    Israel is the modern day Nazi regime and we need to stop mincing words about it.

    I hope I live to see Israel, in its current form, entirely destroyed. I want to believe that there are consequences to being this evil.

      Its a noble dream. But for Israel to ever face justice their largest and fiercest backer - the nation that is often the only one that votes to protect them in UN votes, and the one that has almost singlehandedly turned them into a military superpower in the middle east - the USA - must get its house in order first.

      There is zero chance of much changing on Israel while Republicans or the conservative wing of the Democrats are in power, and especially while Trump is president. That’s not to say it can’t change, but there are multiple hurdles: so, I hope you live a long time and see a lot of positive changes throughout your life.

        This makes me think about Handmade’s Tale. I’ve been watching it a lot recently and it makes you wonder what happened to Israel in this timeline. I’d guess Israel’s support from Gilead would have dropped to zero. They were likely fucked given that the Jewish people here were deported and put on boats that never actually made it to Israel. Just a random thought brought about by your comment.

    He should have been more eloquent. I’m pretty sure there’s an ancient word that means “to entirely destroy by fire”… If he had used that instead, it would be more clear what he means.

    It’s not even news anymore to see these shitty blood-glutted war criminals’ gloating, completely conveniently forgetting the hypocrisy. Perhaps we need to simply call this what it is, by this man’s very definition here: it is a holocaust of Gaza.

    I was told many times that the extremists who hold this agenda in Israel are a small minority and do not represent Israel or have much power over its policy.

      Netanyahu isn’t seen as an extremist within Israeli politics. Zionism has always been fascist and always had the agenda of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

        Probably the same kind of ignorance of other countries’ perspective that makes Americans think the political center is somewhere between the US Republicans and the US Democrats.

          I know it’s framed that way deliberately to western audiences as a way to minimize Israels current actions as fringe instead of mainstream, but yeah, definitely taken that way from the audience. American exceptionalism still has a stronghold in the mentality of the people here unfortunately.

      They’re perfectly fine with that; a permanent state of emergency and ever-looming existential enemy is what fascists need to justify their own police state and crackdowns on freedom.

    Israel is an evil country. Israel is the country with the most war criminals per capita. If the Israeli people do not do something significant in the coming months, they will be complicit in the atrocities committed by the IDF.

    They need to be taught the same hard lesson Germany, Italy, and Japan had to be taught 80 years ago. Genocidal fascism has no place on Earth.

      Presumably either Egypt or the West Bank. Well… Until Israel decides they want that too and start bombing the shit out of that.
