It's amusing because Holocaust deniers use that exact same argument.

Isrealis should just move to Florida instead of settlements.

Problem solved.

You mean spokesmen for the IDF?

I, for one, support this bombing.

Those babies didn't denounce Hamas enough before they bled to death. All they did was cry.

Just shameless.

/s (because last time I did this, people took it seriously)

How about publications like Vox (who in turn refer to publications like the Jerusalem Times and Haretz).

Must be anti-Isreal propaganda as well.

In 2017, Israeli far-right parliamentarian Bezalel Smotrich proposed what he termed a “decisive plan” to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Smotrich, who is now serving as finance minister in Netanyahu’s cabinet, argued (correctly) that the root of the conflict was competing claims to the same land from two distinct national groups. But, unlike his centrist peers, Smotrich claimed that these ambitions were incommensurable: that no territorial compromise could ever be reached between Israelis and Palestinians. In such a zero-sum conflict, one side has to win and the other has to lose.

The key to Israel winning such a total victory, he wrote, is simple: Break the Palestinians’ spirit.

“Terrorism derives from hope — a hope to weaken us,” Smotrich argued. “The statement that the Arab yearning for national expression in the Land of Israel cannot be ‘repressed’ is incorrect.”

Doing this, he continued, begins by annexing the West Bank and rapidly expanding Jewish settlements there. Once Israel has declared its intention to never let that land go, and created realities on the ground that make its withdrawal unimaginable, the Palestinians will reconcile themselves to the new reality — accept a second-class form of citizenship, leave voluntarily, or attempt violent resistance and be crushed.

Smotrich has used his time in Netanyahu’s cabinet to try to implement this plan — working both to de facto annex the West Bank and to rapidly expand Jewish settlement. The result has been the exact opposite of what Smotrich thought would happen: Atrocities by emboldened settler extremists ignited Palestinian anger. Atrocities committed by Palestinians led to settler retaliation, creating an unstable situation requiring a significant redeployment of Israel Defense Forces resources to the West Bank — whose raids themselves became a source of Palestinian grievance.

Why believe Netanyahu's cabinet Ministers when they openly speak of ethnic cleansing and destroying any chance of a Palestinian state?

It is sad that I need to confirm this.

One of my other sarcastic posts was deleted by a moderator.

I'm sorry, making this post makes you an anti-semite.

I thought it was but a moderator had deleted it.

The literal policy of the current ruling coalition in Isreal is to ethnically cleanse Palestinians out of the West Bank with Jewish settlers.

I, for one, support this bombing.

Those dead children didn't condemn Hamas enough before they bled to death.

When they are in Cabinet and a part of the ruling Coalition.

It could be that the IDF is possibly lying.

It's different when white people do it, bro.

The Isreali Minisitry of Intelligence had literally drafted up an options plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza and deport everyone.

Let's not congratulate Isreal on drawing the line at nukes.

I think he was only suspended.

Sure, bud.

Ah, the Isreali public, who has done nothing about Isreali settlers attacking and ethnically cleansing Palestinians from the West Bank for the last 20+ years.

Must be a part of Israel's right to self-defense.
