    And I applaud the initiative. But people are people and we all have bias towards “ours” vs “theirs”.

    I’m not defending Gadot. The kids growing up in Israel are conditioned since young, as in any nationalistic country. And those rebelling against their own country being on the right side of a conflict are usually the exception, not the rule.

    It took a long while for the US to reach where it’s at and they’ve done some ugly things so far. Yet even now there are “patriots” stirring the stinky pot. Can’t say Israel reached the same stage, but it takes time to unlatch if one can at all.
