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.
“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.

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.
Netanyahu would have to go back to Philadelphia
great, just what the US needs.
I accept your terms.
I’m willing to compromise.
The people born there can stay, but they have to become Palestinian.
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.
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.
The difference is that there are quite a lot of Palestinians alive today who had their homes stolen, and Israel keeps stealing more everyday. And they do it because they have always been allowed to keep what they stole in the past.
Yeah, so give Palestinians right of return. There’s plenty of land there to share. Make Israelis pay reparations.
Like how is the land I’m living on not functionally stolen? My entire country used to be Indigenous land, and it became as it is because it was “allowed” (forced).
The Jewish children who were born there aren’t colonists, and they shouldn’t have to suffer for their parents’ colonial acts.
The main imperative is to end the ongoing colonialism and genocide.
have you not seen the Greater IsraEl map? They plan to take farrrr more land, and will return nothing.
Yeah, so give Palestinians right of return.
That would require expelling a huge number of Israelis, given they literally live in stolen houses. One in every ten Israelis lives in illegal West Bank settlements
Make Israelis pay reparations.
That would require defeating Israel in a war.
Like how is the land I’m living on not functionally stolen?
It is, but at least you didn’t literally steal your literal house from a person who is still alive today…
The Jewish children who were born there aren’t colonists
And the Israeli colonists currently driving people out of their houses to take them over and have children there know that you think this, which is why they’re stealing land in such a way as to make a Palestine state impossible without kicking them out.
The main imperative is to end the ongoing colonialism and genocide.
Which is impossible while the illegal settlements remain.
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.
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.
Israel is basically a rich kid with a dad who bails him out for ramming people with his Ferrari on a main street and still wants people to feel bad about his trauma
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.
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.
“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.
Israel has a right to become Palestine again.
Generally I’m not interested in what Israel as the right to become. I would rather “Israel doesn’t have the right to not be Palestine” (phrased better, perhaps?)
Israel has to become something. It can’t stay the way it is.
Allowing it to become Palestine again is just the compromise position.
Good point. Still, “not having the right to exist” sounds to me – and more importantly, to those undecided on the issue – like it’s encouraging the destruction of the things that are in Israel, not the entity of Israel itself. Which is obviously not a take that’s likely to attract support.
That’s why I say it has a right to become Palestine. It will still exist, sort of, but in a revolutionary new form.
And Israelis can become Palestinians.
Assuming they aren’t just settlers that moved there recently to steal land, of course.
What Israel has a right to do is not relevant. America has the right to become part of Canada. Israel remaining as it is is the problem – and more to the point, the problem is that people don’t see that as the problem.
if the world was fair, that tract of land in the middle east would become palestine, jewish immigrants would be allowed to live there and have full citizenship and rights, but a nice chunk of territory would be carved out of central or eastern europe to make “settlerania”.
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.
Second holocaust?
Dude, you are committing the second holocaust, so that technically would be the third.
Having said that, aren’t you kind of the reason why that would happen in the first place? Israel has had more than enough opportunities to make peace with everyone around it a hundred times over and so far all it has done is investing in making sure that shit got worse, like actually funding Hamas so that they could fight Hamas harder.
You dug your own grave here, I won’t push you in it, but I also won’t cry for you if you decide to jump in it
