    Point is that if this had happened anywhere outside Israel and the remark would be towards Israel, there would have been a huge outcry, and this guy would have been arrested, but now I am not even sure he will be removed from the government or returned silently after some time.

    Justice for me but not for thee.

      There have been Russian politicians defending using nukes in Ukraine, though not actually wanting to nuke a city of 2 million people.

      Then again, the Russians are nowhere as racist towards Ukranians and actually want those in the occupied Ukranian territory to become Russians, whilst the Israelis want all Palestinians to die or to leave their land, not to integrate.

    …am I misunderstanding the distance between israel and gaza or am I misunderstanding how nukes work? This sounds like a really bad plan unless I’m wrong about something.

      Not an expert by any means, but nukes can get smaller than one would think. The fallout would be the most dangerous thing for Israel, in both the physical and political sense.

      I feel like it’s a temporary formality to avoid backlash. I’m sure this is one of Bibi’s top staff.

      He’s there to test the waters.

      That’s gotta be the most pro-genocide comment section I’ve ever seen. I know it’s an Israeli publication, but goddamn there’s some disturbing shit there

    He has been censured by the Israeli government and stripped him of his ability to be in briefing meetings. Many in the Knesset are also now working to have him removed. The prime minister immediately released a statement that this was completely inappropriate and contrary to the way in which the IDF operates in accordance with the rules of armed conflicts.

      The Isreali Minisitry of Intelligence had literally drafted up an options plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza and deport everyone.

      Let’s not congratulate Isreal on drawing the line at nukes.

      …and would be completely self-destructive. This would be like New York City nuking Hoboken.

      Or like uptown Manhattan nuking downtown Manhattan.

    Is Gaza not considered desert? Should they move to the Negev?

    Prime Minister of reality suggest Israel should move to fuck all. So when someone suggest nukeing Israel and killing every last one, I don’t wanna hear shit.

      …or hear me out, we agree that “nuking them and killing every last one” is something to always decry, regardless of who “them” is. The right response here is disgust, not “alright so antisemites get a pass”.

          In that case, I’m assuming you condemn the government that beheads babies and support the government that at least puts in effort to avoid collateral damage and civilian casualties?
