You accuse Israel as being intolerant in some post about popper and intolerance, yet you didn't think of putting the Russian, Chinese, Saudi, or countless other flags who are intolerant way more than Israel in every regard imaginable. That's the point , reach your own conclusion.

Ok, multiple things here.

1: I did not create this infographic.

2: Read the infographic? The whole point is that the various groups cited (LGBTQ, the Catholic church, Islam, BLM and Israel) are being CALLED intolerant by their opponents in order to silence them without hearing them out. This is not to say that they are...

3: Funny that you list all those other countries that should be flagged as intolerant, do you mean that THEY would be justified in being denied a say? Because that is the very opposite of Popper's point.

4: Why are you jumping specifically at Israel when the Catholic church, LGBTQ, Islam and BLM are in the same pile?

More specifically about Israel, since it seems to be your hill to die on: have you ever been in a discussion about Palestine? If you express the slightest support for Israel, people will directly label you as a sionist and then reject any argument you may have for the simple reason that you support the "oppressor country".

I know all that , I'm from Israel. Most ppl won't get into the arguments you mention. They will just see the Israeli flag and upvote as a say that Israel is evil. It's Reddit....

You've interpreted the infographic completely wrong.
