Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a map of Israel that erases the occupied West Bank, marking it as Israeli territory, in an address to the media yesterday.

The Israeli premier appeared standing in front of a wall-sized digital map that obliterated the West Bank. Palestinians decried the move as an explicit annexation of the occupied territory by Tel Aviv.

    isnt that the worlds goal? why else would we watch israel erase palestine over the last 60 years?

      If not explicitly the goal, definitely at least complicit. We deserve whatever consequences come our way eventually.

      And you better believe they’re coming.

      The Global West is terrible at preventing genocides.

      Rwanda, Darfur, Rohingya, etc. If it’s not in the Global West’s interest, it’s fuck them victims.

        I mean arms dealers need to sell weapons, but better if it doesn’t draw them in themselves, so genocides are better than two sided wars. And the primary export of the US is weapons, so…

    Bibi has been 100% clear, he doesn’t believe Palestine has a right to exist.

    "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday rejected the premise of a Palestinian state and promised that Israel will take over the entire region it currently occupies, “from the river to the sea,” according to an English translation on the Israeli news channel i24NEWS.

    According to other translations, Netanyahu said that Israel “must have security control over the entire territory west of the Jordan River,” which is basically the same thing."

    To be clear, when Palestinians say the same thing, they are accused of being pro-Israeli genocide.

      What do you care? You blame Palestinians for a government they haven’t been able to vote against since 2005, and want to equate them all to Hamas in regions that Hamas doesn’t even rule in. You say there is no apartheid. You constantly equate “left” to Nazis. Which makes it all the more telling when you deny such demonstrably and verifiably true facts because of a news source you want to demonize. For someone who joins a furry instance, all of your comment history is dedicated to headbutting yourself against anything that even remotely might be amicable to Palestinians with all of your participation being limited to just World News and politics for this. Just be honest, you support exterminating Palestinians from Israel, because it’s rather straightforward you do.

      yeah totally a reliable source…

        “Genocidal zionist furries” definitely aren’t the first thing I expected when I came to Lemmy, but here we are I guess.

          I’d sooner guess “ban evader”.

          My only wish is that Israelis would wake the fuck up and realize that trying to kill all of the Palestinians isn’t a winning strategy. Sure, a lot of them don’t harbor that sentiment, but enough of them do. I do not feel bad about the Nazis or Japanese Imperialists that were killed in WW2, and I don’t feel bad for these idiots that won’t give up Zionism to better their lives. All sides have to agree on peace, and as it stands, Zionists don’t want that.

          Ftfy

          Can you do us a favor and give up Zionism to better your life?
