our brief (negative) outsider opinion on Israel, because we're seeing some discourse
Fuck antisemitism. There's a lot of it on the left - see for example the expulsion of three Jews from the Chicago Dyke March in 2017: https://estherbergdahl.com/2017/07/02/things-im-verbing-chicago-dyke-march-versus-antisemitism-edition/ - so let's start there: fuck antisemitism.
We Packbats don't have an opinion on whether a Jewish state existing at all anywhere is a good thing or not.
The Israel that actually /does/ exist has been up to some atrocities that need to be stopped.
