    I’m one of the Israelis who frequently attended the anti-government protest.

    I expect you not to support the Israeli government, but to support the Israeli people’s right to defend ourselves from terrorists.

    Regardless of whether Israel has a right wing or left wing government, we will not allow thousands of us to be massacred.

    We won’t stand by and twiddling our thumbs waiting for the next Hamas attack to kill more of us without responding with our full force.

    None of this contradicts the fight to end the occupation. You can be anti-Hamas and anti-occupation at the same time.

    Nuance is possible!

      Then how about your government stop killing and abusing Palestinians. It’s almost as if decades of apartheid oppression, murder, and human rights abuses have consequences
