Interesting that it's the influence/disinformation that caused this, not the open secret that they're a rogue nuclear armed state.

To be fair, any country with nukes has this option. They're just not so obnoxious about it.

No, only countries which can actually deliver the bombs to the targets.

Why do you think you can permit yourself to conduct a (proxy) war against Russia?

These people definitely don't speak for all Israelis but they certainly do a disservice to all of them. They feed exactly the kind of negative sentiment that more and more people have, with written proof.

You're quoting a civilian who has no role in the government, let alone its military command.

This is why I talked about their speech doing a disservice to all Israelis, not their ability to act with authority. If you need an LLM to interpret 2 short sentences, here is what it thinks:

> No. That sentence does not suggest the people are in the government or military.

> It reads like you mean a group of civilians or public voices whose statements harm perceptions of Israelis generally. “Speak for all Israelis” implies they’re not representatives, not officials.
