    Because Israel is, despite everything else, still an actual fair democracy. The people of Israel voted for their leaders, and continue to support them. Hamas last had an election in what, 2006? And we have no idea if they support Hamas, there hasn’t exactly been an abundance of reputable polling done in Gaza lately.

    That gotcha kind of fell flat, didnt it

      I don’t think they were going for a gotcha.

      I think they were trying to bring more awareness into play about blaming the government for what the government is doing, especially when we can all see all the protest that a lot of Israelis are doing.

      Like you can not in any way group the “Not in My Name” and Bring Them Home crowds with the Likud crowd.
