I realize you are not addressing me, as I don't support the killing of civilians by any government or entity--but at this point, it seems like who can be killed by Israel is more flexible The rhetoric is dividing up into 'supports everything done by Israel' and 'does not support everything done by Israel.' Palestinians are completely dehumanized but anyone who does not support Israel--they can be killed by Israel with impunity. Rachel Corrie was killed and some other Brits and Americans have been. The World Central Kitchen people were directly assassinated as have some others been.

--Jewish Israelis who oppose Israel's actions haven't been killed but of disinterest when it comes to protection, as we see with those kidnapped by Hamas. They aren't protected and nobody cares. Jewish people in the diaspora are probably not exempted. They are described as enemies and not really Jewish, according to some.
