth is a majority of israelis support zionism and support the regime despite having all information available.

      Hating the people is okay too. As long as you’re hating them for the content of their character, not their nationality or other immutable characteristic.

        Most germans knew about the deportations, the torture and murder.

        It wasnt just the jews that disappeared, but also your grocer, who was active in the KPD or your former village mayor, who belonged to the SPD or your friend, who made a joke on the tram and got executed.

        My grandparents and great-grandparents knew. Just like zionist israelis.
