A base level of restraint would be fucking fantastic. Israel has killed more journalists in the past 10 weeks than ANYONE has EVER killed in a whole year. They dropped more bombs in a single week than America dropped in an entire year fighting ISIS, and in an area the size of a city. Calling it self defense is whitewashing intentional genocide.

The whole 'why is Israel singled out?' is just Israel's main PR and main excuse for genocide. I find it hard to take anyone seriously when they make such a claim. You can tell them all these facts and they'll pull out of their ass some other country with a shitty history and say, "OMG why are you holding us Israelis at a different standard?" as if we all forgot how it was after 9/11, how people protested the Iraq War, how no one justifies what Americans did to the natives... These people live in their own reality where everything is skewed and malformed to allow them to live in peace knowing too well they are committing ethnic cleansing and genocide.

I really applaud all the Israelis who refuse to serve in the IDF and who see it for what it is.
