      I’m not the OP of that comment, but again:

      Seems obvious to me they’re referring to the genocidal state of Israel.

      Not sure what was unclear about that. Maybe you need to take it slowly, word by word. Best of luck to you.

          Only to people who completely lack reading comprehension skills and/or basic understanding of English. Or trolls who actually support genocide and deliberately misconstrue things so they can argue against a strawman.

          I also have a guess about which one you are.

                    I meant do you call perfect strangers stupid, then say things like

                    Aww poor dear feels attacked. Don’t worry honey🫂

                    It’s ok sweetheart.

                    Are you like this in person?

                Hm. That is actually a pretty cool website. I’ve been looking for an alternative to google translate. The Wiktionary can be a little tedious at times.

                But how would I use this to prove that “state” and “government” are generally synonymous in most practical contexts?

                  @etuomaala I’m not @LinkOpensChest_wav but I would like to chime in.

                  But how would I use this to prove that “state” and “government” are generally synonymous in most practical contexts?

                  You wouldn’t need to, because we’re not talking about “most practical contexts”.

                  We’re only talking about contexts in which people are protesting the actions of a government.

                    Also, I don’t think that is the clear context. I’ve talked to way too many people online who actually do hate Israel, its people, and its government. I actually legitimately do not know which group the guy saying “Fuck Israel” belongs to. So, I’m trying to find out before jumping to conclusions.
