An extremist Israeli lawmaker in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition publicly advocated for killing “30 to 40” people in Gaza each night, comments that surfaced on Sunday, and were quickly shared by media outlets around the world.

[…]

“It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister," he said. “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night,” said the far-right Israeli lawmaker.

“Not just those who pose an immediate threat, there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people,” added Ben-Gvir.

"They're not even people" is definitely something some Nazis said about Jews.

'Eyyyooo, where the genocide deniers at? Love to hear the explanation for how this totally isn't genocidal intent.

Why do Zionist always behave exactly as you expect them to?

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

So eroupe comes up with the world genocide. Figure "if we gave it a legal framework then we can prevent it" At the same time push "Jewish Nationalist to Palestine" Pretend nothing is going on. Israeli use the exact wording of the definition outload and as is, to get rid of the Palestinians.

News agency are scared to call the definition a genocide and quote it as is.

They really think people who care enough to read news are stupid..

They think people who care enough to read new are either stupid, or can be bullied into silence. They have been mostly correct up until now, the tide is turning on this though, epstein isn't going away, there are parts of 'the right' that are very much against Israel, and not all because of bigotry as Israel's superfans claim about the anti zionist right, (and obviously they accuse the entire anti zionist left of being the same thing. But we believe them on the right while we defensively give credence to their bad faith bigotry accusations against the left (giving credence to the accusations to the masses as numerous studies have shown.))

We are played like a fiddle by these people, how could they not think we are stupid? We are, because we have no organization.

We should expect an increase of such shit as they get closer to their elections. Each pro-apartheid political party will try to position itself with respect to how the regime should perpetuate itself. The more "extremist" ones are going to try to cash in the explicit genocidal discourse of the last three years whereas some of the more "moderate" will try to walk some of it back, to the extent that it threatens the standing of Israeli apartheid with its allies.

The most dangerous ones are I think the pro-war "moderates" that have the air of respectability compared to Netanyahu but are also pushing for escalating war, eg with Turkey. But I might be completely wrong and the "extremist" factions might manage to pull a victory with really unforeseen escalatory results.

Israelis of conscience will be counted in the results of the anti-apartheid parties such as Hadash.
