Like a… Pogrom?
A big genocidal pogrom. The biggest pogrom.
Wow it really is easy to make it sound like something Trump would say isn’t it?
Well except he has the vocabulary of a 4th grader and pogrom isn’t likely in it.
I hope I live to see Israel, in its current form, entirely destroyed. I want to believe that there are consequences to being this evil.
Its a noble dream. But for Israel to ever face justice their largest and fiercest backer - the nation that is often the only one that votes to protect them in UN votes, and the one that has almost singlehandedly turned them into a military superpower in the middle east - the USA - must get its house in order first.
There is zero chance of much changing on Israel while Republicans or the conservative wing of the Democrats are in power, and especially while Trump is president. That’s not to say it can’t change, but there are multiple hurdles: so, I hope you live a long time and see a lot of positive changes throughout your life.
The US doesn’t need to “get it’s house in order”.
It also needs to (and seems on the path to) be destroyed in its current form.
With global trade inevitably shifting away from the unstable US, Military embarrassments against small impoverished organizations like the houthis, and diplomacy entirely built around leveraging those 2 things…it seems much more likely the US turns into a nuclear armed former superpower than that it maintains it’s global status and changes to actually use said status for good.
The US doesn’t need to “get it’s house in order”.

This is just semantics, those two statements essentially describe the same thing.
I was explaining why Israel is in the position its in now and what’s needed to change it at present - hard to see into the future.
The foundational legal and institutional structure of the USA is a good model for democracy. There is no perfect model. What needs to happen there is stuff that progressives have been asking for decades: expansion of the supreme court to proportionally match the size of the congress - which any democrat president could do if they weren’t cowards. Then repeal Citizen United to get the billion dollar political slush funds quashed, and a massive anti-corruption campaign to prosecute all those who have broken the law over the last few decades. The US is backsliding hard towards a Russian kleptocracy, controlled by billionaires and their useful idiots - but it can be mended if laws are enforced. A lot of work, but to wipe the slate clean and start again with a new model would be far far more work and no guarantee that it’s even an improvement at the end.
The US is witholding funds to the UN. Pretty soon, the world will just move on without them.
This makes me think about Handmade’s Tale. I’ve been watching it a lot recently and it makes you wonder what happened to Israel in this timeline. I’d guess Israel’s support from Gilead would have dropped to zero. They were likely fucked given that the Jewish people here were deported and put on boats that never actually made it to Israel. Just a random thought brought about by your comment.

He should have been more eloquent. I’m pretty sure there’s an ancient word that means “to entirely destroy by fire”… If he had used that instead, it would be more clear what he means.
It’s not even news anymore to see these shitty blood-glutted war criminals’ gloating, completely conveniently forgetting the hypocrisy. Perhaps we need to simply call this what it is, by this man’s very definition here: it is a holocaust of Gaza.
Israel is an evil country. Israel is the country with the most war criminals per capita. If the Israeli people do not do something significant in the coming months, they will be complicit in the atrocities committed by the IDF.
Leave where? The Mediterranean?
Like blocking the vent on a pressure cooker, this is no doubt going to blow up in their face.
They’re perfectly fine with that; a permanent state of emergency and ever-looming existential enemy is what fascists need to justify their own police state and crackdowns on freedom.
They need to be taught the same hard lesson Germany, Italy, and Japan had to be taught 80 years ago. Genocidal fascism has no place on Earth.
Pretty sure they are leaving already. But just in coffins like Israel wanted.
With widespread Kahanism, they did not learn everything from their past.

And go where, jackass?
Presumably either Egypt or the West Bank. Well… Until Israel decides they want that too and start bombing the shit out of that.
Then Zion will not have victory.
Israel is the modern day Nazi regime and we need to stop mincing words about it.
Thats why our nazi president is making sure it’s illegal to say bad things about the Israeli government, like knows like
The worst one, but not the only one
No doubt.
Oh? Is Israel finally letting Palestinians have free travel so that they actually can leave or is “leave in great numbers” a euphemism for the ongoing genocide?
There is a word in ancient Greek which has the precise meaning “to entirely destroy” by fire. Maybe we need to start calling this what it is: a holocaust of Gaza.
They can leave in bodybags…
I would say genocide. It’s Israel. Come on now.
As would I, hence I did. But the quote was from an Israeli official.I think I might have read the comment I replied to wrong. It seems to me now they were choosing the second option of my original comment.
This is fucking evil manifest.
Yeah, it’s Israel.
