    TIL opposing genocide and getting in line with 146 out of 193 UN members is “out of touch and destructive”.

      I guess genocide is base of Palestiian politics, not Israel. Israel is just fighting a war now, and they did a lot to avoid it.
      UN, just another example of “out of touch and destructive”

        Israel is just fighting a war now, and they did a lot to avoid it.

        That’s just not true, though. Netanyahu’s goal was to intentionally provoke war with Hamas through acts such as West Bank settlement - his government is the most aggressively pro-settlement in recent history - to boost popularity within his far right coalition who reject a two-state solution and want to see Israel annex the West Bank. Netanyahu is being tried for corruption and desperately needs to keep the far right of his coalition on-side to avoid going to prison. By remaining in power, he can attempt to change Israel’s judicial system to stack it in his favour to give himself the best possible chance of avoiding imprisonment.

        Imagine punching somone in the face for decades, they strike back and you bawl abiut them starting it.

        It’s like a domestic violence sufferer finally striking back after years of abuse.

        genocide is base of Palestiian politics, not Israel.

        Israel has been a genocidal state for decades. They’ve just become more “mask off” recently thanks to the casus belli provided to them by an event which anyone could have told you was an inevitable result of Israeli policy. (Policy that literally included propping up Hamas specifically because they’re more extreme than PA and thus were more likely to destabilise things, which Netanyahu had no interest in.)

        UN, just another example of “out of touch and destructive”

        Love how you just make up irrelevant bullshit because it’s convenient to your genocidal mindset.

        Note that I didn’t say anything about what the UN thinks. I mentioned that the vast majority of countries in the world recognise Palestine. I just used UN membership as a proxy for what counts as a country. A convenient but imperfect definition (for example, Palestine and Taiwan).

          any support for you claims? Israel done a lot trying to live in peace with Palestinian, and it is ends up with them intentionally killing civilian. What you can do about enemy whose sole position is “Kill all Jews” ? They at war now. Israel do not genocide Palestinian, it wedges a war. There are plenty of arabs and muslims living normal live in Israel. Only very some need to be cordoned in prison city, to stop some them from killing.

            I admire your boldness in calling the UN “out of touch and destructive” while not responding to any arguments. No the Liberal party are right, not the rest of the world. Do a basic google search next time, here, I did one for you:

                  You’re correct, the founder and CEO of DDG—Gabriel Weinberg—is Jewish, but not Israeli. I couldn’t find any source of him commenting on Israel’s invasion of Gaza.
