Large crowds of ultranationalist Jews gathered Thursday at the foot of Jerusalem’s Damascus Gate, chanting racist slogans like “Death to Arabs” and “May your villages burn” as they began an annual parade through the Palestinian areas of the Old City, a procession often characterized by violence.

Yeah but they're gods chosen people. We know because ancient Israelite clergy said so. Remwver, after they started losing their ancient wars? And people stated asking the temple priests "does god hate us?", and they were like "no, actually, he loves us the most. He's just on break." ... And then promised he is going to come back some day. And destroy the world. Thats what the temple priests said. And I mean... Powerful clergy never lie, right? So it's pretty clear. God loves Israel the most.
This is all sarcasm, obviously. I mean, that IS actually what happened. Israel started losing, so the clergy-kings spun a narrative that "oh were still the favorite, he's just on holiday". And we believe it til this day. Like... Huge swathes of people dismiss global warming, because they're confident in a "placate the populace" from a bunch of shitty temple executives in ancient Israel. Temple executives Jesus railed against... And yet it's Jesus' alleged followers who most eagerly believe that narrative.
Education is SO important. Come at me, Israel bots

Why are you comparing the IRGC and the Houthis to Israelis? That seems to be a bit of a category error. Why don’t we compare the perception of the Israeli settlers/ultranationalist Israelis to the perception of the aforementioned group. When we frame it this way we notice that the way both groups are perceived by the masses is pretty similar.
You still are right about the fact that the Israeli extremists get away with a lot more in reality.

The roles have been reversed for a century by the entire Arab world. Only it doesn't get covered, and if it does its always justified.
You're welcome to look into what the Arab world thinks of Jews and the history of Jews in the region. Or the media. Or the opinions of Palestinian Arabs. Difference is every one has an opinion that ranges from 5 to 10 times more extreme than these Jewish extremists. The worst of one side is highlighted without looking at the other side - the best of which is 5 times worse.

That's the "nuance" missing here. Did the people marching through this neighborhood literally kill members of your family for no good reason? No. Did they literally kick your family out of their home and steal the home? No. Well then it ain't the f****** same!

You can find a multitude of Israeli sources highlighting the same. The prevailing attitude is openly voiced on TV and columns almost daily, as we have also seen ample evidence of. Remember the current Israeli minister in charge of policing Palestinians is convicted of funding and inciting terrorism 8 times. That attitude and what he has been spewing has rubbed off during the last few years sadly.
