  • israel is the Only Democracy In The Middle East and needs to be protected from islamist fundamentalists

  • israel is Under Attack by Hamas Rockets from Terrorist Palestine therefore any retaliation is just and fair

  • israel is the Homeland Of The Jews. Jews need a Homeland. Jews made the Desert Bloom. you would deny Jews a Homeland?

  • the gathering of jews in israel is necessary to usher in the end times that will deliver us from these godless heathens https://inthesetimes.com/article/christians-united-for-israel-zionism-john-hagee-donald-trump-israel-palestine-iran therefore any action that puts jews in israel is good and fair, because it brings them towards conversion to christianity or being sent to hell by jesus' final judgment

  • Israel is white, Palestine is brown/Israel is white, Palestine is muslim

  • Israel is a sensible law abiding nation while Palestine is unruly and uncivilised

blah blah blah

this is definitely a way that people are gonna defend them but there is also a large collection of jewish israeli people who have a long family history in the middle east and definitely would not be considered white in any sense, and i feel like that's important to understand too.

the mizrahi/sephardi haredim (super orthodox) conservative religious party in the knesst holds more seats than the ashkenazi equivalent, for example.

sure but no westerner knows or cares about that. israel is a white country like south africa is a white country. the details have nothing to do with it

i know somebody who is sephardi and has family in israel and she would definitely bring this up as a fact to say that people know nothing about israel so i guess its important if you are interacting with anyone like that.
