    I’m surprised after the holocaust that the government has the fucking nerve to inflict the same type of treatment on others.

    On this, I’m with you. It’s so ironic it’s absolutely wild and disappointing and depressing.

    I hope everyone realizes that most of Israel is against the government and what they are doing.

    Regarding this, it’s very difficult to “realize” when most of the media portrays the Israelis as super racist scumbags. I can’t believe some of the things they are shouting at each other (both sides actually but especially the Israelis), and especially considering the other thing you mentioned regarding their history during WWII, and prior. The media (social and otherwise) is showing us video evidence of widespread racism against the Palestinians, all the way from the country leaders (on both sides, granted). It’s hard to deny having seen those images. But it’s also hard to judge how selective the reporting is.

    I, for one, have not “realized”, because I can never have the data necessary.
