    The Israeli people have spoken: more murder, more theft, more rape, more starvation. More attacks on aid workers, more manipulations and lies in other countries. the good news for some is that the bribery budget will probably be increased. Members of both US political parties can toast to that.

    Jesus, I thought he might be losing support because of all the death, destruction and rape. But no - it’s not enough for them. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

      When you live in constant war, its really easy to instill fear and foment hate. That’s why netenyahu keeps up the war machine, its his primary avenue to power.

          More pointing out that its easy to look from the outside and wonder why people are so awful, but humans are easily controlled with fear.

      They have had this plan since Ben Gurion founded the country. They will move on to Syria and Jordan next, then Egypt.

      “We should prepare to go over to the offensive. Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine. We shall establish a Christian state there, and then we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan; Syria will fall to us. We then bomb and move on and take Port Said, Alexandria and Sinai.” David Ben-Gurion May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, a Biography, by Michael Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978.

    voters demand tougher Lebanon stance

    Tougher? Seriously?

    So I’m against antisemitism, or just plain racism in general. Everybody is the same, so fuck off with your bullshit.

    I hate Israel and the IDF, and Zionists BECAUSE THEY ALL WANT GENOCIDE, and if I have been taught anything in school, it is “never again”

    I have NO problems with Jews in general, again, all the same, we all share the same DNA, we all love our children, we’re the same

    But if a psychopath dictator is losing support from israeli Jews because he isn’t genociding enough, it really makes me wonder how deep this hatred against the entire world runs in Israel. It makes me wonder if it is a good idea to leave Israel in existence at all, at this point, because every time there is really truly bad shit going on, Israel is always somehow involved, be it directly, be it through financing or sabotage, but there is always something there and it’s becoming… Unsettling.

    Again, fuck antisemitism, but people haven’t been able to levy the slightest obvious and valid criticism against israel without being labeled an antisemite by some Israel organization or government, to the point that the word lost it’s meaning entirely.

    So then I guess I am an antisemite who hates racism and hasn’t got a problem with Jews at all, unless they’re into genocide and lately I’m having real problems finding Jewish people that aren’t.

    Can Jews that hate genocide please stand up? Are there any of you left that actually paid attention in class about the “never again” part?

    The last ceasefire lasted little more than a year and Hezbollah used that time to rebuild, so I think that a new ceasefire now is not likely to be in Israel’s best interest, especially if it involves ceding occupied territory. Trump just wants to claim victory (and he might get away with it politically because the effects of failure on life in the USA will be significant but indirect) but the security of the people in northern Israel depends on actually achieving victory.

    Nuke Israel, then burn the ashes. Then force everyone with israeli citizenship to live there
