As an example, in the USA where I live.

I don’t support racists who use their first amendment protections from the USA constitution to say dumb, stupid shit.

But I also don’t support killing them.

Please don’t support murder of civilians, even if they are dumb, racist, antisemitic, mother fuckers (as the Israeli settlers are in the West Bank).

I do feel your sentiments though. Israeli civilians are not looking their best on the world stage at the moment.

If you need someone to direct your ire at, look to politicians who support the Israeli government you can work to vote out of office.

You fundamentally misunderstand Israel. It's a settler colonial expansionist state. Every individual who, after witnessing the genocide over the past 3 years, hasn't yet left, is an occupier.

The end goal isn't reforming Israel, it's the complete dismantling of the state so the land can be returned to its rightful people: the Palestinians.

To that end, there's going to be no "let's make sure Israeli feelings aren't hurt". This is war. Palestinians have been living under it for a century. There's no place for pearl clutching
