Why do people hate Israel specifically?

I can understand the hatred for US politicians who consistently choose Israeli interests over and/or at the expense of the US.

But Israel is just playing the game needed to survive and prosper and they are damn good at it.

It’s hardly at the expense or damage on the level of a China. Not even close.

I have a lot of respect for them.

I’m indifferent towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but liberals hate Israel because they view Jews as white and Arabs as POC so therefore they’re going to side with Arabs.

People see it as a place that was “stolen”. Also, there’s some belief that Jews started communism and have been behind every destructive economic/political policy for 2000+ years which is why they’ve gotten the boot from nearly every other nation at some point in time.

Not saying it’s accurate or acceptable, but it’s not an uncommon stance.

There is a significant Israeli community in Myrtle Beach. They own the beachwear stores here and are the most difficult human beings in the world to deal with. Not a fan.

I've read this guy before who is interesting because he was like a former army ranger, he is basically socialist, but he hates neoliberalism and zionism. Anyway, he says a lot of this is about water and Israel always takes the good spots.

quote:

The greatest conflicts and crimes coming out of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, seldom mentioned by the press, have to do with water — Israelis taking it all for themselves and leaving the Palestinians literally high and dry. The land grabs, not dissimilar from those made by European settlers in North America a century and a half earlier, are all made at water points. The Syrian Civil War began with a drought that drove a million farmers into the cities where social services were already being dismantled, and that extra million in urban centers overloaded the infrastructure and threw the country into crisis.

LINK

quote:

For Israel, the water question was the key to the land question. And expansion has always been the goal. The headwaters of the Jordan River are in Israel, Lebanon, and Syria. Aside from the West Bank's underground aquifer, the Jordan - which pools twice in Lake Tiberius and the Dead Sea - constitutes the primary water source for the whole region.
Israel and the US claim the occupation of the annexed Golan Heights of Syria is a military necessity, but this is a key headwater for the Jordan as well.

Israel irrigates the Negev desert for agriculture with so much Lake Tiberius water that very little flows downstream past the Palestinian Bantustans. Israel has since 1967 forbidden Palestinians access to the Lower Jordan, where the Israelis have emplaced illegal settlements.

quote:

Israel has closed and destroyed hundreds of Palestinian wells since 1967, and has allowed fewer than 20 new wells to be constructed to replace them. There have been volumes written on the water issue, but nothing of this issue ever seems to surface in the American press, which I will expound in a moment.

Simply review the map below, and it becomes glaringly apparent that the Israeli grab for land is also a grab for water. The blue-green, blue, and black areas are areas under the control of Israeli settlers and the military. One can quickly discern how Palestinians are being forced to higher and higher, less moist and less arable land, while the illegal settlements take the prettiest pieces for themselves.

They’ve corrupted the policy making apparatus in DC, through bribes and blackmail (See Epstein).

We end up doing what they want in the Middle East, even when it hurts our own interests.

The Israel haters are people who hate Jews and believe that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is true.
