You know the origin of the slogan is Palestinian? It's not some parody of Israeli nationalism. You might support a two state solution, but you're rubbing shoulders with people that want to cleanse the land jews.

If your reasoning holds and is relevant, it means that those who side with Israel are "rubbing shoulders with people that want to cleanse the land of the Palestinians". It's right in what you said, plus those people happen to be at the government, have a proper army, have the latest US-made weapons and jet fighters, not to mention nuclear weapons. So my point is: I think a very small minority of those who protest in favour of Palestine want to actually do what you claim; and even that minority doesn't have anywhere near the means of doing it. While on the other side, not only there is a majority (they have been democratically elected, after all!) that wants the same, but have all the means of doing it and they are doing it right now.

  They are not doing it. If Israel wanted to they could do far worse. They've killed an order of magnitude fewer people than they've dropped bombs because their main goal is to destroy Hamas infrastructure, not kill civilians. So no, Israel and Hamas' are not equivalent, despite whatever far-right politician's quote you bring up. Israel is far better morally, and in terms of real actions. Hamas are the ones that deliberately increase civilian deaths, and have reiterated from their inception, to yesterday, that their goal is to kill every jew. And no, your little slogan isn't cute when 51% of idiotic zoomers think what Hamas did is justified. It's less cute when you look at how Palestinians think about it. It's even less cute when you look at how every other Arab country in the region feels about it. We know from history how Arabs massacre their local jews every time they get embarrassed by Israel. There's no reason to think they're not serious in Palestine.
