Meanwhile, strikes in Gaza and assassinations in Lebanon continue

Israel’s Knesset passed a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state on Thursday.

The bill, co-sponsored by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition along with right-wing parties in the opposition, was passed by an overwhelming majority of 68 votes, with only nine MKs voting against it.

Benny Gantz, seen by many leaders in the West as a more moderate figure than Netanyahu, voted in favour of the bill, along with his party.

China: land grab by claiming the sea and Taiwan is theirs = bad guy

Russia: land grab by invade Ukraine claiming Ukraine is theirs = bad guy

Israel: land grab by invade West Bank and Gaza, saying Palestine shouldn't exists and claiming both land is theirs

Guys, i might risk getting called antisemite but...i think Israel is the bad guy here?
- Ukrainians are whiteish and Taiwan manufactures chips for the US. Palestinians are brown and Palestine has no exports, so the US doesn't give a fuck about them
- Russia isn’t claiming Ukraine is theirs.
  
  That’s why, before invading, they formally recognized the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk from Ukraine.
  
  They have since passed a bill annexing those areas, plus more, and even in the official "justification" for the war Russia clearly expects to be able to decide Ukraine's foreign policy

  And Zaporizhzhia and Kherson?
Sometimes i really fucking hate being Jewish.
- Don't let israel guilt trip you into thinking their white ethnostate is part of Judaism. You are not responsible for anything they do.
- I'm part jewish myself. Israel doesn't represent me and never has, nor has it represented my ancestors. I see a clear difference between Judaism and Israel.
- No one blames you. I certainly don’t.
  
  Thank you for speaking up and your words do matter. I learned the horrors of what’s going on years ago from Jewish and Israeli authors such as Ilan Pappe.
- why, did you vote for any of those guys?
  
  I’m not an Israeli citizen. But I tell you, it’s a drag being Jewish. There’s the legit antisemitism, which I experienced primarily in my youth, and then the guilt by association because Israel is an asshole country. Oh yeah, then there’s the insufferable idiots who will call me an antisemite because I don’t believe in oppressing Palestinians.
  
  It’s just kind of proper fucked being Jewish. I guess we get some cool shit though, like space lasers, controlling world politics, etc.
Guys why don't those Palestinians just do a two state solution? Those israelis really want it right?
- Nope, one state solution would have to be forced by whichever US president is brave enough.
  
  All of them seem to be puppets of the owner class, so I am not that hopeful on that front.
  
  and that one state? Plasma.
Who the actual fuck thinks Gantz is a moderate? The dude is more extreme than Ben-Gvir.
- Anyone can seem like a moderate when they're standing next to someone whose a bigger extremist than themselves.
  
  Itamar Ben-Gvir and Benjamin Gantz are different people.
- Moderate as in "moderate rebels" in Syria.
Can we stop sending military aid to the obviously evil country yet?
They hadn't already done that years ago?
- Israel was pretending that it was the Palestinians that refused to compromise for a 2 state solution. With all the heaps of carefully crafted Hasbara and liberals selling people on israeli white nationalism, nobody took the time to figure out the real story.
  
  Now that everyone knows that israel is the aggressor they have no valid defense left to not recognize a Palestinian state. Especially in the West Bank.
  
  So israel now goes mask off and reveals their very obvious initial position: they want to expand their Lebensraum and exterminate all Palestinians. And israel hopes that if they scream "self defense" hard enough while bribing politicians everyone will keep supporting their Genocide.
  
  they scream "self defense" hard enough while bribing politicians everyone will keep supporting their Genocide.
  
  And should you happen to be a supporter of human rights and international law they will scream "antisemitism" hard enough until you lose your job.
I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!
How will Blinken spin this?
- He wil smirk really hard and say something about Hamas bad.
- Probably the ol "that's Israel's internal matter that has nothing to do with us"
