According to you, any post that in any way criticizes Israel's policies is hate. Do you not see how pathological that is? Does it seem probable that Israel has had a 57 year run where every single action the state has taken has been right, correct, and unquestionably moral?

The USA is also a democratic nation that follows the rule of law and actively promotes human rights. And yet there have been instances where America and its government has committed acts of unjustified violence and aggression. Same with every single democratic and "free" nation on the planet. Identifying and protesting against such actions is a moral duty, not hate.

If you want to debate the morality of causing collateral damage when fighting an enemy of the state, do so without ad hominem attacks on the motivations of those who disagree with you. It doesn't make you look like a rational person whose opinion should be carefully evaluated. It makes you look like some kind of wild-eyed loony with whom one should disagree just to not appear as crazy.
