I have seen plenty of strongly anti-Palestinian remarks and unconditional, doctrine-like support for Israel.

What do you think of this quote?

He confesses that Israel exists because of the genocide and expulsion of Palestinians. For a video, view here and let me know what you think of the passion behind his remarks.

I'm curious to hear from those who have a hatred of the Palestinians being destroyed by Israel what their justification to support this evil. And if you're someone who doesn't care, why don't you care? Do you believe in "Human Rights?"

You don't have to hate Palestinians to support Israel. History -- largely as manipulated by British imperialists who made incompatible promises to both peoples -- has pitted Israeli Jews and Palestinians against each other, but it doesn't have to be that way.

I support Israel as the largest most vibrant Jewish collective in the world -- something that was desperately needed after centuries of antisemitism and especially after the holocaust. I abhor the kind of hatred that this guy in the video represents. Therefore my financial support for Israel takes the form of donations to organizations there that are working for justice for the Palestinians, and in general for stronger democracy and human rights.
