Absolutely. I don’t blame the children of Israel at all for what’s happening, and they shouldn’t be punished for it in 10 years (or now) because of the mistakes of their parents. My reasoning for the distinction is that if we focus on blaming the current administration, the “solution” will seem like we just need to replace who’s in charge and that everything would be good. But I very much doubt that would help, since hate for Palestinians is very much ingrained in Israeli society and that needs to be taken very seriously when considering how to move forwards.

Yeah this is a big distinction I always try to make clear. I blame Putin for the war in Ukraine, I blame Israel for the genocide in Gaza.

Whilst I believe you could arguably replace Putin with someone who would be better and over time undo what Putin did, I think Netanyahu would likely be replaced with someone just as bad.

Not quite as black and white as that, but in general that’s the sentiment.

I’m pretty sure it’s not. It’s not common for women to ever be topless in Scotland, but it’s not explicitly illegal to be naked (men or women). Only more vague public decency and harassment laws. If a woman in Scotland was topless sunbathing, they’d definitely get some looks, but I think it’s very unlikely the police would intervene.

Then vote for a third party, and make your voice heard. If 10% of the vote went to an anti-genocide party, at least next time Democrats would realise that being pro-genocide is bad for them.
