Israel’s new defense minister has said security forces would no longer apply administrative detention orders to Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank, and thus only Palestinian suspects can be held indefinitely without trial.

"Never again!" they cried, until they decided they should do it again.

As someone who lives in "Israel", there is no question about it

"ISRAEL" IS AN APARTHEID REGIME THAT EXISTS ONLY THROUGH MILITARY FORCE

that exists only through military force

Well obviously. Without their military we would get to witness holocaust 2

Well that's a relief... instead we get to watch that same military pull a genocide in Gaza.

"What about.."

How about condemn murdering people because of their religion independend of what the religion in question is? It's not a binary choice.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It's indeed not a binary choice.

I can easily condemn Hamas and Hezbollah too for the terroristic organisations they are.

But I can also acknowledge the irony in saying that without Israel's military the holocaust 2 would happen while that same military is attempting to pull off that same thing in Gaza.

Israel has had the military capacity to literally flatten Gaza and the West Bank for decades and kill every single Palestinian. They haven't. If they wanted to do a genocide they wouldn't need to "attempt" - they could just do it.

Hamas would do it if they could. They have stated that they would. Not just the military and political leaders but all jews as they displayed on Oct. 7th.

That's what we're doing

That would be horrible because Jews are mostly white and Palestinians aren't. Clearly your hypothetical Holocaust is worth committing an actural Holocaust to "prevent". Have you considered that (as a Jew) the Israeli government and military is actively bad for Jewish ppl. They're actively censoring Jewish voices who disagree with them (Bibi is trying to shut down Haaretz). Therefore as a Jew I do not believe that Jewish and Muslim workers should fight but rather all the workers should unite against the capitalist classes that truly oppress them.

Jews are mostly white and Palestinians aren’t.

Careful... You are suggesting the European Jews that settled there are not semites, because they don't look like semites. It is anti-semitic to use DNA tests to prove most Israelis are not semites. Surely US law will soon call for you to be deported to Iran where all of your propaganda funding must originate.

Nya, I live in occupied "Israel" :3

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That's what we're witnessing now.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw 3 points 15 hours ago

Good thing that shit opinion is free, otherwise I'd want my money back. With interest for having to read something so idiotic.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 2 points 14 hours ago

Without?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I'm more surprised it ever applied for settlers.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 20 hours ago

It may have 'applied' but was it ever applied I wonder
