The Israel that I meet every day is made up of people who want to forge a path towards peace and security for all
Since the beginning of the war, I’ve met Arab-Jewish civil society organisations that exemplify this spirit, providing assistance across diverse communities.
Reminder that like 80% of israelis support the Genocide in Gaza.
there is also more than 70% Israeli public support for a large-scale military operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon
Uh-oh.
Moreover, they don’t want to witness further bloodshed in Gaza; instead they want to see the elimination of the murderous terrorism that declared war on Israel and slaughtered us mercilessly on that terrible day.
And Palestine wants its country back, the one you stole. They want to see the end of the murderous terrorism and genocide that invaded them so many decades ago, that every year kills their children and parents.
Thousands of Israeli citizens have taken to the streets, advocating for immediate elections, a deal for the hostages, and a more accountable leadership.
Where are the protests against the genocide Israel commits?
Why do you only protest against what’s affecting you and not what evils you are doing?
We must not allow Netanyahu – who is accused of criminal activity including fraud, bribery and breach of trust (he denies the allegations), who made dangerous alliances with extremists to form his government, and has even attempted to turn Israel into a de facto dictatorship through his government’s controversial attempt to pass “judicial reform” to dictate our relations and divide us.
You voted him into power multiple times over decades, you let him do this, don’t try to pin it all on him. As if Israel is the victim here and Bibi rubbed a magic lamp to get into his position of power against Israel’s wishes.
Israeli citizens are the ones thwarting Netanyahu’s authoritarianism, we are the ones holding him back in this moment.
Israeli citizens are the ones committing the massacres. It’s not magical robot ghosts marching in uniforms, firing tank shells, and raining bombs on Palestine.
Imagine a German during WW2 saying they were the real victims and the ones fighting Hitler. This is the revolting attitude on display in this opinion piece.
What are you talking about?? This person explicitly stated she did not vote for Netanyahu. She is part of the coalition that is directly opposed to Netanyahu and his military strategy. What the hell is she supposed to do as a single person. What is the point of your comment? You really felt the need to grandstand or something?
I’m talking all of Israel. The Israel she is saying doesn’t support this, didn’t vote it, excuse etc.
What the hell is she supposed to do as a single person?
She could start by going back in time and not pressing “send” on her poorly-disguised pro-israeli fud mischaracterizing israel’s genocide as a war and israels starvation of its citizens as Hamas’ fault. Then, after deleting her zionism-apologist garbage, she should stand up, drop her drawers, and kiss her own ass.

Israel was never a country either. Yet here we are.

Even if there wasn’t, Israel was created by jews that came from all over the world where a lot of people was already living on it, while current palestinian are decendents of pre-israel population
some jews managed to stay and survive in israel for thousands of years.
in addition to jews who came back to israel throughout the years like in the 1600’s, 1800’s and later on also in the 1900’s before israel’s rebirth.
The word palestine just spawned from the ether, not relating to anywhere or anyone.
That’s just semantics though.
People lived there, they had houses and fields and orchards and olive plantations and businesses, they lived normal, free lives with their friends and families.
All that has been taken away from them. I don’t care if you call it “owning a country” or not, the reality is that their lands and livelihoods were stolen using violence.
I don’t know
this is clarity you could stand to have more often
I believe in a pre-1948 Israel.
“The state of Israel is in the midst of a difficult war…” Stopped reading.
But have you considered the pitched and complex conflict between [an advanced first world military] and [starving children]
And so begins the inevitable “this is actually just Bibi’s fault, not us poor Israelis!” PR spin to try and get people to sympathise with the colonizers who will just elect an even more racist and evil genocidaire to do their bidding.
What do you think an Israeli can do against their tyrannical government? There are already mass protests in their country for him to step down, give up their settlements in West Bank etc…
Lmao mass protests for a change in government whilst still flying Israeli flags and supporting the invasion of Rafah.
I can tell you what I expect Israelis to do when their government is committing a genocide in their name, but you won’t like it
Netanyahu is on the wrong side of history… and so are you. There are a lot of assholes in Isreal but most people everywhere are just regular folks. You’re only a few steps away from shouting about “cultural bolshevism”. Don’t generalize by race, it’s what allows Likud to convince Isrealis that genocide is justified.
Yeah the poor oppressed Israelis, who still back invading the last enclave of relative safety in the Gaza strip in their vain attempt to secure POWs that Hamas has already offered to swap for a permanent ceasefire.
Zionism is sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind.
Was all of America defined by Trump?
Never said Israel was defined by Netanyahu, I said that Israel is defined by Zionism, which persists even if the figurehead changes.
As for your naff rhetorical, Liberal Americans ARE defined by the colonialism, rampant capitalism, and disregard for the environment inherent in the system they support.
I believe in an Israel called Germany.
Give them Germany.
This is what should have happened, since lots of Berlin stores and apartments were stolen from Jewish people.
Although you have to understand that no Jewish person would take back their property in Germany after the war. Not only was it in cities that had been bombed out, their German neighbors had recently locked them up in concentration camps. Any sane Jewish person would want to get the fuck out of Germany.
But maybe they should have gotten their property back after 10 years or so.
Dissolve this awful ethnostate experiment of a country
I believe in no israel. No peace will be achieved until Palestinians get every inch of their land back.
Your stance is as extremist as Ben Gvir and his ilk who say the same exact thing except replace “Israel” with “Palestine”
Don’t pretend to be an advocate of peace
I am not, nor am I pretending to be, an advocate for peace.
edit: typo
Your end result would bring peace to the Palestinians.
We have a saying here that boils down to “What was taken by force will only be returned by force”.
Israel is killing an entire group of people for the actions of a few. In the short term they will be demonized, over generations people may say what choice did they have if not forget what happened altogether.
