I grew up on a jewish settlement with goons just like these. Racism taught to them by religion and nationalism. Not too far off from a Nazi youth upbringing the way we talked about eradicating Palestinians.

As a part jewish person I am thankful that people like you exist. People, and especially people that grew around it, should talk more about how dangerous this virulent nationalist ideology is and how much it resembles the nazi ideology in Germany.

Russians invading and annexing crimea: ETHNIC CLEANSING

Israelis invading and annexing parts of palestine: ✨ settling

Both are bad.

Shameless media is a cancer

If Europe cares so much about Ukraine having its lands annexed and illegally ocuppied by Russia I'm sure it will care about Palestine being in the same situation... am I right? Am I right?

Deplorable.

There were some unconfirmed reports that the reason Hamas was able to do so much damage is because 3 battalions that were supposed to guard the border with Gaza were moved to the west bank to protect these illegal settlements.

The audacity to continue doing this shit while their country is still trying to recover from the biggest terrorist attack in their history is just unbelievable.

Emboldened by their shitstain leader.

It's a feedback loop.

The more the government supports this, the more far right extremists immigrate and vote for stuff like this to happen.

Lots of Jewish people don't support Israeli actions, but they don't have a say unless they take Israeli citizenship.

So you get a constant stream of far right extremists who aren't tired of constant war.

Meanwhile the last time Gaza got to vote was 17 years ago. When most current residents if Gaza weren't even born yet old enough to vote.

Also there has been a huge growth of vote for the far-right in Israel over a span of decades because the highly-educated types with Western values who more likely to have a Western kind of principles or even be lefties, have 1 or 2 kids like people in the West do, whilst the ultra-orthodox who are the most racist and far-right of all have lots of kids.

It's 'funny' (but not in a "haha" way) because the reason for not making the Palestinians become Israelis when their land was occupied was that they had lots of children which would, in a democratic nation, end up electing the "wrong kind of people".

OK lock all these people in a room with Hamas. We could solve two problems at once really. The world wouldn't miss either of those groups.

Holy shit please

You won’t hear about this on the major networks.
