“finding out that the feeling isn’t mutual.”
Yes, but do not expect them to see it as a teaching moment, at least not for the majority.

Nah. A lot of these people are self hating Jews. They’ll find a way to blame Israel for everything.

What about Jews in Israel who are against the occupation of Palestine? Also self-hating?

We aren’t talking about “the occupation of Palestine”, whatever that is. We are talking about the terror attacks that took place in Israel last Saturday.
How hard is it to pay attention?

Since Ed mentioned that being pro-BLM makes Jews self-hating, I was wondering what other opinions do.

Are secular Jews who are against creeping religious fundamentalism self-hating?

The person they should be blaming is Netanyahu though. This coming from an Israeli former minister:
“Many have expressed surprise that Hamas so easily penetrated Israel’s defences along the border with Gaza. But there were no such defences. When Hamas began slaughtering hundreds of defenceless civilians, Israel’s glorious army was mostly deployed elsewhere. Many were assigned to the West Bank to protect religious settlers in clashes (sometimes initiated by the settlers themselves) with local Palestinians, and in festivals around invented holy shrines. For long hours, desperate men and women cried for help, and the strongest army in the Middle East was nowhere to be seen.
The assumption was always that Gaza was not a vital priority. The underground wall of sensors and fortified concrete that Israel has built around the enclave was supposed to block the tunnels through which Hamas tried in the past to penetrate Israeli border villages. It was of no use. Hamas militias simply stormed the fences on the surface.
There was no intelligence about Hamas’s intentions, either. The ‘start-up nation’, whose sophisticated cyber units can detect the movement of a leaf in a tree in an Iranian base in Syria, knew nothing of Hamas’s plans. Israel’s obsession with Iran’s possible nuclear breakout and its internal security services’ focus on the occupied West Bank partly explain this negligence”
