the current administration and set up of israeli society, absolutely.
it is amusing to me, though, that you're willing to quickly forgive and forget the atrocities committed in the name of white settler-colonialism, or european empire, or mass slavery, or genocidal race supremacism, within the space of 50 years ... but israel is for you a timeless cosmic enemy, forever and ever.
(and no, i am not suggesting we quickly 'move on' from the genocide in gaza; my point is that you reach for these essentialising, ahistorical claims about the absolute evil of israel, flattening the last 2500 years of history into a flat circle, but you're quick to brush things under the carpet or to draw clear temporal divisions when it comes to your own collective history.)
