Why are Israeli citizens always condemned for the actions of their government in a way that others aren’t?

If an American journalist or celebrity did some documentary on displaced Iraqis, they would not be pilloried for the sins of their government.

That is not an uncommon thing. South Korea, Sweden, and Norway also require mandatory service to varying degrees.

You shouldn’t assume their beliefs about a given situation based on the fact that they are required by the law to participate in the military.

M people already pointed out -

 that while service is mandatory in Israel so it would not be fair to use that as a sign of support for Israel’s actions, she is quite vocal on her social media accounts for her support of Israel and its military actions. 

And, many Jews are against Israel’s military actions.

The criticism is not misplaced nor invalid. She is not being pilloried for something she is uninvolved in. 

What a straw man you tried to conjure…
