Aral Balkan (npub1nk5…mz64) David Koff (he/him) (npub1guq…4g87) jburd (npub1d7f…qtgc) Except the post says "Israel—a terrorist state". The state. Of Israel. People are not the state in which they dwell. People are not their government. These are not difficult concepts to grasp. Insisting that the two are synonymous indicates either a very poor understanding of how power is exercised even in so-called democracies at best, or an intentional conflation in an attempt to further a political agenda at worst.
