Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells i24 he feels he is on a “historic and spiritual mission,” and that he is “very” attached to the vision of Greater Israel, which includes areas slated for a future Palestinian state and possibly also areas that are part of present-day Jordan and Egypt.

    I don’t think Hamas is very fond of the guy starving and murdering them. I know it’s fashionable on Lemmy to portray them as Machiavellian actors who only care about power, but like these are living, breathing people too and nobody enjoys getting carpet bombed.

    Edit: I misunderstood that.

      It’s a gross sentiment to still see when we are years into a genocide. No different from pinning blame on Jewish resistance fighters under Nazi Germany.

        Not the same thing. Israel is definitely in the wrong for committing genocide but antisemitism is still real and a lot of people have it.

          Genocide is infinitely more important than “antisemitism” when the “Jewish state” calls anything going against them as anti Semitic. If you wanna know why the world is absolutely gonna hate Jews in the younger generation, it has absolutely nothing to do with with colonial European ideas and more that, never again meant, learn from Hitler and become worse than him and cry antisemitism as some sort of protected victim class.

            You’re extrapolating the actions of a fascist minority to all Jews. There’s a word for that!

              I’m not extrapolating anything, on the words of Israel and every western government. I’m not saying I agree and I’m well aware that many Jews are anti Zionist. I don’t give a shit about your word, it means fucking nothing when kids are getting starved and shot to death st Israeli led aid drop points.

          I mean, every resistance organization in history hated the absolute guts of the people oppressing them. It’s technically a bad thing, but it’s also unavoidable. Irish paramilitaries during the Troubles tended to hate the shit out of Protestants for example, and I’d bet good money plenty Jewish resistance fighters hated Germans as an ethnic group. It’s unfortunately a very natural human reaction and in no way unique to Palestinians.

          You’re the one that is conflating resistance against the exterminationist ideology that is Zionism to genuine antisemitism.
