Reread that sentence three times. Memorise it. Internalise it.

I agree, the government has done such a disgracefully poor job on Palestine. They’ve literally thrown people in prison for daring to hold up a sign in support of Palestine. So I’m fully aware they’re willing to throw anyone under the bus.

That’s not the point, the point is that you aren’t going to be treated better than Palestinians just because you’re willing to throw Palestinians under the bus.

I wouldn’t want anyone thrown under the bus for the actions of someone else.
The Israeli government threw the Gazan population under the bus for the actions of the terrorists.
This motion is throwing “Zionists” (i.e. the Israeli population and the very existence of their country) under the bus for the actions of their government.

No, the Israeli government is committing genocide in order to seize Gaza for itself.
No. And most Zionists are not Israeli.
