Sure. But citing comments like yours is how you get an Israel aid package passed by the Congress. (I didn’t lobby on it, but I did on Ukraine, and showing that there are people who support horrible means for their end is a good way to deplete marginal support for that end.)

…why would I want aid for Israel to pass? I don’t want zionism to run a nation state, and for people of all faiths to be .. not under the yoke of apartheid or genocide.

I guess I just don’t understand - why it’s ok to criticize “one side’s” tactic and not the other when one of the sides is killing by the thousands, while claiming to be “mowing the lawn.”

You probably don’t.

One of the best assets for people trying to bring down a hammer on Israel are its right-wing politicians explicitly calling for bombing civilians and annexing Gaza. You generally want extremists on the other side to voice support for unpopular things.

I don’t.
