OK but let’s dig into the semantics of this. Would you offer the same criticism of someone who quipped about “all men being dangerous?” How about “All republicans are fascist?” Surely not all Republicans; hell, George Conway has built a new media career as a non-trump republican. Or can we agree that browbeating people for not accounting for granular differences when discussing broad trends in a casual setting is kinda dickish? Also per jpost 90% of Israelis consider themselves Zionist; I’m sure the 10% aren’t going to quibble at generalizations.

Yes, a man didn’t choose to be a man. A republican sure did choose to be a republican, which is a, to put it lightly, dubious choice in this day and age, but I still wouldn’t say all of them are fascist.
Saying that all Israelis should die a painful death is still kinda crazy, and I don’t think it’s “dickish” to point that out.
