Comment on She's just defending her country

I don’t think anyone hates all Israelis. Those who refuse to collaborate with the IDF should be respected. And there are many incredibly brave Israelis who work as journalists, lawyers, etc. to help the Palestinian people.
The people that I know served in the IDF because it was the path of least resistance, and they played in the marching band or did graphic design.
Understandable on an individual level, but their silence enables Israel to continue the genocide.

OKay two things: 1)People in this very thread were wishing death upon Bernie Sanders, one of the most decent upstanding people to ever walk this earth. I don’t know what kind of mythical politician they want. Mamdani? AOC? They’re all doing the best with the DSA and what they have.
2)You are claiming that people who served in the IDF in noncombatant roles are still responsible for war crimes because they enable others to fill those roles. Then am I complicit in war crimes because I didn’t become a cop or go into the military? Doesn’t that mean there’s an empty spot for someone else?

I’m not Usian. I think Sanders and Mamdani are decent based on what I’ve heard, but I don’t know a lot about them.
No, I’m saying they have some responsibility for the war crimes because they didn’t do anything to stop it.
You aren’t Israeli. So as long as you aren’t selling them weapons or funding them, you aren’t complicit.

I’d say he is complicit given how much pleasure he clearly derives from Israel’s genocide.
