I once talked with an Israeli guy. I asked him why he didn't care about Israel bombing hospitals in Gaza. He somehow changed the conversation to how Muslims are "dirty animals" and showed me an article of a Muslim in Gaza who kidnapped some girls. He ignored every argument and always changed it into some Muslim hating conversation.

At that point I realized how Islamophobic and racist Israelis are. They are supportive of the genocide and are completely brainwashed by their government. Every country has fucked up people. But to cherrypick some random article to somehow justify genocide is just manipulative and evil.

You're cherry-picking an individual in your example...

I mean, you're still right, but it's on accident.

80% of Israelis support the genocide.

Yeah I was aware when I wrote it that it could be seen as that. I have more examples. But this specific guy is highly intelligent and wasn't scared to say what he thought. Other Israelis I talked to don't deny any racism but instead steer the conversation away.

There are plenty of extra examples in the video attached to the article. Totally exemplary...
