why stop there?

I think Israel will not stop the war until its forced to do so.

[-] d00phy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Yeah, they’re still working on their final solution to this.

[-] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 6 points 1 month ago

Probably provoke every neighbor until it's a big active conflict in the entire region and then say they're the only one capable of "maintaining peace" aka kill everybody so better start sending weapons.

They intend to expand a lot and be as globally independent as possible so they cant be punished for their crimes with trade sanctions.

Cant wait to see the response of the "its just against the terrorists" crowd

[-] Md27@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Israeliz are the terrorists with nukes in the area, it's uncanny how they keep flinging accusations and throwing American weaponry at everyone that doesn't like their land grabs

Just openly saying you want genocide. As you do.

yep. Its been the same war for the last ~80 years.

“We should prepare to go over to the offensive. Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine. We shall establish a Christian state there, and then we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan; Syria will fall to us. We then bomb and move on and take Port Said, Alexandria and Sinai.” David Ben-Gurion May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, a Biography, by Michael Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978.

“It’s not a matter of maintaining the status quo. We have to create a dynamic state, oriented towards expansion.” –Ben Gurion

Partition: “after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine “ — Ben Gurion, p.22 “The Birth of Israel, 1987” Simha Flapan.

On the 6th of February 1948, during a Mapai Party Council, Ben-Gurion responded to a remark from a member of the audience that “we have no land there” [in the hills and mountains west of Jerusalem] by saying: “The war will give us the land. The concepts of “ours” and “not ours” are peace concepts, only, and in war they lose their whole meaning” (Ben-Gurion, War Diary, Vol. 1, entry dated 6 February 1948. p.211)

Sounds familiar. No wonder the Americans love Israel, they're basically carbon copies of eachother. What America did to the Native Americans, the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians. Push 'em out, keep pushing until they get violent, use the violence as an excuse to keep pushing, rinse and repeat until they're all dead.

I was thinking the other day, and this is a bit off topic but:

Can you imagine what the colonists and “America” would have done to the indigenous people if they had the same tools as the Nazis?

America, Hitler’s little poster child.

It wil not stop war at all, because Bibi needs wartome mandate to stay out of jail

"Greater Israel" is not just about murdering palestinians, but more generally stealing all of the middle east.

Until some military rolls up on the border and demands at gunpoint that Israel stop starving, murdering and stealing from people they dont like, the Israelis will keep doing it. They want Syria, Lebanan, Jordan, and Egypt after they finish off the west bank and Gaza.

[-] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Time to nuke Israel.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

“We didn’t bomb these people out of their homes only to have them return.”

[-] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Genocide will continue until morale improves.

[-] WasteWizard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

What's their beef with Syria still?

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Well, see, Syria has land they want and people they don’t.

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

They don't own it yet
