    Hi, I’m a Jew. I also absolutely hate Netanyahu and the entire disgusting coalition of Likud, Tkuma, Otzma Yehudit and all their Kahanist allies.

    It’s not anti-semitic to hate the government of the state of Israel, as much as they might like to pretend that the terms are synonymous.

        Yes and yes, imho. The only humane way forward is an end to the killing on both sides and a diplomatic solution. Whether that’s a one, two or five state solution doesn’t matter to me, that’s up to the people negotiating.

        That diplomacy and negotiation feels a very long way away at the moment though.

      What does this have to do with his comment comparing Israel to Nazis and Netanyahu to Hitler?

        Honest question: as the Nazis were an explicitly Christian group, does hating the Nazi ideology make you anti-Christian?

        Not all Germans (probably not even most) supported the National Socialists, but when the ones that didn’t were too cowardly to fight them getting into power, they all get painted with the same brush in the end. Germany as a whole was making reparations for WW2, and the civilian population bore it’s own level of blame for letting that happen in their country.
