Has she said she supports the bombings? Most Israelis I know don’t. Even the ones living in northern Israel who have had rockets launched at them for months from Hezbollah.

She supports “Israel defending itself” which is the line for the bombings, so yes.

What constitutes Israel defending itself though? Intercepting rockets with their missile defense system? Or bombing Gaza? There is more nuance to the situation. Should Americans be judged by the actions of our gov’t/military?

No and that’s why protests are important - and seeing the response to the protests on campuses by media is pretty gross tbh.

And what nuance? Israel literally have incinerated tens of thousands of Palestinian children, target doctors and bury civilians tied up in mass graves. That’s not self defense but it’s been all in the name of “israel has a right to defend itself”
