Let’s not conflate. I am against the current policies of the crazy Netanyahu government, not against “Israel” or the Israeli people or “Jews” (I am partly Jewish myself and have relatives who survived the Holocaust) Judaism is a multi-thousand year old anti-fragile religion, and Netanyahu’s crazy war is only two years old. Judaism will outlive this madness. And neither Netanyahu nor the ultra religious crazies that are part of his government have a claim to Judaism. I am also pro Palestine, but anti Hamas and anti Islamic extremism. Maybe these don’t square for you but they square for me and plenty of others.

Apparently, according to Peter, if all Gazans are responsible for their government then all Israelis are responsible for theirs.
That's not a response to anything I actually said. That's a deflection. The fact is you're perpetrating lies about Israel and you don't have a response. Also, I gotta say this is really fucked up: Not unlike this situation: in both cases the wrongful party is being rehabilitated in some fucked up notion of "peace" and "diplomacy", when the only solution that is working is military defeat.
Jewish and Christian extremism is MUCH MORE dangerous but you NEVER mention it do you? Millions and millions more died at the hands of Jews and Christians than at the hands of Muslims.
You're taking Peter Todd way too seriously

This does not say "the deaths are 72% males aged 13 to 55" as you said in exact words while posting the link image Why do people still take you seriously while you lie so blatantly and while you mute people like me?

You can’t seriously compare elected religious politicians in Israel to Islamic extremists. If secularism has a blind spot, it’s the tendency toward false symmetry and oversimplification. This kind of thinking is what gives rise to ideologies like socialism (where unequal pay is automatically seen as a result of unequal rights) and nihilism. Islamic extremists pose a far greater threat to Western pluralism, liberal values, and to non-Muslim minorities living in Muslim-majority countries, than any religious leader in Israel ever has. The Israeli democracy has the power to withdraw from territories - as we did in 2005, naively believing the Palestinians would change - and the right-wing religious leadership in Israel ultimately respects that decision. They place the will of the people above their own beliefs. You don’t see that kind of submission to religious pluralism and to the people's will in the radical Islamic world - from Iran to Pakistan.
