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.

    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.

      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.
