Israel’s foreign minister has said that an arms embargo on his country would lead to the elimination of the Israeli state and “a second Holocaust”.

Gideon Saar was speaking on Tuesday at an international conference on antisemitism in Jerusalem.

    Maybe, just maybe, if you wanted to exist peacefully with your neighbors you’d stop indiscriminately bombing civilians and violating their civil rights.

    Those people deserve to live in peace just as much as you. Stop being the aggressor. It’s not fucking hard.

      Go educate yourself on how Israel came into being in the first place.

      It wasn’t through peacefully asking Palestinians to share the land but by three groups, who gleefully wore the title of “terrorists” that bombed & killed their way into terrifying the populace.

      It wasn’t the Palestinians that planted a bomb in the King David Hotel that killed 96 in 1947. It wasn’t Palestinians that carried out atrocities such as throwing babies into ovens in Deir Yassin and Tantura.

      Israel was born out of collaboration with colonisers & imperialists, through selling out other Jews who opposed zionism, through a thousand acts of indiscriminate terrorism against the indigenous population and through an apartheid system since.

      Bbbbbut what about October 7th?!!!

      It’s history equivalence is the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising but Israel ain’t the oppressed fighting back.

      Honestly not not sure if this is a pro-israel or pro-palistine comment. It reads like a condemnation of Israel’s current action OR Israeli bullshit to justify their genocidal actions.

          Ethnic-Russians who lived on the same land for hundreds of years were targeted since or around 2014 - Ukrainian plans even bombing them, thugs beating them up, some hung by rope around the neck to die and some set on fire…since or before 2014. Russia was patient for manyyyy years, but couldn’t get the international community to act on behalf of Russians living in the Dobass or s.e-Ukrainian regions.

            Those were Russia and the Russia-backed “separatists” doing that in the areas the controlled. There’s not a shred of evidence of Ukraine doing anything like that, and plenty of evidence of Russia doing this.

            If you were told otherwise, you were lied to. Putin loves telling these sort of lies in order to mislead people lile you.

      but, Jews are god’s chosen people and their Talmud says that Jews are humans, but the rest of us are not human, but are just animals.
