    When every single person in your country is required to be a soldier when they turn 18,

    Just because the state violently forces people to do awful things that doesn’t absolve the state from being awful. There are many people who resist. I know some. They’ve had to flee the state because the state and the society are so oppressive of decent people. It’s really gross to ignore the sacrifices of these brave people.

      I have made it clear again and again that Israel as a state is not absolved.

      Now you are dishonestly implying that I have not.

      I see no reason to continue a conversation with someone who makes such a disgusting implication of me.
