I don't like Netanyahu's extremist policies either.

Referring to "Zionists" as 'Nazis' is nevertheless antisemitic. Zionism is simply the belief in the right of self-determination of the Jewish people to a state of Israel in their historic homeland. It was created through international law by partition, just as many others were, but is unique in having its right to exist questioned.

If you don't like the people in charge, that's fine. That's not anti-Zionist. Claiming that Israel has no right to exist, that it should be destroyed and the Jews either dispersed or killed (by one means or another; this is also the inevitable outcome of a one-state 'solution'), is antisemitic.

    Ah. Yeah, unfortunately the same is about to happen to the Gazans because of their choice to elect Hamas. There's going to need to be a comprehensive process of Denazification there, as well as a Marshall Plan to rebuild the strip.

    In a normal war, about 90% of all deaths are civilians, according to the UN last year.

    The number of civilian deaths in Gaza is at maximum 60%, but likely significantly lower given Hamas tend to overcount and also methodologically don't distinguish between civilians and Hamas terrorists, of which the IDF claim to have killed more than 8,000.

    It's not a genocide. Glad to clear that up for you.
