Yep, Israel is not Jews, and Jews are not Israel.
Beyond that even: not all Israelis share the way of thinking of the Government of Israel.
Plenty of decent people even in a country which has for decades been heavy in nationalism, delusions of inherent racial superiority and generally Zionist indoctrination.
They're probably the minority rather than the majority though.
I also do not view Israel as Israelis, or Israelis as Israel. Just like most of the US hates BOTH Biden and Trump, yet those are our options.
Incorrect. They're settlers participating in the genocidal occupation of land that belongs to a sovereign people. This makes it impossible for them to be 'decent'. There are no 'civilians' among Israel's number.
