The iron dome didn't protect them on October 7th. It didn't protect them completely today. I have friends that grew up there with the reality of seeking out bomb shelters constantly. Without, they'd be glassed by now. I agree they probably feel emboldened, but not without good reason. Should we compare surrounding regimes on the amount of internationally recognized terrorists in positions of dictatorship? At least Israeli citizens have some level of recourse if they're dissatisfied. I think all individuals deserve the same level of self determination, along with Palestinians, Iranians, etc.
I know there's nuance in how Israel and the US have played roles actively discouraging or even overthrowing democratic regimes, but I want to be careful not to take accountability away from each individual that has contributed to the suffering of innocent people. Abuse always has precursors.
so what are a few dead Jews to the fascist government of Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir? you need to break a few eggs to make an omelet, after all, but the iron dome works well enough, it protects them from the majority of reprisal as they commit "genocide within genocide", and that's what matters. Fact is, this fascist government was voted in by the people and still enjoys a lot of support for their strongman murder and oppression of the peoples not of god's chosen Master Race.
i like how the entire argumentative basis of this comment relies upon two words, genocide, and fascism.
