Who are these “Israel haters” on HN you’re referring to?

There are plenty of us on HN who believe in the Israeli peoples’ human rights just as seriously as we support those of the children of Gaza, too.

Those of us who actually care about civilized society, human rights, and international law also consider that there are plenty of Israeli citizens who are, themselves, victims of their own states acts of terrorism as well.

You are responsible for the crimes of your state, citizen. No amount of chicken-waving is going to absolve you of that fact.

The point of discussing the heinous nature of the pager attack is to prevent the precedent set by that attack from taking further victims.

It is not in the interests of Israeli citizens to have their war-crime committing state subjugate their societies’ commercial institutions to commit further atrocities.
