As a Jew and I don't think that is true at all and feel it is a bit of a dangerous characterization. Jews have just as much scruples as any other groups.
What I do think is true is that Jews have more fear of others based on past treatment and even a lot of current rhetoric and may justify actions as necessary for safety.
We do also happen to be a very small group of people. For instance, Palestinians have 1 billion Muslims supporting them.
That said, I happen to think that these unscrupulous policies will actually cause more harm than good.

- ahhhhnoooo 6mo agoYou are thinking narrowly if you think the only way Israel can exist is as a zionist state. Zionism is one example way Israel can exist, but it is not the exclusive way. One can be against ethnonationalism and not anti-Isreal as a state where Jewish people are safe and free.
- srean 6mo agoA non-apartheid, secular, constitutional democracy would be a welcome change. I don't see it happening though. About half of Israel is very strongly invested in the opposite.

- amunozo 6mo agoThank you for this nuanced position,. I understand what you're saying totally, as I perceive it like that, too, being non-Jewish. However, as you stated, the recent acts of Israel's current government are not only horrendous and cruel, but I think are also causing a lot of harm to Israel itself, alienating its allies and creating a permanent state of war that Israel cannot survive on its own. It's idiotic thinking that everything will be fine if the Iranian regime falls. Permanent war is a brittle and dangerous position for everybody involved.
