0·1 year agoYou’re thinking of right wingers.
You can find quotes of centrists like Yair Lapid decrying harming innocent Palestinians, and calling WB settlers “Jewish terrorists”.And that’s without mentioning Israel’s left wing politicians.
The ones who were quoted are either center or right wing.
And even the centrists have been calling to get out of Gaza for over a year now
Great.
Next up, Taiwan.
0·1 year agoHe was removed in 2022 and barely got back in the last election (Current gov was elected with 49.5% of the voters). Plus for the last 2 years, the polls show the gov parties don’t have nearly enough support to get reelected.
Problem is there’s a high chance they’ll interfere with the elections.And this will have to come with some measures or support for deradicalized education and support for joint Palestinian-Israeli organizations that bring people together like Standing Together, Combatants for Peace, etc.
Most Israelis are Mizrahi Jews without any connection to Europe
What you originally wrote doesn’t imply only leaders.
The current leaders of Zionist parties that are part of the government are, Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Arie Deri. That’s 2 Ashkenazis and 2 Mizrahis.They voted for the Likud mostly because of the racism they experienced. That resulted in much more Mizrahi Jews in places of power and the shrinking of the gap between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews.
Justifiable or not, that clearly worked in their interest.But clearly you’re just looking to attack people, so I’m wasting my time.
You wrote it again, but do you mean Revisionist Zionism? I didn’t pretend, as it’s completely irrelevant.
You wrote that the hardcore Zionist tends to be European. You were corrected that it isn’t true today.
You should clarify yourself if you meant something else.The article points out Mizrahi are more right wing.
Likud’s voters are still mostly Mizrahi, even if less Mizrahi are voting for them as compared to the past.
And it isn’t the only right wing party or the most extreme one. Ben Gvir’s party is worse and also has mostly Mizrahi voters.I haven’t managed to find the articles that talked about the last election in the context of Mizrahi Jews, but you can go through the last election result map and see the places where the Likud got the highest percentages are almost all Mizrahi dominated.
And vote against their interests in which way?
You mean Netanyahu’s parents.
Where were Ben Gvir’s parents from?The majority of Likud, Shas and Ben Gvir voters are Mizrahi Jews.
Israeli Mizrahi Jews in general tend to be more right wing in general.
49.5% of the voters voted for the current government.
Which “progressive” government did Israel have in the last 30 years?
Barak and especially Rabin’s government stopped the settlements.
Olmert had the “realignment plan”, which was shelved due to the 2nd Lebanon war.
For all Iranian women.
Jina (Mahsa) Amini was a Kurd.
0·2 years agoThat’s crazy because I’ve heard Israelis assert the exact opposite.
Yes, religious extremists exist also in Israel.
There’s a certain dramatic irony in funding UNRWA, paying Israel to bomb UNRWA, and then claiming you’re the only folks providing aid to Palestinians.
I’m not the one who wrote USA is the only one providing aid.
What you quoted is the reality. The bulk of the funding over the years has been from the USA and the EU.
So Palestinians are Hamas?
Why is Iran not helping Fatah?
Their support of Hamas is on ideological grounds. Israel is holy waqf land that belongs to Muslims and should be cleansed from Jews.Even when Egypt had sovereignty over Gaza they made sure to prevent Palestinians from going to Egypt.
Tunnels from Lebanon… to Gaza…? Where’d you read that?
Hezbollah begun bombing Israel in support of Hamas. They’re also funded by Iran (much more than Hamas though).
Meanwhile Palestinians live in camps in Lebanon. Some of those walled and surrounded by watchtowers.
They have less rights there than anyone else (including refugees and migrant workers), despite living there for 3 generations at this point.Turkey under Erdogan has been mostly hosting Hamas leaders while bombing Kurds in Syria.
I don’t think much needs to be said about Assad.
The only country in the area which actually helped Palestinians was Jordan. Although that also changed for a while after Black September.
Most of UNRWA’s funding over the years has come from the EU and USA.
I’ll add that from what I’ve seen, about half of the Israelis get an exemption for various reasons.
(Physical or mental issues, religion - Muslims are exempted by default and almost all ultra-orthodox Jews, pacifists, etc)
