    This is a disgusting attempt to excuse terrorism and victim-blame innocent hostages.

      Innocent? She served in the IDF

      They’re both terrorists. And I have sympathy for neither.

        Military service is compulsory in Israel. You might as well call all Vietnam veterans terrorists and revel in their capture. Absolutely sickening take.

          You can take the 30 days in prison instead, and many do. If you know that military service involves being an occupying force (as opposed to just dicking around with guns like in other countries), the moral choice is to do the 30 days.

          I have so much more respect for anyone who burned their draft card than anyone who has ever served in any military in human history.

            Congrats on that smug sense of superiority. Maybe this is not the place for it.

              Lol excellent point. I’m glad you sensed the inherent superiority of my position. But I’ll go ahead and spew anti fascism anywhere I like thanks.

                Spew all you like but remember who defends your right to do it.
