Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells i24 he feels he is on a “historic and spiritual mission,” and that he is “very” attached to the vision of Greater Israel, which includes areas slated for a future Palestinian state and possibly also areas that are part of present-day Jordan and Egypt.

The leader of a country referring to it as "Greater (country)" is rarely a good sign.

    No spiritual mission requires starving babies to death.

    Fuck Netanyahu in the ass with a smart bomb.

    Genocide through bombardment is the same as genocide through a gas chamber.

    Fuck Israel. “Never again,” my ass.

    Netanyahu says he’s on a ‘historic and spiritual mission,’

    So was Hitler.

    Committing genocide to steal land that's going to get its shit rocked by climate change and probably be borderline uninhabitable wasteland in 30 years.

    The irony is that all this military action that they are waging is only making it worse.

    This is actual fucking madness.

    Also, the fact that the ultra orthodox don't fight, don't study anything but the Torah, and breed like rabbits, is going to gut the army, and populate Israel with an ignorant defenseless population.

    Israel is doomed. The sad part is that it is dragging millions down with them.

    It contains the very seeds within for its own internal self-destruction. Its pretty badass the Ultra Orthodox figured out how to gypp the Jews

    The "ultra orthodox' is an actual Jew who understands their faith. It's ironic really how what they say means very little in the Jewish state

    Modern Israel is a non functional regional fire chucker that attacks all its neighbours. The ultra orthodox' Jews are often decent people, most of Israeli society is absolutely devoid of humanity so in comparison the real Jew is infinitely better.

    As an Egyptian I would be thrilled if Israel tried to invade. Even our Zionist stooges wouldn't be able to ignore that.

    They would ignore that and Egypt would get egypt would get its shit rocked. Not to the fault of the Egyptian people but your govt and military are fully in bed with Israel and are a disgrace to the ummah, as are most sunni nations. The real heroes are the resistance

    Sure, he just doesn't define specific interpretation of that greater Israel. Obviously for him it's endless retention of power by any means possible, while avoiding any responsibility.

    I don't think Hamas is very fond of the guy starving and murdering them. I know it's fashionable on Lemmy to portray them as Machiavellian actors who only care about power, but like these are living, breathing people too and nobody enjoys getting carpet bombed.

    Edit: I misunderstood that.

    It's a gross sentiment to still see when we are years into a genocide. No different from pinning blame on Jewish resistance fighters under Nazi Germany.

    Not the same thing. Israel is definitely in the wrong for committing genocide but antisemitism is still real and a lot of people have it.

    I mean, every resistance organization in history hated the absolute guts of the people oppressing them. It's technically a bad thing, but it's also unavoidable. Irish paramilitaries during the Troubles tended to hate the shit out of Protestants for example, and I'd bet good money plenty Jewish resistance fighters hated Germans as an ethnic group. It's unfortunately a very natural human reaction and in no way unique to Palestinians.

    Genocide is infinitely more important than "antisemitism" when the "Jewish state" calls anything going against them as anti Semitic. If you wanna know why the world is absolutely gonna hate Jews in the younger generation, it has absolutely nothing to do with with colonial European ideas and more that, never again meant, learn from Hitler and become worse than him and cry antisemitism as some sort of protected victim class.

    You're extrapolating the actions of a fascist minority to all Jews. There's a word for that!

    I'm not extrapolating anything, on the words of Israel and every western government. I'm not saying I agree and I'm well aware that many Jews are anti Zionist. I don't give a shit about your word, it means fucking nothing when kids are getting starved and shot to death st Israeli led aid drop points.

    Of course he was never going to stop. If his goal is to actually cause the annihilation of Jews by worldwide hatred then mission accomplished.

    He is validating every fucked up right wing anti semite stereotype.

    Obama contributed to this. He campaigned on opposing settlement expansion, supporting a two-state solution, and acknowledging Palestinian suffering, but in office he largely upheld U.S. support for Israel, backing down on settlement freezes, defending Israeli assaults on Gaza, vetoing UN actions, and signing a record military aid package.

    Yea I totally remember when instead of continuing Israel’s state, you know he moved the capital and all of this as well… cause no dems have ever done this but you still need a boogie man…remember Biden’s genocidal plan? No you don’t cause you made it up all along while this shit was waiting on the wings… all it takes is a simple mind which here we have… https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2025/1/28/trumps-genocidal-plan-to-clean-out-gaza-was-there-all-along

    But yea both sides

    If you can't accept legitimate criticism of your side, you're in a cult.

    I'm not a republican, I'm a socialist Palestinian. Biden did start and enthusiastically support the genocide that Trump is finishing.

    Legitimate criticism is fine, absolutes making both sides the same isn’t helpful.

    Absolutism works both ways and you calling others cultists doesn’t help you. In fact it perpetuates the very genocide you claim to oppose.

    Here we are and you’re making enemies of the genocide’s enemy…
