What’s the vibe in there? Cause I don’t like the idea of punishing regular civilians for the government’s actions, so I’m not a fan of this decision. But I’m not gonna come in here and say something like “omg why though, Israel’s the victim!!!1”

Israel doesn't have regular citizens because of their national draft. Just complicit people, settlers, and people who don't have to serve because Israel is racist.

Hey now, don't forget about draft dodgers

I would support those people getting individual exceptions. Also the people who are excluded from the draft because of the racism.

Maybe it would be easier for me to say that I just think everybody who ever served in the IDF should be banned from other countries.

What about the settlers that use aliyah?

Any settler that leaves Israel should be arrested by any civilized country. Treat them the same as terrorists.

Im referring to aliyah which enables any jewish person to claim citizenship and housing in israel.

Are they settlers? Then they aren't in Israel and they should be considered international criminals.

I don't think you understand my point. Im talking about aliyah. It's a process that enables any jewish person born/converted to claim citizenship and housing in occupied palestine (israel). Some of them hold dual citizenships and live in their native places. How is this even legal? Aren't the citizens to blame for exploiting knowing damn well they are occupied land.

Wow, what an incredibly bad take. Kudos, I’m genuinely impressed

I think it's a bad take to pretend that people who served in the military and can still be called up for service are regular civilians. Or civilians whatsoever really.

so no Israeli draft-dodgers are allowed in the Maldives.
