As Israel threatens to launch a military ground offensive in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, members of the international community — including Canada — are urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reconsider.

Damn, you’d really think Israeli citizens such as Netanyahu and the rest of Israel’s government would hesitate to use Hitler and the Third Reich as a role model, but here we are.

You'd only think that if you didn't know Israeli history.

Their 10th and 12th prime ,inister was Yitzhak Shamir. He was the leader of the Lehi (also known as the Stern gang). That group tried to literally ally with Hitler during WW2 and he spent his whole life basically saying Hitler did nothing wrong. The country elected this man 3 times.

Oh you might be thinking this was just after the war so it wasn't all so bad? No he was last prime minister in 1992. The 14th PM was a man you may know as . . . Benjamin Netanyahu, who looked up to Shamir as his role model and they were both part of the same party, Likud. They elected him 8 times.

Likud is made up of a merger of many right-wing groups, one of them being Herut. Of which a famous Jew you may have heard of called Albert Einstein once described as "a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy, and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties."

Israel at its core is a fascist/Zionist state, it's citizens routinely support this. There is no surprise.
