- wallace_f 10y agoCriticizing Trump = 'people are allowed to have political positions;' criticizing Israel = 'people should get banned for gimmick/troll accounts.' I don't have some opinion about Israel in which it is one of the worst countries in the world; they have clearly done good for their own people and for others, and have a vibrant economy and technology. However, just as our ability to criticize our own government, or governments in Europe or Asia, increases well-being for citizens of the world, so too should we be allowed to criticize Israel. Nobody is perfect and equating any criticism with thought crimes needs to stop.
