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.

    America has the right to become part of Canada.

    Except Canadians don’t seem to want that.

    What do you think “river to the sea” means? It means Israel will become Palestine again.

      Fair enough about America and Canada. Still, I think the Israeli are perfectly aware that they could become part of Palestine. They just don’t seem to want that. Honestly, trying to convince the Israeli people to go for this option seems rather Liberal-minded to me – liberal democracy! Just vote!

      “river to the sea”

      RttS is a prediction, or a call to action. It is a slogan used by both sides, to mean freedom in one case or manifest destiny in the other.

        Oh, I think Israelis are a lost cause.

        The only thing that will convince them is defeat. I’m more interested in convincing concerned Westerners, who seem more wishy-washy about Israel.
