    All of them?

    Pretty sure 99% of those I’ve heard say “Death to Israel”, mean the end of the political entity, not the people.

      Then specify.

      Since death to israel can mean death to the people, or death to the political entity. If someone is genuine that they’re okay with Israel and Israeli civilians existing, then just add ‘Death to the Israeli government’

      super easy, clears up any confusion or potential dogwhistles.

        Yep.

        It’s not a phrase I use, because of that dangerous ambiguity. [And because that’s not necessarily a solution either.]

        …Especially considering how psyop’d and terrorised Israelis, especially the Israeli Jewish population, already are. That fire needs less fuel, not more.

        Best not fumble our way into exacerbating the danger with accidental crying ourselves wolves, when there are real wolves both among them and against them.

          Because of the historic context. Antisemites have always used Israel as a dogwhistle to mean Jews.

          Specifying clears that up

      On .ml most of those who were saying they don’t support genocide are now calling for genocide because of Iran. Stop trying to twist my words.

        I twisted nothing.

        You’re moving the goal posts.

        The same people who claimed “Death to Israel” wasn’t a call for genocide last week, are now calling for genocide against Israel openly.

        I hope, somehow israel gets absolutely glassed over all this bullshit

        did not mention anything of the .ml and other stuff you’re adding here:

        If you can’t say what you mean, you can’t mean what you say. ;D I wonder what yet may be revealed of what you mean.

        I wonder if you consider that any kind of refutation [to what I said] or retraction [of what you said], to have offered that. Seemed a mite "ego social-dominance"y and gaslighty and misdirectiony and deflectiony. n_n
