    We do not allow editorialized headlines. The current headline does not include “zionist” as a descriptor.

    "hoto: Moshe Mizrahi

    ‘Gaza is being erased, all of it will be Jewish,’ minister says"

    Please revert to the original or we’ll have to remove it.

      Does this post title show up with the word “zionist” halfway through on your end? It’s not present in the source headline. Not sure if there’s some kind of edit sync issue going on.

        I did not see “Zionist” at the time I commented, but it definitely is there now. Time for a new top level comment.

    As an absolute novice on the situation: what about a 2 state solution, but Israel and the Palestinians swap ownership of their current claims to land and infrastructure.

    So my natural reaction to such statements like this when they aren’t Jewish is the want to lash them to a cross and possibly decimate their family if I’m feeling spicy, so is it anti-semetic to still want to do it if they are a Jew? Cause I really want to crucify this piss weasel and commit decimation apon his kin.

    Well, from a powerless human I can say that time will find a way. I and my family would not exist without the eradication of the Aztec empire. Mixed people through are not totally removed. Maybe one way to prevent their genocide is to intermix and carry their next generation. One little person at a time. It may be too late. But maybe if just a handful survive or maybe if people who escaped before the genocide can find a way? Hopefully your decedents are not full of hate because of what is happening. As for the rest of us, we need to never allow this to happen on our name.

    As a powerless human, I hope that my ideas get legs and find someone who does have influence. The future will not be kind to anyone who is evil. Yes I can be disappeared, but a future where evil is in total control by definition cannot happen unless everyone is evil.

    “the government is racing toward erasing Gaza. Thank God we are erasing this evil. All of Gaza will be Jewish.”

    Sounds similar to something in history but I can’t quite place it.

    “the Reich is racing toward erasing the Jewish vermin. Thank God we are erasing this evil. All of Germany will be Aryan.”

    It probably sounds better in the original German.

    Whatever you think about Israel and Palestine, this is wrong. Erasing people in the name of your religion or ethnicity is wrong.

      No, you are wrong. Nazis should be erased. You throw away rotten food to stop contamination of other fresh ones

      Religion is easily one of the most horrendous and harmful inventions humans have ever created. It’s devastating that children are indoctrinated into moronic religions before they develop any kind of critical thinking skills.

      Child abuse tbh

    Eliyahu, who previously faced international backlash early in the war for suggesting a nuclear strike on Gaza was not off the table […]

    What a fucking idiot. Gaza has the area of a medium sized city. If you nuke Gaza its like nuking Israel.

    Well, at least those anti-Kamala can contemplate the colonized ruins from their high horse. Or those geniuses in Michigan. Don’t worry, at least there will be a trump hotel built on the smoleding craters…

      Watching these events unfold with the Democrats in charge was like that scene in Saving Private Ryan where the one guy was slowing pushing the knife into the other. “Shhh!”

      Biden had plenty of opportunity to do something about it and outright refused to. This includes all the vetoes and shit at the UN. The Democrats are complicit, and there is no other way to interpret it. His legacy will be as an accomplice to genocide.

          Biden kick started this whole thing, including crushing campus protests and getting college deans fired for “anti Semitism”

          You need to face facts that your politicians are all on a leash held by israel

            I’m on the other side of the ocean, those are not my politicians (not that mine are much better, but still). It was clear that trump would enable much worse behavior towards Gaza, and now it has been happening.

            They went from building (symbolic and not that helpful) piers for humanitarian aid to brag about ethnic cleansing for gaudy hotels.
