I think that Richard Dawkins' description of a 'death cult' could perfectly fit the Zionist Netanyahu government of Israel.

There is a rousing patriotic song by the founder of revisionist Zionism, Ze'ev Jabotinsky (1880-1940), the spiritual grand-grand-father of Netanyahu's Likud party.
The theme of the song is: "The Jordan river has two banks - this one is ours and that one too!". Three out of the song's four verses are insane crap. However, the third verse reads: "There shall live with plenty and in bliss The son of Arabia [i.e. Muslims], the son of Nazareth [i.e. Christians] and my son [i.e. Jews], for my flag is a flag of purity and honesty which will purify both banks of my Jordan [river]" This verse was abandoned and forgotten; purity and honesty have long been washed off the Israeli flag - and now as a result, everyone there lives in poverty and misery beyond hope, Jews included!

Alon, a truthful and most incisive article. Who would have thought that the 'New Fascism' would rise among the very people who were murdered and persecuted by the 'Old Fascism' of Nazi Germany. Only the most radical of supporters would deny what the Zionist Nazi's are doing to the people of Gaza, mass murder and genocide, on a scale not seen since WWII. The rest of the world is standing by and allowing this to happen before its very eyes.

Murder by the government and with significant support of the nation.
At this point, if Iran had a nuke and dropped it on Israel they'd be doing the planet a favour. Israel is a terrorist state openly bragging about its genocide, ethnic cleansing and starvation which is not targeting Hamas but the Palestinian people.

Dear Critic,
«At this point, if Iran had a nuke and dropped it on Israel they'd be doing the planet a favour.» At least half the population of Israel, my family included, are innocent hostages to the evil Israeli government (let alone Gazan and West-Bank prisoners in Israeli jails), just like about half the Gazans are innocent hostages of Hamas (let alone the Israeli hostages in Gaza). Now you advocate murdering at least 5 million innocent souls, whereas the total population of Gaza is only 2.1 million - are you any better than the Israeli government? Why not also nuke Myanmar to kill the ruling military Junta there? Oh, and not just Israelis will be killed by your suggested course of action, also ill and elderly Australians who would then fail to receive their medications, made in Israel!

I'm just saying I'm sick and tired of this festering scab on the planet and the decades of death and destruction, which will never end anyway.

Poll: Overwhelming majority of Jewish Israelis back expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza
http://www.newarab.com/news/poll-huge-majority-israelis-back-gaza-ethnic-cleansing "An overwhelming majority of Jewish Israelis support the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, aligning with the extremist Netanyahu government that has vowed to drive the Palestinians from their land. An online poll of more than 1,000 people found that 82% back the forced deportation of Gaza's 2.2 million residents. The survey was conducted in the first week of March by Israeli polling firm Geocartography on behalf of Penn State University. The poll also indicated high levels of hostility towards Arab Israelis, with more than half (56%) of respondents voicing support for the deportation of the 2 million Arabs who hold Israeli citizenship. Even more alarmingly, a significant number of people expressed support for committing genocide against the Palestinians, with almost half of those surveyed agreeing that the Israeli military should reenact the story of the Israelites' capture of Jericho." Even an Ex-Israeli PM says Israel is committing war crimes. http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025-05-27/ty-article-opinion/.premium/enough-is-enough-israel-is-committing-war-crimes/00000197-0dd6-df85-a197-0ff64a5c0000 Israel is just a warmongering nation full of hate filled people, that support inflicting murder and starvation on the Palestinians largely without conscience, and the polls prove it. And who said I supported killing anyone. I'd give you all 7 days to run or paddle for your lives. Run to the neighbours that you've been murdering for decades or build a raft and paddle away, or swim with the sharks or stay and be nuked. I'd just as soon as see the whole place turned into toxic wasteland of molten glass, than more decades and centuries of death, for no purpose.

Dear Critic,
I am yet to find the original survey regarding that "82%" - pity all references in NEWARAB point back to NEWARAB and I wonder whether it is deliberate. Anyway, I intend to look for the original data when I get the time, or if you could point me to it. It would make sense and I could easily believe that 82% of the Israelis favoured VOLUNTARY migration, not "expulsion". Is it wrong to offer people a new home, should they wish, rather than remaining in tents and open sewers in the most ruined, impoverished and populated area in the world? "almost half of those surveyed agreeing that the Israeli military should reenact the story of the Israelites' capture of Jericho." Yes, I can believe that - but "almost half" is less than a half: why look only at the empty half of a glass? - This is why Israel was on the verge of splitting until the 6th of October 2023, divorcing into two separate countries with very different ideologies. Pity Hamas violently aborted that process. «Israel is just a warmongering nation» Israel has not been one "nation" for many years now. Yes, almost half of the people there are warmongering, but the others have nothing to do with that "nation" of theirs and want to split up. Posted by Yuyutsu, Friday, 30 May 2025 4:55:25 PM

Hi Yuyutsu,
Thanks for the info. When Israel acts shamefully, we Jews must be willing to be ashamed of it http://www.theage.com.au/world/middle-east/when-israel-acts-shamefully-we-jews-must-be-willing-to-be-ashamed-of-it-20250522-p5m1j2.html Posted by Armchair Critic, Saturday, 31 May 2025 8:23:12 AM
