President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”

It’s mind-blowing how thoroughly Netanyahu has bungled this. They had damn near the entire world in full support after Hamas’ horrific attack on Israeli civilians, and they’ve managed to lose it.

    The funniest part is that it’s the liberal left that destroyed it.

    I don’t really see how. Surely it’s the people slinging that word around to try and shut people up that destroyed it?

        Now is “Zionist” the new word you call everyone you don’t like. I practically don’t get why people are so much against the fact that Israel exists. It’s reasonable to criticize some Israel’s actions but why so many are against it’s existence.

          Probably because it’s a colony state, acting like a colony state. Oppressing the locals and acting like the victim when the locals inevitably lash out. Then using that as an excuse to take more land.

            What exactly does it mean then? I adhere to the cambridge’s definition: “a political movement that had as its original aim the creation of a country for Jewish people, and that now supports the state of Israel”

              It means an ever-expanding state of Israel with zero regard for borders or neighboring nations. It is the root of all the violence, oppression, mistreatment, and downright murder of Palestinian people including their women and children. And I for one am fucking sick of paying for it.

                Zionism never asks for the disrespect of international law. Whilst Israel illegally occupies undisputed territories (and I condemn these actions), they fully respect the borders. You will not find a single jew in gaza, neither in Palestinian-only villages.

          Ethnostates are inherently immoral, regardless of which race they are. Everyone should be treated equally under the law, regardless of race. Nobody should be a 2nd class citizen, apartheid is immoral.

          And that’s all before counting the ongoing genocide.
