Why of course? How do you really feel about a culture or community when you have no expectation that they behave in a civilized manner?

Some real gigabrain reverse racism thought experiments in here today.
Israel is expected to act differently for the simple reason that they are the oppressor, and they are exceptionally rich and insanely well equipped from being funnelled money and arms from the US hand over fist for 70 years.
Framing it as though it's about religion and not the wartime equivalent of a 30 year old man beating up a 6 year old they keep in a cage is some weird circle jerking by you guys.
