Reporter: "So what do we do, kill all children?"

Politician: "Yes, yes. It's not dichotomous. That's reality."

Mainstream political rhetoric coming to you from the only Liberal Democracy in the Middle East.

Spin that for me.

Cruel, weirdo spouting off for attention. Hopefully he continues to be an ex-politician.

This is SO similar to the story I posted today about how ONE politician in a country can say something and everyone else takes it as representation of the entire government.


I could post dozens of youtube videos of this or that American politician saying something disgusting and accuse the entire party he belongs to, or blame ALL Americans for espousing this one politician's views.

Yet folks......................... here is the irony..................... ready for it?

Palestinian terrorists killed Israelis and kidnapped some, yet, we have been told constantly.......................... are you ready for it?................... that those terrorists DO NOT represent all of the Palestinians.

BUT............... now................the words of a politician, or even if there were more than one.................. represent ALL of Israel.

You can't make this shit up folks, this is how some folks think.

Spin THAT for me.
 
-Kill all the babies and children in Gaza- is a common view in Israel? Define "common".

The president, the prime minister. Within the boundaries of respectable mainstream political rhetoric, and enacted by the IDF.

Israeli Genocidal Rhetoric Examples​

Israeli politicians have made several statements that can be considered genocidal rhetoric. For example, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu evoked a biblical analogy referring to the Israelites' enemy, largely interpreted as a genocidal call to wipe out Gaza, stating, "You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible - we do remember."

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared, "There will be no electricity and no water (in Gaza), there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell."

Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu suggested in a radio interview that dropping an atomic bomb on Gaza was a possible tactic, though he later said his comments were "metaphorical."

Israeli Education Minister Yoav Kisch argued, "They have no right to exist. I am not debating the way it will happen, but they need to be exterminated."

Israeli Knesset member Revital Gottlieb wished, "Bring down buildings!! Bomb without distinction!! Stop with this impotence. You have ability. There is worldwide legitimacy! Flatten Gaza. Without mercy! This time, there is no room for mercy!"

Israeli Knesset member Ram Ben Barak suggested, "If all of Gaza are refugees, then let's scatter them in the world. There are 2.5m people there, each country would take in 20K people, 100 countries, it is humane, it is required."

These statements reflect a pattern of rhetoric that includes dehumanizing Palestinians and advocating for their destruction or displacement.

Netanyahu's Genocidal Rhetoric​

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has used rhetoric that some interpret as genocidal. For instance, he cited the biblical Amalekites, urging Israel to remember what Amalek did to them, a reference often interpreted as a call to wipe out Gaza. Netanyahu stated, "You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible," during an official video statement.

Additionally, Netanyahu's comments reflect a broader context where Israeli officials and politicians have made statements dehumanizing Palestinians. For example, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared, "We are fighting human animals," and called for actions "accordingly," indicating a complete siege on Gaza, including no electricity, food, water, or fuel.

These statements have been central to South Africa's case accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, which opened in January 2024.
 
Funny what the ADL considers genocidal rhetoric. Hasan Piker is genocidal, the above examples are not.

 
What Netanyahu is doing in Gaza is indefensible. He's a warmongering, criminal authoritarian in rut. It's so sad to see Israel fall like this.

Then point fingers at those people. Don't amplify something that's easily dismissed as a crackpot spouting off. It's counter productive

That's a lot of spin coming from one person willing to confirm some bias.
 
This rhetoric has been used to facilitate a genocide that the Israeli public supports.
Now you're using the broad brush. Are you trying to be counter productive or do you really not see it?
 
Yet more propaganda attempting to take the words of the most fringe extremists there are and trying to assign blame to an entire nation rightfully defending its citizens.
Anti-Israeli propagandists here used to have to work hard now all they do is spam random Youtube videos.

Leader saying the commonly held views instead of hiding them for political international reasons. He speaks for the majority of the Knesset and the public - though public opinion seems to be shifting some finally. Netanyahu had to not have his cabinet vote for a handful of aid trucks sent in a scheme to help the genocide continue because they opposed even that tiny bit of aid for the starving Gazan people.
 
Death to Israel I suppose is NOT genocidal? Killing and kidnapping civilians is NOT genocidal either when it involves killing Jews but IS genocidal when killing Palestinians?

Spin that for me.

As I said, it is the view of the majority of the officials and the public. That has been proven in hundreds of posts here. I had a thread providing massive further evidence. Did the Holocaust not happen if Hitler didn't say it did? Are the Elon Musk/trump cuts not corrupt and harmful if they claim they are 'cutting waste and fraud'? When an inside exposes the truth, why do you call that a "crackpot spouting off"?

It's incredible to see the harm - to the rogue state, to Gaza, to the US, and others - including genocide - cause for the purpose of preventing Netanyahu having to go to jail for his crimes. That's the driving thing behind it. Netanyahu had to stay in power to not go to jail, and to do that he had to ally with the worst right-wing people in the rogue state and pander to them. They demanded this genocide.

The problem you have is that Israel IS committing a genocide in Gaza as we speak, this is the official state policy wrt Gaza, ongoing in a disgusting live streaming.

So you can spout all you want to but this IS official Israeli state policy, along with decades long illegal occupation and all of the mass HRs violations that result from that, enforced apartheid, ethnic cleansing , collective punishments, mass war crimes on a daily basis and thus his comments DO reflect the Israeli leadership, entirely.
