Inhuman acts, shooting old people and kids at close range, burning them alive in their homes and kidnapping people to use as human shields, those acts of barbarism are excused by BLM-LA as legitimate acts of resistance.
And why is there not such reactions in other conflict?
Do the Muslim student groups target the Chinese community to protest the treatment of Uyghers? Do the Proud Boys target Ukrainian churches to show their love for Russia?
Are [Jews] the only people under threat from both the left and the right?
Pretty much. "Kill the Jews" has been a staple of the far-right for centuries. For the far-left, it's police accountability, housing reform, and, oh, by the way, let's kill all the Jews. A lot of Christian churches have viewed the murder of Jews as payback for the death of Jesus. The only reason some of the Christian churches support Israel is they see the return of the Jews to the Holy Land as a prerequisite for Jesus to come back. (Which gets to the question of why, since most of their lives are in opposition to Jesus's teachings of love and peace, but that's not my lane.)
Time and time again, for thousands of years, Jews have been murdered in their homes or expelled. Nothing has changed.
Except this time, there are a few million Jews who have guns and the willingness to kill those who would do them harm.
Just like Christians.

Things seem to be hotter than a pepper sprout
If you lock people up in what in effect is an open air prison camp, give them no way forward from their imprisonment, have nothing else but open season on them and their children via settlers and or IDF bullets finding their way into them somehow, don’t be surprised when they decide to return the treatment. The only thing we’ve learned from the Holocaust is to do it retail, not wholesale.
DA, Hamas rules the Gaza Strip. Their platform is genocidal, they want to push all the Jews into the sea.
You tell me this: What is there to talk about from there? There is no basis for negotiation. Yes, the civilians of Gaza are suffering.
What is your solution?
Bad news, this time from Ha'aretz . I couldn't make something this disgusting up.
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” Netanyahu told his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy"
Yep, Netanyahu supported Hamas in order to prevent peace from happening. Disgusting.

Our people came up with the definition of chutzpah: "A person who murdered his parents, and cried out for mercy because he's now an orphan." I think we have a better example with Netanyahu and Hamas: with a massacre of Jews, he got just what he wanted.
The first step towards peace consists of giving Netanyahu a one-way ticket to the Hague.
P.S. You have good positions on almost everything else.
CM, if Hamas hadn’t been favored by the Israeli Government for so many years, they wouldn’t be King Rat in the GS .
That notion might seem counterintuitive and yet, when it comes to Netanyahu himself, it is unexpectedly on-brand. Prime minister for most of the last 15 years, Netanyahu has been an enabler of Hamas, building up the organisation, letting it rule Gaza unhindered – save for brief, periodic military operations against it – and allowing funds from its Gulf patrons to keep it flush. Netanyahu liked the idea of the Palestinians as a house divided – Fatah in the West Bank, Hamas in Gaza – because it allowed him to insist that there was no Palestinian partner he could do business with. That meant no peace process, no prospect of a Palestinian state, and no demand for Israeli territorial concessions.
None of this was a secret. In March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues: “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
That catastrophic misjudgment alone should seal Netanyahu’s fate. Taken together with the fact that it was on his watch that Israel suffered the deadliest attack in its history, the greatest single loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust, the verdict on Netanyahu should be clear. Most Israelis admit as much, accepting that once the current war is over, he will have to go.

Then I don't see how Netanyahu politically survives this war.
