So is this article describing a war game sort of thing where units create staged scenarios for gaming out future crisis responses?[0]
Besides, this policy systemically discriminates against minorities and minority opinions.
Jews are a minority and there are a large number of accounts here that are regularly posting extreme anti-Israel content, that is often exaggerated, misleading, or downright fabricated (such as this post).
If Jewish accounts would try to counter and give their side of the story every time that happens, their accounts would overwhelmingly be about one topic.
This combined with the ability of a majority to downvote a comment to invisibility ensures you get an echo chamber in here that is irrationally bigoted and misinformed.
One could argue that supporting the state of Israel as it currently stands and behaves is antisemitic, judging by the fact that its actions create huge negative sentiment about it and international isolation.

I’m under no illusion that I can have a rational discussion with you on the topic. My point was to @dang and anyone else reading this.
If you read it again you will see that I did not say that ultra orthodox jews are nazis, but a subset of those (the settlers) behave like nazis. Perpetuating the circle of violence.
Hope you had fun going through 5 months of my comments to find something you can complain about.
You appear to be somewhat implying that the settlers which are engaging in violence are mostly Ultra-Orthodox(Haredi) Jews. Which is weird since only about 30% of settlers are Ultra-Orthodox and they tend to mostly reside in settlements along the Green Line(which are generally the least problematic type of settlement) for mostly economic reasons. The Ultra-Orthodox also generally try and avoid military service and don't typically engage in violent clashes with Palestinians. I don't know why you seem to be blaming a group that is largely trying to avoid IDF service for "the circle of violence", they tend to clash mostly with Israeli police if anything when protesting against mandatory conscription.[0]
The group you're probably thinking of that causes a lot of the problems by deliberately picking fights(i.e those in outpost settlements that are typically illegal even under Israeli law) when you think of settlers are more National-Religious(Dati Leumi).

The vast majority of Jews do support Israel having a right to exist.
> I’m told that’s antisemitism.
You seem to be conflating Jews supporting Israel having a right to exist with Jews supporting some particular actions taken by some Israeli's or Israeli government policies. One can support Israel having a right to exist while still being against specific government policies or specific actions taken by Israeli's.
Ethnic cleansing did happen, but it wasn't just in one direction. Apartheid is race based discrimination, Israel mostly just has citizenship based discrimination these days(like most countries). War is also not the same thing as genocide.
> Supporting its "right to exist" is to support all of those things.
Do you think the US has a "right to exist"? You can make an equally if not more plausible claim that the US could only exist via ethnic cleansing, apartheid and genocide due to what happened to the Native Americans.

He’s been doing it non-stop ever since. The only reason dang even did that is because he banned an anti-genocide poster and another commenter pointed out the double standard on this site.
That's just not true.
The last post I commented on[0] wasn't Israel related.

How is a question about the source of this report propaganda?
