When they say scumbag country, they’re not saying a country of scumbags. It is because the state of Israel acts like a grossly intolerable human being; the most immoral, self-centred, holier-than-thou, hubristic, arrogant, racist, hateful, lashing, mistrustful person you have ever met. Like you wouldn’t ever want to have a conversation with, let alone have to spend time with, live with, be locked in a cell with. I am of the opinion that no person is “too far gone”, but for a state, what makes a state? I think this is the comparison.
