Israeli foreign minister says arms embargoes will lead to 'second Holocaust' and end of Israel
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.
The eliminiation of the Israeli state doesnt have to cause a second holocaust. Just go back to where you, your parents and your grandparents lived before you invaded other peoples homes.
But it's way easier to kill some people in the Middle East and give their land away than taking actual responsibilty for the Holocaust.
And more profitable 💰
I'm firmly against the Palestinian genocide, but, isn't this a little ridiculous? Shouldn't we just focus on ending the killings and stopping further colonization?
Like, as a 4th generation Canadian, do I need to go back to Ireland to make up for my great great grandparent's generation's gross history of colonial genocide?
You don't need to evict Jewish people to end Zionism.
go back to Ireland
Sis... do you think Ireland had colonies?
Thats just flatly not realistic. Polling shows that Israelis on average are entitled, racist and violent. A plurality of them want every non jewish person expelled from Israel, citizen or not. And 47% of them want every Gazan killed, no matter their innocence. about 80% think the way the war is being executed in Gaza is just and should continue. They are fine with war crimes.
Its easy to conclude that they will not live in peace with anyone if they feel they control any state apparatus.
I'm willing to compromise.
The people born there can stay, but they have to become Palestinian.
"Does israel have a right to exist?"
The answer to this is: did nazi Germany have a right to exist?
I wonder if we can find a new way of describing the notion of "Israel existing." It seems opponents believe we mean killing the occupants of Israel or (somehow removing the area entirely) rather than reforging the state itself. It's not like we don't want the geographical region to continue existing.
That’s some expert-level DARVO right there.
Tired of the israeli government using jews as a meat shield.
it certainly hurts Jews all over the world - many of whom are also against what is being done to Palestinians.
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.
Palestinians deserve peace a lot more than their colonizers.
Not everyone believes in moral desert.
breaking into someone's home and stealing it doesn't make you their neighbor
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.
Israel needs to stop bombing children. Full stop.
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.
They can all fuck right off. There is so much I'd like to say but I cannot because I will be accused of inciting violence. Funny how Right wing and zionist incitement is allowed on social media, but when anyone left leaning says anything immediate bans. I'm hoping something of biblical proportions happens in Israel. Maybe it will turn into a self fulfilling prophesy, anyway, these are words, I can't encourage anyone other than any gods out there to rain sulfer and all that. I sympathise with the left wing Jews in Israel, but unfortunately, the genocide continues and this is their governement. Much like Maga now is, like it or not, the face of America, well Genocide is now the face of Israel.
Nice joke
Well not to split hairs, but seeing as they are currently perpetrating Second Holocaust, it would have to be more like Third Holocaust. But the problem with the Israeli comments is that unarmed civilians aren’t very effective at holocausts.
"If you dont fund my genocide I'll definitely be killed, because theres no way I'd stop my ethnic cleansing or give Palestinians their land and homes back."
Not having an arms embargo is allowing the 2nd Holocaust right now.
Cry wolf again.
if their mouths are moving, they are lying. In their culture, getting people to believe your lies makes you a genius not a criminal or con man.
"This latte is cold, this is a second holocaust, and antisemitic."
Yes, clearly Israel is using their weapons for defensive purposes, and if more weapons arent provided (for um defense, or course), All Israelis are under threat of annhialation.
