Jesus that wording really hits home in Ireland. I immediately thought of Cromwell famously announced that he would send the Irish “to Hell or Connaught!”
Eliyahu also voices his objection during the interview to allowing any humanitarian aid into Gaza, saying “we wouldn’t hand the Nazis humanitarian aid,”
The Nazis never had nukes or the backing of the United States. They didn’t have a state religion. They weren’t dispatching military assets to settle their neighboring territories. Zionism is worse than naziism.
They didn’t have a state religion, but not for lack of trying. Most of Germany was Christian in some way, and that was exploited by the Nazis, but they generally wanted their people to be Nazis first and anything else second. If Nazi Germany had continued, I’m sure Nazism would have been the state religion.

So, what exactly would you call what they did during WW2? I'm with you on everything else you said, but this statement makes me think you know very little about history.
He has been censured by the Israeli government and stripped him of his ability to be in briefing meetings. Many in the Knesset are also now working to have him removed. The prime minister immediately released a statement that this was completely inappropriate and contrary to the way in which the IDF operates in accordance with the rules of armed conflicts.
Point is that if this had happened anywhere outside Israel and the remark would be towards Israel, there would have been a huge outcry, and this guy would have been arrested, but now I am not even sure he will be removed from the government or returned silently after some time.
There have been Russian politicians defending using nukes in Ukraine, though not actually wanting to nuke a city of 2 million people.
Then again, the Russians are nowhere as racist towards Ukranians and actually want those in the occupied Ukranian territory to become Russians, whilst the Israelis want all Palestinians to die or to leave their land, not to integrate.
Never again to us is what you should interpret it as. A group taking steps to ensure that their near genocide can never be repeated doesn’t burden them with a moral crusade to end all genocide.
They got criticized by Michael D. Higgins. This guy is unreal. He is so charismatic and positive and though I don’t know him personally he looks like an amazing human being.
That’s gotta be the most pro-genocide comment section I’ve ever seen. I know it’s an Israeli publication, but goddamn there’s some disturbing shit there
This shit bag is many shit bags who hold power in the Israeli government. I present you, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir. Who wants to create their own militia:
In a further swipe against a previous attempt by Ben Gvir to form a national guard that would be independent from the police and answer directly to his ministry, Shabtai said: “I have fought and I will fight with all my strength to guarantee that any policing force will be subordinate to the Border Police and the Israel Police.”
The lawmaker, Itamar Ben Gvir, has long admired Meir Kahane, the late racist rabbi. Kahane’s violent anti-Arab ideology — which included calls to ban Jewish-Arab intermarriage and for the mass expulsion of Palestinians — was considered so repugnant that Israel banned him from parliament and the United States listed his party as a terrorist group. Kahane was assassinated by an Arab assailant in New York 32 years ago.
They’re, historically, Modern Palestine’s closest Western ally, basically the only one in Gaza after the 2007 elections and subsequent violent purge of the PA from the region and destruction of Fatah during the brief conflict that followed.
Or you know, Israel has turned the Star of David, a holy symbol throughout Judaism, into a hate symbol because the gazan’s they oppressed decided they had enough and struck back.
Look, neither side is the good guy. Both have hurt and murdered civilian populations.
It needs to stop. Lay down arms and talk. But this blood fued is older then all of us, and reason had never prevailed here.
Its a terrible loss for both sides, and the world at large.
I feel both sides will feel cultural backlash, to the point of outside violence, before this is over.
Actually, if Israel actually does launch a nuclear strike against Gaza, that will firmly put them in the “bad guys” category and justify every stupid fucking goddamn horrible thing that Hamas has ever done. Straight up.
There’s no hate behind my words, I like Israel and I have nothing but respect for the Jewish people, but if the Israeli government is allowed to just do that with no consequences, then it means evil truly has triumphed over good. I greatly fear to see what kind of a world such an action would create.
