    The comment right before and after this exchange makes it clear he is specifically talking about IDF troops. Because of how Israel’s military is structured, this means a good portion of the state is included.

    “Not all Israelis are military targets wtf”

    “That’s what mandatory conscription leads to”

    Very clearly not talking about just IDF troops.

    Fuck, man, consider that line of thinking as applied to the War on Terror. That’s exactly the kind of ‘military age male’ bullshit that was rightly criticized as attempting to obscure the number of civilian casualties.

    You are spouting a known zionist talking point: “The IDF = every single Jew on the planet.”

    “Kill all the Israelis” is still genocide.

      Yes all occupiers are valid military targets

      I said soldiers occupying Palestine. Not “Jews across the world”.

      No I very clearly said IDF soldiers.

      Unless these soldiers decide to leave occupied Palestine they are not ex-soldiers because they are actively occupying and can be summoned for combat.

      He isnt saying “kill all israelis”.

        You do realize that ‘occupied Palestine’ includes all of modern Israel, right?

          The israelis can just go back home, instead of continuing to pretend they have any right to be there.

              The same thing that should’ve happened to the German kids born in Argentina. Send them back. Nazis don’t get to keep occupying a space, invaders don’t suddenly get rights for shitting out a kid.

                @[email protected] do you see why this line of thinking is a problem?

                  100%. I don’t share the persons views, I just think OP is wrong for jumping straight to calling him Hitler in our current climate, where the state of Israel labels any criticism towards it the same way.
