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.

    I think you’re misunderstanding their point, it’s very different from African colonies because the entirety of their country isn’t made up of children of refugees.

    Their point is a fair one that you didn’t address at all, are you really expecting them all to move somewhere else? How is that at all feasible in your mind? I’m American, I have no fucking clue where I “came from” if someone said the US needs to broken up and sent back to where they “came from”.

      I think the recency of your countries colonization does make a big difference. The US is 250 years old, Israel is 77 years old.

      I have no fucking clue where I “came from”

      25% of Israelis are fresh settlers that were born elsewhere (so they know where they came from)
      Most of the rest have parents that are also settlers

      The entire concept of Israel is to be an ever growing colony which spends billions of dollars trying to convince every jewish person in the world that Israel is the only place in the world where they are safe. As a consequence Israels population has grown 900% since its inception and that growth has only been accelerating. The vast majority of Israelis are not refugees, they are religiously attracted. The official plan of the settlers is to colonize the entire region including Lebanon, the West Bank and parts of Syria.

      People really need to understand that this crisis is entirely manufactured and intended. The only solution is the dissolution of the Israeli government and a complete change of course. The Israeli population will never do that, because they support the genocide so that only leaves heavy sanctions on Israel or invasion.

        stop feeding the monster. stop financing them, stop buying their products and services. a nonviolent solution seems best and the IsraElis will move without too much pressure. problem is that their leaders run or pressure leaders in the west. so the ugliness will go on for decades or centuries more.

          If you wanna understand more about how they get so many young people to move to Israel (especially from the US) i recommend this documentary that talks a lot about Israels “outreach programs” (read ideological/military recruitment programs) that embed themselves into schools and universities to intercept jewish kids before they make any contact with people critical of Israel.

          For comparison Israel vs German Age distribution which says a lot by itself

            That Israeli age distribution chart is a nightmare in progress and it will come back to haunt them.
