It's like saying criticism of what Trump does is anti-American.
The actions of the government of Israel are despicable, and must be called out as such.
Otherwise you're just rubber stamping the carnage in Gaza, and Lebanon.
Over the decades I've had many Jewish and Arab friends. It's not the people, it's the people in power who are doing this.
Living in the United States, I can see how a well organized minority with no ethics or honor, but plenty of money can take over a government and use their power to do despicable things.
Right now I'm not seeing much difference between Netanyahu and Trump. Both have used their control of government in ways that are the antithesis of what their countries believe in.
I will continue to call them out for what they are...evil people who don't mind committing acts of murder and mayhem to suit their purposes.
