Robert Kraft should sell the team and buy a soccer team in israel where he can actually be patriotic instead of pretending to do so for America while propping up a terrorist state.
Fun fact, all Israelis are required to take part in their genocidal military. So they are all military targets. Just like they say about the babies they kill. Those Israeli students will one day be in the Idf, so free reign right? Let’s be consistent.
Did you miss a "/s" there?
I get that you're trying to mimic the rhetoric used by far right Israeli politicians, but doing so for real makes you no better than them. In that case the only redeeming aspect is your lack of action. Using this language sarcastically is, IMO, misguided and dangerous as it will make other people believe, that it's an acceptable stance. It is not an acceptable stance.
You're advocating for the killing of innocent children, because their parents are advocating for the killing of other children. Please say that we have moved on from that eye for an eye bs.
I don’t know what you’re going off about. Nobody is threatening innocent people.
I’m talking about guaranteed idf soldiers. They are by the law they choose to follow, required to take part in the terrorism. I’m not talking about innocent people, I’m talking about people that are or in training to be part of the terrorist group attacking innocent women and children in their homes.
Everyone should include all involved with day to day operations, logistics and anything in the backend as an addressable target as they are a very tangible part of the war machine currently being sicced on a bunch of innocent children which happen to be somebodies family.
You’re moral stance is literally dripping with privilege.
Not wanting to get banned I've edited my response. Don't bother responding from the same account, I won't be seeing it.
You do know that no nation is a monolith right?
There's Israeli people who hate the genocide just as much as you do and are trying to stop it but against insurmountable odds

Sure. And there's the Klansman who has black friends. There's the ICE agent who wants immigration reform. There's the Jewish Nazi.
On 21 December 2023, activists attempted to block the Kerem Shalom border crossing to prevent humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip.
On 28 October, a mob of far right Israelis gathered at Netanya Academic College chanting “death to Arabs” at Palestinian students living in the campus dormitories who they claimed had thrown eggs on Jewish girls.
In January 2024, a video of IDF reservists protesting while on active duty went viral, showing the soldiers displaying a banner on their armored vehicles criticizing the government for not attacking Gaza with more intensity
In July 2024, far right Israeli protestors stormed military bases in support of soldiers who were arrested for allegedly sexually abusing detainees at the Sde Teiman detention camp.

As an American you really don't want to be painting all peoples of a nation one colour based on their extremists
I can't imagine a better nation to describe the Israelis
And you ignored the anti-war protests part of the link?
The anti-war protesters didn't have the widespread support of the Israeli people. They don't have representatives in Parliament or the Netanyahu Cabinet. They aren't the ones regularly lionized in Israeli media.
I think OP is simply pointing out that the rhetoric the Israeli state uses with regard to Palestinian civilians and Hamas applies equally well (if not more so) to Israeli civilians and the Israeli state. Not necessarily endorsing it.
Nah, their reply makes it clear they're not
