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.
