Yes, they're trying to come up with a few scapegoats for the coming Nuremburg-style trials, and to find some way to preserve the State of Israel from the building global, and especially American, backlash of revulsion.

We mustn't let them. Israel is a rabid dog that must be put down, and we don't even have to shoot it. All we have to do is to stop feeding it money and weapons. Never, ever forget that.

I really appreciate your writing this. Excellent explanation, that it's not limited to Netanyahu, as so many would like to believe.

thanks Joe. it is all so sad. evil begets evil. What the Jews went through during the holocaust is unimaginable. But committing the same type of genocide on others is not the answer. it just never ends.

I've been totally disgusted with Israel and their American enablers for years. Anyone who didn't see what their true goal is wasn't looking too closely. Now with the ITS AGAINST THE LAW TO CRITICIZE ISRAEL laws in the US it's baldly plain. Fascists supporting Fascists.

Hilarious. Now do Islamism and Palestinianism. LOL.

What other countries don't deserve to exist? And how many Palestinians are you willing to see killed to end Israel and kill or displace 10 million Israelis?

You Western Poseur assholes never say. You just say something twee and move on.

The US is also a British colonial settlement and should not exist. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand too. Fuck off Nazi scum🤡

Can you read?

“Only the establishment of equal rights and democracy for all will end Zionism’s inherent racism and create peace for all who call the Middle East home.”

And the accusation of disingenuity (“say something twee and move on”) is hilarious, considering that in such a short comment you’ve offered a red herring, a non sequitur, an ad hominem attack, and equivocation… about a piece of writing by someone who, actually, writes rather frequently on these topics.

Which, y’know, would be the opposite of moving on.

Enjoy your week!

Here’s the thing. Even people whose political systems you don’t like don’t deserve to be murdered and their children don’t deserve to be starved or live in constant fear of having bombs dropped on them when they sleep. That’s why there is such a concept as a “war crime.”

More people have starved to death in America than Gaza since the war started. And they are not trying to kill the Palestinian people, just Hamas, who have rejected a ceasefire to end the “genocide.”

Also, rockets have been shot randomly and indiscriminately into Israel for years. Even when Hamas claimed to have no food, they had rockets. Sometimes they even hit their own hospitals

“Political systems you don’t like” - you mean Islamist fascism and avowed genocidal ambition to wipe out another country completely and its people? That “political system”?

You’re a fucking disgusting little useful idiot.

Hilarious. I can read. You can't think.

The reason I started with Islamism and Palestinianism is because twee racist Western poseurs like @Joe Wrote never acknowledge what it is that Islamists want -- which is neither democracy nor human rights.

There is equally rights and democracy within Israel -- for all its 10 million citizens which include 2 million Muslims and over 7 million Arabs. But no country is required to allow itself to be swamped by those who wish to destroy it. Which is what @Joe Wrote wants, or i think he does. As a "socialist" Joe is used to living in denial, fantasy, and delusion. He also lives safely over the horizon, so the cost of error is mine, not his, to bear.

So... Israel is scared that the people whose children are being burned alive might be a little upset with them? The people who are being destroyed might have some negative feelings about the people destroying them? Maybe Israel can try a "stop burning children alive" strategy for a while and see if that starts to smooth things over.

Hilarious. Another non-thinker. What is it about @Joe Wrote that he attracts so many feebs?

Israel has been trying to be left alone since before Israel existed, without success, including multiple attempts to make peace. The Islamist lunatics just keep insisting on killing and ethnically cleansing jews. They prioritize that over land, over a state, and over Palestinians. Their priorities should be re-examined.

Maybe the brave rapey resistance warriors could stop kidnapping babies and murdering them with their bare hands, right? Right?

Tell me where you have any empirical evidence this is happening outside of a Zionist media outlet and I’ll buy you a cookie.

Americans along with most western countries have been indoctrinated by Zionism. Zionists and Christian Zionists have infiltrated governments and institutions worldwide. Putting everyone, including Jews in danger of Fascist takeover.

Don’t the majority of Palestinians still support Hamas? Your so-called “genocide” will end the second Hamas lays down its arms and releases the hostages. They could even have another little parade where they put on the uniforms they never wear in battle and ululate. Make sure to bring the whole family!

Well, this what’s known as “Losing a war” (you started), there’s no evidence for ethnic cleansing, GeNoCide (undertaken by Israel at least - there’s plenty of evidence the Palestinians committed a genocidal slaughter), or forced displacement or using hunger as a military strategy.

You can’t just make up definitions for words that already exist, like amnesty international.

Presumably, if the “fact” many Israelis - having suffered under indiscrimate bombing, suicide attacks by bomb, knife or vehicle - advocate war against genocidal terrorist groups, upsets you then you’ll be outraged by the documented fact over 70% of Palestinians approve of Ham ass and the 7 October massacre, right? Right?

Did you think that the genocidal murder, mutilation and kidnapping is “what decolonization looks like y’all”? One in which “ordinary” Palestinians took part, those who weren’t looking after Yazidi sex slaves at least.

Using selective words from dead “zionists” - you should just start saying “Jews” you’re not fooling anyone - to depict Israel’s existence as inherently colonial and racist, is, well, racist. And profoundly historically illiterate.

It was the Arabs who wanted - ever since 1948 - to annihilate the Jews and erase Israel from the planet. And they tried valiantly to finish what the Nazis started but also failed and decided the better course of action was to make peace. Why haven’t the Palestinians? Why do they think genocidal Islamist fascism will work?

Why haven’t the Palestinians put forward any peace initiatives? And this daft bastard thinks a Palestinian state would mean Iran would just suddenly stop trying to annihilate Israel and a Palestinian state would be a progressive and equitable state where women and gay people and Christians and Jewish people would all live harmoniously? Lol lol lol
