And you "always had the option" of being culturally sensitive @skisnow I gather that "death to" comes about in translation to English from Arabic/Islamic cultures.A state or organisation is not alive. It can't "die". The "death" therefore must be figurative. "Death to America" is not the same as "Death to Americans", for example. "Death to Israel" and "Death to the IDF" are not calls to harm a living being.mondoweiss.net/2023/11/are-isr@pete_link @AlHouthi4President @buddascrayon @gallopingsnail @palestine@a.gup.pe @palestine@lemmy.ml #CrimesAgainstHumanity #genocide #Palestine #Israel #Gaza

!["Anyone wishing to understand how the Holocaust was possible, how people who may be warm and kind in their personal lives could support the murder of an entire population deemed subhuman, should examine Israeli society."

"... the zionist project, culminating in Israel, is profoundly contrary to Jewish traditions ... Israel has suppressed these Jewish traditions and ways of living while hijacking parts of them when convenient."

"... the dismantling of Israel and the liberation of Palestine must also be a Jewish struggle — a struggle that should go far beyond Jews showing solidarity for Palestinians or simply not wanting to be oppressors. “Israeli” is a colonial identity that should be renounced, not just because it harms Palestinians but also because it is deeply anti-Jewish." — Yarden Katz](https://cdn.theblower.au/media_attachments/files/114/883/507/897/828/242/original/ed3b650bfe7c3d89.png)
