      Does this post title show up with the word “zionist” halfway through on your end? It’s not present in the source headline. Not sure if there’s some kind of edit sync issue going on.

        I did not see “Zionist” at the time I commented, but it definitely is there now. Time for a new top level comment.

    Why are you booing him, he’s right!

    Nobody seems willing to stop them. We can recognise Palestine all day long, but it just means they’re genociding another country rather than their own.

    Deut 20:16 But in the towns of these peoples, which YHWH your God is giving you as a heritage, you shall not let a soul remain alive. 20:17 No, you must proscribe them—the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites—as YHWH your God has commanded you.

    We do not allow editorialized headlines. The current headline does not include “zionist” as a descriptor.

    "hoto: Moshe Mizrahi

    ‘Gaza is being erased, all of it will be Jewish,’ minister says"

    Please revert to the original or we’ll have to remove it.

      This is a deliberate tactic.

      I do feel like probably your strategy of just leaving the post alone instead of taking the bait and removing it is (in all seriousness) the right response to this.

      (Which, of course, makes it hilarious that in the past you’ve been absolutely fanatical about applying the rules as they are supposedly written, but all of a sudden you are apparently using common sense and making exceptions now, when failing to apply common sense might result in a bad look for you.)

      You choose the most interesting hills to die on…

      And no, that’s not a compliment.

    As an absolute novice on the situation: what about a 2 state solution, but Israel and the Palestinians swap ownership of their current claims to land and infrastructure.

    So my natural reaction to such statements like this when they aren’t Jewish is the want to lash them to a cross and possibly decimate their family if I’m feeling spicy, so is it anti-semetic to still want to do it if they are a Jew? Cause I really want to crucify this piss weasel and commit decimation apon his kin.

    “the government is racing toward erasing Gaza. Thank God we are erasing this evil. All of Gaza will be Jewish.”

    Sounds similar to something in history but I can’t quite place it.

    “the Reich is racing toward erasing the Jewish vermin. Thank God we are erasing this evil. All of Germany will be Aryan.”

    It probably sounds better in the original German.

    Whatever you think about Israel and Palestine, this is wrong. Erasing people in the name of your religion or ethnicity is wrong.

      No, you are wrong. Nazis should be erased. You throw away rotten food to stop contamination of other fresh ones

      Religion is easily one of the most horrendous and harmful inventions humans have ever created. It’s devastating that children are indoctrinated into moronic religions before they develop any kind of critical thinking skills.

      Child abuse tbh

    Eliyahu, who previously faced international backlash early in the war for suggesting a nuclear strike on Gaza was not off the table […]

    What a fucking idiot. Gaza has the area of a medium sized city. If you nuke Gaza its like nuking Israel.
