Reacting within our narrow framework, neglecting to account for the vagaries of translation.

If you’re determined to take offence @skisnow then I guess nobody can stop you.
And you “always had the option” of being culturally sensitive @skisnow
I gather that “death to” comes about in translation to English from Arabic/Islamic cultures.A state or organisation is not alive. It can’t “die”. The “death” therefore must be figurative. “Death to America” is not the same as “Death to Americans”, for example. “Death to Israel” and “Death to the IDF” are not calls to harm a living being.

Most Israelis seem to revel in the bloodshed. Most Israelis probably belong in prison.

I’m on mastodon @skisnow
Mastodon users can follow hashtags. Not using them is considered impolite.
So is failing to add alt text to images.
See? You’ve learned something. Your narrow framework is not the whole world.
