A famous television producer in Israel has come under intense scrutiny following the uncovering of a series of inflammatory social media posts in which he called for a “Holocaust” against the people of Gaza.
Elad Barashi, who has worked in the Israeli entertainment industry for several years, sparked outrage after posting on X: “Good morning, let there be a Shoa (Holocaust) in Gaza.”
In another post, he wrote, “I can’t understand the people here in the State of Israel who don’t want to fill Gaza with gas showers… or train cars… and finish this story! Let there be a Holocaust in Gaza.”
Zionism and immigration started before Balfour ever wrote something down.
When Balfour wrote the declaration the British Empire didn’t even have control over Palestine. The declaration was an attempt to use the Zionist movement for the British Empire’s ambitions in the region.
You’re completely ignoring the fact that the British followed through on their promises of Zionism.
Or deflecting from it.
As soon as the British took over, in the first two years, more Jewish settlers arrived in Palestine than had in the previous two decades. And those two years were instantly eclipsed by the next two.
This was a deliberate colonization effort, complete with laws that blatantly favored Jewish settlers over the Palestinian natives.
A Jewish settlers could go to the British and simply say that they wanted Palestinian land, and the British would help evict the natives. (Okay, they had to be slightly more creative than that, usually lying about land deals, but everyone knew there was no deal or real land dispute)
Is it any wonder that the Palestinians started fighting back?
