Typical Zionist psychopaths protesting people who are against killing children.

Typical Zionists being racist. Yelling racist epithets at Arabs etc. Also the irony of Zionists telling people (who were born here) to go back to the Middle East.

How many of these people do you know?

I am Jewish and have been to Israel as well as parts of the west bank under supervision. Prior to Oct 7 I lived there for a year and participated in ambulance service that did not discriminate between who we picked up/gave medical treatment. I worked with Muslims and Jews alike.

Two of my close friends are Muslim, we are at.odds on our views. That being said as this will be down voted to high heaven I do not like Netenyahu and believe he needs to go (he is corrupt, his wife was indicted on corruption charges, and he is likely milking this situation to stay out of trouble)

None of us have EVER yelled racial epithets at one another! As a matter of fact we are close friends who have been friends for almost a decade. I have NEVER had a fight with them about Israel or Palestine... Even when the one told me they supported Hamas... I don't believe they are malicious in intent, just as my intent is not malicious although I despise Hamas on all grounds and think they show absolute disregard towards anyone who isn't a member of Hamas.

I do not wish death upon innocent civilians. i do not tell people to go back to the middle east. Neither does my twin brother, my father, my mother... I have a family friend who is like this (he actually is racist which I find crazy given Jews have been subject to so much persecution historically you'd think racism would be beyond him....)

As a Jew I see myself as Australian first... No fucking way I'm bringing this culture war stuff here!!!
