    So you wouldn’t find anything offensive with “Solidarity with Israel”, “Solidarity with Russia”, or “Solidarity with Afghanistan” since their governments do not represent their people?

      Those are not equivalent examples. Israel is the name of both the country and the culpable. All of Palestine is not responsible for terrorists while Israel and Russia are the direct responsible parties.

      If someone wants to properly specify they support Israelis or the Russian people, they better specify it to distinguish from the actual culpable governments in those cases.
