> I'm sorry but the majority party in the Israeli government is unquestionably motivated by racism. [...] The Israeli government is unabashedly engaged in a racially motivated genocide, Let's put aside whether or not someone agrees with labeling it a genocide. I believe you're applying the lens of racism here that is imported from Western countries and doesn't really fit. I think you're actually flipping the causal arrows here - the war motivates the racism, not the racism motivating the war. Palestinians are in many respects a different state that is at semi-war with Israel. The Gaza strip is ruled by Hamas which launched a war against Israel and is, by their own words, planning on continuing the war until Israel is destroyed. Stopping Israel from being destroyed is the motivation in attacking them back, and a completely legit and understandable motivation at that. (Whether the way Israel is behaving is legitimate or not is a separate question!) To make an obvious analogy - In WW2, the US was fighting Japan. There was also racism directed towards the Japanese (including literally putting Japanese citizens in camps!). But that doesn't mean the US's war against Japan was motivated by racism - quite the opposite. The racism was motivated by the war, which was motivated by Japan's desire to grow their empire.
