Israeli gov't formally honors #Rabbi as “the spirit of the nation," a man accused by many of #Gaza #warcrimes, oft seen in viral videos blowing a shofar while razing homes of arabs and praying for military to "flatten Gaza".

He has bragged of bulldozing 50 homes a week, hailed the casualties inflicted by #Israel as 'tens of thousands of dead who were eaten by the dogs', and his name #Zarbiv, has become a colloquial euphemism meaning to "flatten" or "obliterate".

Why is it when you talk about actions of the US Federal government, you mention Trump by name, but when it's an action by the Israeli government, you say "Israel".

🤔

You are free to interpret posts as you wish. I'm not sure I understand your context, as I rarely use the T word in my personally written posts. I think there's been one in the most recent months in which the US Prez name was actually spelled out. Many posts I will use nicknames and initials for US leader, and oft turn surnames or nickname into a hashtag. Do what thou wilt with that.

You treat US policy as belonging to one man, thus abdicating responsibility of that policy to the country and or treating the country as having a multitude of views and opinions.

You don't do the same with Israel, where instead of identifying individual politicians even political parties, you posted on Israeli independence day a post that pained all of "Israel" as being responsible.

It's problematic either way but I'm curious if your bias is invisible to you or deliberate.

hey... sorry you are on a quest of which I likely cannot help you,... I have no religion to adhere to or offer you as a superior solace...but feel free to blame me for your personal interpretations of current events.

So you're a non-religious racist? Got it!
