Do you hate Netanjahu and the Israeli people that protest against him equally?
i hate genocidal states
Considering the vast majority who are protesting against him are doing it for reasons other than seeing Palestinians as people deserving of equal rights. Yes, for most of them.
They're all colonizers, they're just arguing over the best way to colonize. The enemy of my enemy is a useful ally, not a friend.
The enemy of my enemy, is my enemy's enemy, nothing more nothing less.
Another enemy might serve as a temporary distraction but not much is going to stop Israel (the govt and country) from trying to continue what they started before the 1900s, the mass expulsion or eradication of the native population of a country they had no right to. They might have tried to slowly immigrate there over generations but that would not satisfy the Zionists that wanted to take minority ethnic control of a majority Muslim land.
"They're all..."
All credibility lost.
Well... "They're all" is kinda rhetorical shorthand, but the vast, vast majority of Israeli citizens are colonizers definitionally, just like how "all" north Americans are colonizers (obviously except indigenous people). The difference is that the USA/Canadian settler colonial projects have already """succeeded""".
I hate their whole fascist society for committing genocide
What, all 5 of them?
I've never heard of a single, significant Israeli protest against the genocide. If anyone else has, please link it.
There were literally 10s of thousands marching in tel Aviv. Israel, just like every other place on earth, is not a homogenous blob.
Here's a source from al Jazeera. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/22/all-of-the-rats-in-the-knesset-mass-anti-war-protest-in-israel
Another from 6 months ago, NPR this time. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/19/1225651180/israel-tel-aviv-protest-gaza-war
Problem is they're not protesting for an end to west bank settlements, or a meaningful negotiation with Palestine that creates a viable Palestinian state with right to return, or an end to the Gaza embargo, or even a curbing of settler violence, house demolition or the like.
All these things are not part of the discussion in Israel.
Mostly they're protesting against the utter and complete disregard Netenyahu has for the lives and well-being of the hostages.
And of course
Really embracing the national socialism huh?
All you fascists belong in the same pit, nazi
