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.

    Yeah, so give Palestinians right of return.

    That would require expelling a huge number of Israelis, given they literally live in stolen houses. One in every ten Israelis lives in illegal West Bank settlements

    Make Israelis pay reparations.

    That would require defeating Israel in a war.

    Like how is the land I’m living on not functionally stolen?

    It is, but at least you didn’t literally steal your literal house from a person who is still alive today…

    The Jewish children who were born there aren’t colonists

    And the Israeli colonists currently driving people out of their houses to take them over and have children there know that you think this, which is why they’re stealing land in such a way as to make a Palestine state impossible without kicking them out.

    The main imperative is to end the ongoing colonialism and genocide.

    Which is impossible while the illegal settlements remain.
