If I were to guess, this is only found in the more extreme sects of Judaism.
The ultra orthodox literally segregate themselves from the rest of the world. The orthodox do this to some extent but not nearly as extreme.
Ultimately the ultra orthodox are a minority in both the US and Israel. The orthodox are larger but still a minority.
most Jews are either non religious or belong to a more moderate sect(reform, conservative, traditional, etc.)
And I will say, even the orthodox and ultra orthodox will tell you that every person was created in the image of God. The torah says multiple times that Jews shouldn’t oppress strangers in their land.
There’s still different opinions of Jewish choseness even within those groups. But that said they are more cut off and more likely to hold certain strange views than the rest of the Jewish world.
I mean it is true that the Israeli government did establish itself as a state for Jews.
but also I don’t think supporting the haredim financially means they actually agree with them. The haredim refuse to fight in wars, some are even anti-Zionist.
I think a lot of leftists also support subsidizing religious education simply out of principle. They think education ought to be free and even “useless majors” have some value.

Are you sure about that?
The terrorists from Hamas thought the same way when they decided to launch that took over a thousand lives in one day and was the catalyst for IDF's retaliation. It is not fair to expect the IDF to do absolutely nothing as a response to the terrorist attack. Not after over a thousand lives, with the majority of these lost lives being innocent were swept away in a single day.
I don't expect a supporter of terrorist attacks such as yourself to understand where the above post is coming from though. I'll just mention that an action of resistance from the other side becomes far removed from the definition of what is deemed "ethical" when the results of that attack killed more civilians + non-combatants than the number of actual soldiers.

No one is expecting the IDF to do nothing. After all, even I, as someone against their actions, recognize their right to defend themselves.
But this should only be done in accordance to international rights and NEVER at the cost of Civilians and I don't care if Hamas is hidding in Tunnel, this is not an excuse.
I'm sorry, what ?

I'm pretty sure condoning genocide isn't good etiquette either. Besides we are on Worstgen not at Versailles.
Apparently, them not being religious doesn't stop them from electing integralist nutjobs or thinking they are better than others.
Yeah like killing their own citizens together with the terrorists, as it was reported by Israeli witnesses on Israeli newspapers.

You're like stuck a year and a half in the past. They obliterated the civilian population. Murdered children in the streets, raped prisoners to death, refuse to let wounded children out of the gaza strip to get medical treatment after suffering life altering injuries due to their own war effort.
But yeah, Israel are the good guys.

The UN commision report which said Israel is committing war crimes, crime against humanity.
Also said this -
Regarding the Israeli and foreign hostages held in Gaza by Palestinian armed groups, the report found that many were mistreated to inflict physical pain and severe mental suffering, including physical violence, abuse, sexual violence, forced isolation, limited access to hygiene facilities, water and food, threats and humiliation.
Report concluded with - Both Israel and Hamas and armed Palestinian organisations are committing gender based violence, war crimes and crime against humanity.
Wanna talk about war crimes - call both out

Does the number of innocents who get entangled and lose their lives in these acts of violence matter, along with the potential consequences?
If you think they do, you'd agree with me on this exact stance that Hamas should never have made that terrorist attack in the first place because by not doing it, all of the death and destruction done by the IDF against Gaza would have been avoided entirely.
The way violence is carried out for a cause, along with the resulting casualties of this attack, profoundly influences the other party's response.

Lives always matter. You need to understand that the fight against oppression is a necessary one. If your country fall under fascism, you will have three choice:
- You fight back
- You collaborate
- You run
The most likely in this situation is that you will not have the possibility to run. Which means that the fight becomes the only possibility if you want to keep watching yourself in the mirror because of the atrocities done by the regime. It doesn't mean that you will always use violence, but for some it'sa necessary case.
Resistance is not a game. And yes, sometimes people gets hurt. Ideally people on the ennemy side, but you will see some people go out of the line. It's not a judgment here that I'm making, it's a factual observation. It HAPPENS. Simply because when you live under oppression, you accumulate anger and most people are not build and educated to suppress that.
As for Hamas, we don't talk about a terrorist attack, but an act of war. There is no debate on this. If you don't understand that I will end the conversation.
The action itself of infiltrating the ennemy and attacking soldiers is the normal war act, the problem is that along with soldiers, they were civilians and civilians also on the way.out And it is the attack on those civilians that became a war crime and indeed something that should not have happened.
But this act of horror does not change the fact that actions - sometimes violent - are always necessary against oppressors when there is no other solutions. Israel is doing a genocide now and an appartheid since 70 + years, there needs to be someone resisting. Finally,you need to understand something real quick because it's starting to bug me:
You CAN'T judge the same way the actions of an oppressor and the actions of an oppressed no matter how dramatic they are. Why ? Because it is an ethical necessity. Judging the same way and with the same values the two parties is basically saying that they have both the SAME material condition of existence. Which would be the most ignorant statement of all.
To understand why, listen to those 4 minutes that I have pinned here:
Human are the result of the material conditions of their existence.
If you don't allow humans to have empathy for you and you create the conditions to oppress them daily, their horrific response to you will not be empathetic.
- You fight back
- You collaborate
- You run

By the way, we people of the civilized world don't approve the random shooting of civilians just because there's some bad guy around.
