    I have never said that, but targeting random Palestinians who don’t have anything to do with the events from the 7th of October also is not okay but I don’t see you condemning them?

    My point only is that I am showing you how people from different parts of the world aren’t so different after all. They are all irrationally generalising people and holding them accountable for the wrongdoings of other people from the same ethnicity.

    And my point is this surge of hatred is fuelled by a war offensive which a lot of people find too extreme and disproportionate in its nature bordering ethnic cleansing.

    So I don’t think you, me or anyone in the world could change the human prejudices and their irrational tendencies of generalising people so the only other solution of the problem is the Israelian government to start treating its minorities respectfully, but I don’t see this happening either.

      This article isn’t about Israel or Israelis or the war is Israel. This article is about Jews in other parts of the world being attacked for being Jewish. Damn, people just can’t talk about Jews without derailing the conversation.
