  • As far as I can tell when she served she only helped train the troops who were committing the war crimes on-the-ground.

    She’s also been steadfast in her support for Israel, promoting the propaganda about the mass systematic rapes by Hamas on Oct 7th which no evidence of has come to light in over a year. While also having nothing to say about the systemic torture and rapes of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, which include the torture and sexual assault of Palestinian children, and silence about the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. She served the IDF for 2 years and is still a steadfast supporter. That shows she is aware of the war crimes the IDF commits and supports them. Otherwise she would be on Breaking the Silence.

    Her going on actual raids in Lebanon or piloting the bombs or air strikes is not a requirement for people to boycott or Lebanon to ban the movie.

    If people in the 1930-40s boycotted a movie featuring a soldier that served in Nazi Germany (because of the acts of Nazi Germany), despite that soldier not seeing action, that would be just as justified. Especially if that soldier still supported Nazi Germany.

    I could much more easily call Israel a terrorist state, and by looking at cases of actual acts of terror, it’s clear that Israel does magnitudes more. But while acknowledging acts of terrorism is important, giving the label of terrorist to an entire group is not really useful. It’s mostly use to de-legitimize acts of resistance against colonialism and occupations. Such is the case with Ireland, Vietnam, Algeria, South Africa, and many more.

    Both the Occupier and the Occupied can and do use acts of terrorism to further their aims, but the aims are diametrically opposed. The aim of the occupier is to continue the occupation, that requires violence to maintain, and ethnic cleansing. The aim of the occupied is to end the occupation, by any means possible, and gain emancipation. We see that one is a reaction to the other, Israel’s perpetual violence towards native peoples is the underlying cause of these conflicts. Solutions to ending the violence of anti-colonialism can only come from ending the underlying violence of the colonialism.

    We see that permanent occupation develops into an Apartheid, as the settlers / occupiers have rights upheld by the State and Military, while the natives / occupied have no rights and subjected to violence from both the Settlers and Military. The State, who holds the monopoly on power, uses terrorism to suppress resistance to the occupation in order to maintain it. The occupied, having no power, uses terrorism as a means to resist the occupation.

    Israel has no interest in peace, it has interest in land grabbing, which is in complete opposition to peace. This is fundamental to Zionism. Which is why an end to Zionism and a regime change, where a Secular Bi-National One-State that gives equal rights to Palestinians and Israelis is the only way for the conflict to really end. Not only with Palestinian resistance, but with all resistance groups that were created by Israeli occupation.
