So many #Israeli's are now whinging that their contestant not winning #Eurovision is antisemitic and the loss purely is due to prejudice.

No. Don't go there. That's weak.

The world blames your govt for the genocide the IDF is committing. Not you.

Being pro-Palestinian or anti-war or even anti-genocide DOES NOT equate to being antisemitic.

We don't blame Israeli's personally. We know you are not doing it, unless you are IDF yourself.

We stand with you against your government. Vote them out.

@ami I don't like the complete separation of population and government which is often depicted.
It oversimplifies the relationship between government and population.

There is not many states in which government does something and everyone else hates on the government and is rebelling against it.
If that was the case the government would have fell already.

@rastinza
On one hand we do sanction governments with the goal that the ramifications of the sanctions hopefully result in a disgruntled public who vote them out.

On the other hand.. voting often doesn't change much. The Israeli population did vote for naziyahu in, but they didn't vote for the war.
Much of the population has been turning on him.

Plenty are against it, plenty are for it.

Just like we can't blame the US population for sending weapons to Israel either.

@ami I don't know about blaming, but I would consider an American citizen a bit more responsible for an action taken by the American government than an Argentinian citizen.

This does not mean that people are directly responsible for actions taken by the government, nor that they all support it.
