    When it comes to Israel this is a naive take. Hatred for Palestinians and other Arabs (especially those “intruding” upon their divinely promised lands) permeates all layers of Israeli society. You could get any Israeli politician (even the “leftist” ones) to rule and they’d do similar things, with maybe more or less effort into ceasefire negotiations.

      Their divinely promised lands that they never had before 1940. Just reminding everyone that Western powers gave international Jews land that was already occupied, based on a book of fairy tales from the Bronze Age. We created this problem.

        Please do keep in mind that Zionists and Jews are not synonyms. Jews have been opposing Zionism since its inception and keep doing so in large numbers. See also:

        Our Approach to Zionism - JVP - Jewish Voice for Peace

        Jewish Voice for Peace is guided by a vision of justice, equality and freedom for all people. We unequivocally oppose Zionism because it is counter to those ideals.

      Well, I didn’t mean to be taken literally. Netanyahu understands espionage and murder and is supreme executor of all affairs. Expecting anything else from his Israel is just silly. Frankly, I just want to know whether Iran will make the next decade a nightmare for me with their response. That one is up in the air.
