      I have family in Israel and have been there several times. I liked it there. I liked how all the signs were trilingual and the food was excessively good. I don’t however approve of the Israeli government or how they’ve gone about this conflict.

      Does this make me a bad person in other peoples eyes?

        Timing matters. I have family in Austria. I like a lot of things about Austria and I also don’t approve of a lot of things the government does and did.

        If someone were to have voiced that sentiment loudly in 1942, they’d probably be an asshole.

          So from your definition, me having family there and having some positive sentiment about some things I experienced there quantifies me as an asshole.

          I find the prejudgment interesting. I used to only get this from right wingers for being Jewish but now I get it from both ends haha. Take care!

            Your post completely ignore my first and main sentence.

            It’s the timing that makes you an asshole, not your sentiment.

            Israel is currently engaging in genocide. I know it. The UN knows it. Dogs know it.

              Good… good . Fight about another country. Split apart. The imperfect are unclean. Give no quarter.

              The left will never unify and the right will win.
