The state Israel and the Israeli government are not the same.
Please be more specific about what you are referring to. I haven't seen any commenty of TanteRegenbogen defending that.
I delete your comment since your account is 2 hours old and we had to deal with another sock puppet in this thread already. And we need no 100x times repeated Goodwin's Law here.
However when you support their government militarily and diplomatically, you support their ethnic cleansing.
Regarding your last point, it is clear that that Germany finds certain speech so offensive that the people saying it should be jettisoned from the county. Yet Germany lends significant support to a state whose behaviour is literally deadly. To take issue with the former while supporting (or even ignoring) the latter is pure hypocrisy.
I guess you've read my more specifc comment and will do your best to do what I asked you for.
We are simply asking you to differentiate between the Israeli state and the Israeli government. It is absolutely okay in Germany to be against Netanyahu/Likud/Otzma/the current ruling government of Israel. But the issue is that you generalize Israel as a whole which includes it's people. No one here is against Palestine. People here are against Hamas, but it seems even being against Hamas gets people downvoted in this thread, which is not okay.
Thank you.
