As best I can tell, the most racist zionists are usually American-born Israelis.

I do my best to always use the word Zionist before the word Israeli.

Israel’s secularism is irrelevant to the overall racist ideology of Zionism that permeates Israeli society.

I’m not referring to powerless, mouth-breathing, NEETs who normally lurk forums.

But I’m referring to comments from actual members of the Israeli Knesset, public statements from people like the OP, printed editorials in mainstream publications, and modern Israeli celebrities.

When you read through the translations not meant for western audiences - the racism pops out disturbingly. It’s such a part of their culture that they don’t even notice it as such. Zionists really don’t view people in the West Bank or Gaza as humans.

A few months ago I started using Google Translate to read what Israelis are saying amongst each other in their mainstream publications and forums.

My. God. Levels of entitlement and racism that would make a Klansman blush.

Sure, a lot of them want a cease-fire to get the hostages back … and most don’t like Netanyahu … but the average Israeli Zionist is a racist monster.

Poe’s law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

And they still get most everything they want; whereas when Dems are in charge they have to make up obscure reasons (example: Oh Noe!!! The Parlimentarian won’t let us do it!!!111) why they can’t pass popular legislation.

Empty threat is empty.

More like: “My ancestors ate chickpeas … therefore, that falafel is mine!”

Thing is: There’s plenty Hamas & related groups did on Oct 7th to enrage a population - no exaggeration is necessary.

However, there ISN’T enough to justify a genocide … especially since Israelis have been torturing Palestinians for decades.

Israel needs to de-humanize the locals to the point where the population can justify an ethnic cleansing. Hence: Ridiculous accusations of using breasts as foot-balls and mass rape.

“Israel offered an evolving account of the incident as the day progressed.”

Awesome way to say: Making up shit and seeing what sticks

Honest question from an ignorant 'Murican, with no context about what this controversy is about:

To a Hindu, would naming the lion ‘Akbar’ kinda be like naming an elephant ‘Hitler’ in Israel?

Or is this all just a religious/ cultural thing that makes no sense to outsiders such as myself?

Don’t mess with librarians. They look mousey … but they take their jobs really seriously and will fuck your shit up.

Better than conservative political cartoons.

Wasn’t there a story the other day claiming that Israel expected the US to pay for these camps?

Has that been debunked yet?

Any increase I’ve experienced in my pay has been completely surpassed by healthcare bills and inflation.

… and 68, and 69, and 70, etc, etc, etc…

Anyone who would get enjoyment from watching this kind of event has a diseased soul. As has been said elsewhere: It’s BumFights with a higher budget.

They’re just going to go in and murder everyone that refuses or is unable to flee. We all know it’s going to happen.

Moreover: There will be no political consequences for any European or American policy-maker that is helping this massacre happen.

This is the end of the “Rules based order.” It wasn’t a very good system, but it provided a modicum of protection and humanity in a very brutal world.

as part of an Israeli plan to construct a security zone just inside Gaza—to which Palestinians would be barred entry.

INSIDE Gaza. They already built their apartheid prison-wall inside Gaza, in violation of international law or Palestinian consent. Now they are going to take even more land for their concentration camp.

These are the types of cases where it pays to be lenient.

Without going deeply into the history & tactics of dealing with insurgencies: If the goal is social stability and reconciliation - it is best to be lenient the first time, but then be absolutely over-the-top brutal the second.
