Israeli is a nationality not the faith of Judaism. I’m criticizing citizens (which practice a variety of faiths) of a genocidal apartheid state that’s killed tens of thousands of Muslims.
Last year alone Israel killed 290 innocent Palestinians[1] which meets the definition of genocide. https://www.timesofisrael.com/btselem-israel-killed-290-palestinians-in-2018-most-of-them-innocents/ Why should it exist? It’s a stolen land in violation of international law. Would it be ok for me to come steal your home and then imprison or murder your family? This is how Israel came to exist through imprisonment and murder of the Palestinians that lived on the land Israel now occupies.
