I don't understand why the Israeli government (and apologists overseas) are trying so hard to make the actions of the IDF in Gaza (and soon the repeat in the West Bank) synonymous with Judaism.

It seems extremely short sighted, and likely to have pretty negative consequences for the diaspora.

Zionists want people to equate Jews with war crimes because they are the actual Anti-semites.

Every accusation is a confession.
