The protesters demanded an end to the war and the release of hostages from Gaza, and also called for elections that many hoped would oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Actually no, since they only want the return of the hostages. That’s kosher as long as they don’t call for the cessation of Israel’s genocide, which they haven’t.

      That’s kosher

      How about you don’t equate Jews and Israelis what with many of us Jews being against Israeli imperialism and genocide?

        Okay I did not mean that. I guess the context could make it confusing, but I was using this meaning of kosher:

        2: being proper, acceptable, or satisfactory

        The fact that the topic is Israel is actually a coincidence.

        Also, would you use the term ‘halal’ to say something similar when a predominantly Muslim country does something bad?

        Actually as an Arab Muslim I could easily see halal being used in a similar context in an Arabic conversation, but that’s neither here nor there.
