Hostile to Life itself.
Sigh. And they wonder why there are so many terrorists.
Fucking monsters. Nobody encourages anti-Semitism more than Israel itself. They are every bit as bad as the Nazis were. Who would have thought that the lesson they would learn from the Holocaust would be to pay it forward?

I get what you mean, but the topic of anti-Jewish racism should never have even been relevant in the conversation surrounding Zionist colonialism, subsequent atrocities, and oppression against the Levantine peoples starting in the late 1800s.
It would be like giving credence to the concept of “anti-aryanism” in the context of the holocaust. Anyone with a modicum of integrity would laugh that shit out rather than take it seriously. Oppression is oppression; it matters not the identity of the perpetrators nor the victims, only their intent and actions.
The only reason we let this shit fly with Israel is due to internalized Jewish-exceptionalism made possible through decades of systematic indoctrination and propagandization of the Holocaust (e.g. hyperfixation on the identities of the victims rather than the mechanics that allowed such a large-scale atrocity to take place).
This quiz where you guess whether a quote was made by a Nazi or a Zionist will illustrate my point.

A reminder that the Zionist project started well before WW1, and that Zionist militias actively sought out help from Nazi Germany. Also, IOF Members themselves identified with notorious Nazi branches.
It would be like giving credence to the concept of “anti-aryanism” in the context of the holocaust.
Which, should be noted, was absolutely a Nazi talking point. Literally “the Jews want Aryans dead so we have to kill them first.”
I was sort of hinting at that. There were a few examples of that in the quiz listed, but it seems that website is down.

Perfectly said, thank you!
Every time I see a Jewish person, I wonder if they support the genocide.
Sadly as a Jewish person most of us do, I feel like a German during the Holocaust
That may be true, but you yourself do not. Our race, class, and background explain how we came to be, but they do not define us; our choices do. You chose to be against oppression and injustice even if it meant sacrificing many comforts. Keep your chin up.
Statistically: the answer is clear.
Bahaa Abu al-Ajeen, the boy’s father, set out that evening with his son, alongside his friend and relative, Khaled Abu Ghrab, to check on farmland they owned in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. While they were in what they described as a safe area, far from the so-called “Yellow Line” dividing Gaza into two, the two men and the child were surprised by an Israeli force hiding inside a Palestinian house within the designated safe zone. When they approached the house, the soldiers suddenly emerged and surrounded them, Baha Abu al-Ajeen said.
“If we had known there were Israeli soldiers there, we would never have gone,” he told Mondoweiss. “We were walking inside a safe area and heading to another location in the same zone. We had no idea soldiers were hiding there.”
Speaking from a hospital bed at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in video testimony for Mondoweiss, Abu al-Ajeen recalled that when the soldiers confronted them, his relative told him to sit on the ground. “We sat down to show them that we were unarmed and posed no threat. We regularly use this road inside the safe zone. Then my son started crying loudly out of fear. He had never experienced anything like that before,” he said.
Abu al-Ajeen said he then picked up his son and moved about 50 meters back to calm him down. “As I began walking, the soldiers shouted at me to stop and fired beneath my feet. I stopped immediately. And the moment I stopped, two soldiers pointed their guns at us, and one of them shot my son while he was in my arms. The bullet entered the back of his head and exited through his left eye while he was in my embrace. Then they shot me in the leg.”
The father recalled the moment of the killing when the Israeli soldier aimed before shooting. “The soldier got down on one knee, aimed at my child’s head, and killed him. One bullet,” he said. “I wish they had killed me instead.”
It’s good to know I can still cry about atrocities. There are no words to describe the evilness of such acts.
After three-year-old Rayan was shot, Abu al-Ajeen said that he immediately began screaming, “My son, my son.”
“My leg was bleeding, and my child was dying in my arms, taking his final breaths. I begged them to let me die but to save my son. They refused and offered no assistance,” Abu al-Ajeen recounted. “The soldiers told me, ‘Leave your son.’ I told them I wanted to save him, but they kept ordering me to leave him.”
The father also said that while soldiers discussed his leg injury, he heard some of them speaking Arabic amongst themselves. “Leave him. Cut off his leg,” they said, according to Abu al-Ajeen.
Abu al-Ajeen recounted that the soldiers did tie his bleeding leg in the end, after which they placed him in a military jeep with his son’s body beside him. “They drove off at high speed over bumps and potholes while I sat in the back, handcuffed.”
“Every time I spoke or asked for help, the soldiers shouted at me, ‘Be quiet.’ They would not allow me to make a sound, even if I were crying from pain,” he said.
The father said that while he repeatedly pleaded for help for his son, some soldiers mocked him. “Are you so worried about your son, calling out ‘Aboud, Aboud’ all the time?” they told him, according to Abu al-Ajeen. “They left me bleeding for six continuous hours.”
They drove him and his son from one place to another inside the vehicle while he bled, Abu al-Ajeen continued. Close to midnight, they abandoned them near Kissufim, a crossing point between Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
As the soldiers dropped him off, Abu al-Ajeen lost track of his son and kept asking them where he was. “And they answered me, ‘your son is next to you,’” he said. “I was shocked to discover that they had wrapped him in a black plastic bag and thrown him beside me.”
Calling them animal is an insult to animal. Israels destruction cannot happen soon enough.
Animals run on instinct and are not capable of anything close to this kind of stuff. This level of cruelty is only possible with humans and any attempt to equate the perpetrators with animals in Western discourse is an attempt by humans not doing shit about the horrors our fellow humans are committing to feel better about themselves by insinuating that the people committing atrocities are somehow “not” human like us.
Don’t get me wrong, animals are fucking brutal to each other, but they are not cruel for the sake of being cruel. Unduely cruel animals are selected out of the gene pool. A predator that constantly hunts for sport will wipe out their prey and go extinct. Individuals that waste energy torturing their prey for their own enjoyment will be out competed by members of their own species that simply do what they need to survive. Animals actually have mechanisms to prevent excessive cruelty in an overwhelmingly cruel existence, meanwhile we actively encourage and send resources to support cruelty and allow it to expand. This is a choice, not nature. We have the unique ability to build a safe, thrivable world for every member of our species through our technology. We choose not to.
jfc
Every post i see about “israel” makes me support Hamas even more. Death to zionism
Certainly the lesser of two evils
No. The people of a colonized/occupied country have every right to respond as they see fit, including a military response
