Interact with real people from Israel and suddenly there’s a lot more to it than “Israeli bad”
If Greece was doing what Israel is doing and my fellow Greek electors were responsible for electing for 20 years in free and fair elections the government that does it AND they were polling the government coalition responsible for doing it first for the next election AND in opinion polls overwhelmingly supported the genocide and I was one of the few brave souls doing the protesting, not only would I be ok with the conflation, I would be encouraging.
Holding autocracies to account is easy: send the dictator to the Hague.
Holding democracies (even flawed ones like Israel’s) to account is harder.
Greece is not identical with its government. Pedantry that collapses an important distinction is extra unhelpful.
Funny you… you can separate Greece and its population, but the same rule doesn’t apply to Israel… really funny…
Polls have repeatedly shown that the Israeli population is majority supportive of their government’s actions in Palestine.
Greeks don’t live on stolen land built on theft, oppression, and active genocide. Israelis do.

Do you understand what an international sanction is?
