Israelis are not Likud

That’s why I try to be very deliberate in differentiating between “Israel”, which is a country and government, and “Israelis”, which are the people who live there.

As an American, I’m extremely mindful of this distinction:

Being anti-American is bigotry based on national origin.

Being anti-America is a moral and justified position against an Imperial, settler-colonialist state that kills millions around the globe.

OK. By the way Israel always has coalition governments so there are several parties in this coalition although the largest component is Likud. The war cabinet is only Likud and National Unity (party led by Benny Gantz).

They don’t care about that kind of stuff in here

I guess that is like trying to discuss who the trainer of the football team is with a guy in the grandstand who just wants to throw beer cans at the opposition.
