Israel’s foreign minister has said that an arms embargo on his country would lead to the elimination of the Israeli state and “a second Holocaust”.

Gideon Saar was speaking on Tuesday at an international conference on antisemitism in Jerusalem.

    Honestly not not sure if this is a pro-israel or pro-palistine comment. It reads like a condemnation of Israel’s current action OR Israeli bullshit to justify their genocidal actions.

      I think it’s generally true for any situation. It holds for Israel, for Hamas, for Russia, and for any country or organization that seems to enjoy bombing their neighbours.

        Ethnic-Russians who lived on the same land for hundreds of years were targeted since or around 2014 - Ukrainian plans even bombing them, thugs beating them up, some hung by rope around the neck to die and some set on fire…since or before 2014. Russia was patient for manyyyy years, but couldn’t get the international community to act on behalf of Russians living in the Dobass or s.e-Ukrainian regions.

          Those were Russia and the Russia-backed “separatists” doing that in the areas the controlled. There’s not a shred of evidence of Ukraine doing anything like that, and plenty of evidence of Russia doing this.

          If you were told otherwise, you were lied to. Putin loves telling these sort of lies in order to mislead people lile you.

            NaZi stood for Na National Socialist. NaZis did a wonderful job in Germany and should have stayed in Germanic territory - Nederlands, Austria, and other Germanic lands. Loving ones own people is wonderful as long as it doesn’t lead to invading others’ lands. Ireland should be for the Irish only. Kurds and Basque also deserve self-rule. It is a general concept and if that makes me racist, I should wear the label with pride. My room is clean and organized because it is mine, within my sphere of ownership/control. My roommate’s room looks like a hurricane hit it and it stinks bad in there (I wish he’d keep his door shut). I don’t complain because that is his space. If the house gets bugs, that will affect me, but until then, I shut the hell up and worry about my own space. I consider this very much like nationalism. I take responsibility and pride into my own realm. How racist of me! Oh, and he’s a Jew.
