Who is holding against an individual? I think it's obvious that when someone blames Israelis they don't literally mean every single Israeli. That's why I used the word "pedantic". Sure, in absolute terms what he said is correct but, at the same time, expecting that level of guarded language practically makes conversation impossible.

    The second-level comment is.

    "It's not okay to be Israeli" is a different statement than: Israelis are doing xyz and are bad for it.

    I do agree that in most cases this doesn't need to be specified, but "It's not okay to be Israeli" is a blanket statement against individuals.

    I suggest we stop talking further though, as it does not seem we disagree very much.
