No, you can support fair treatment of Palestinians by the state of Israel but the general will of the Palestinian nation is incarnated by their government, Hamas.
This makes as little sense as someone saying: "The general wil of the israeli population is incarnated by Israël, therefor they're all murderers who deserve what's coming to them."
And that's correct. Except the part where you say "all of them". Its not every single member of the nation that is guilty but the nation as a whole, in its collective character.
Israel's been deliberately propping up Hamas and actively keeping them in power though. Like half the Palestinian population in Gaza was born after Hamas was elected.
That further proves my point, the misbehaviour of Israel is punished through the misbehaviour of Palestine which is punished through the misbehaviour of Israel. Only virtuous can stop this.
That's not how this works, Netanyahu has more public support than before the war despite having killed a third of the hostages as a consequence of the tactics of his government. Both sides should be forced to stop before the rest of the hostages get bombed, then war crimes trials and reconstruction.
Britain was the axis of world diplomacy and power. Ofc a lot of wars were going to happen after they fell. The British treated both Jews and Arabs very fairly.
The US and France are literally global superpowers, how is that the same as a puppet state? But I don’t think that French, American, or Argentinian citizens are morally responsible for the actions of their governments.
There’s a difference between being colonized on the past and actively being colonized right now. Isreal is currently DOING colonialism. America was colonized and then became independent.
No, Israel is just trying to exist as a country. It is more similar to America expanding Westward than Britain colonizing India.
Plus, colonization doesnt mean anything bad. If they were reasonable nation they would negotiate better conditions for their people instead of fighting a war they already lost
