BBC interviews West Bank settler who justifies attacks on Palestinians
"No," he said, "millions. One Jewish life, it's 10 million [Palestinians]." Challenged on the racism of his statement, he did not deny it. "Yes, I know," he replied. "But this is the truth, because God chose us [and] because of this you are jealous." This man is a lawyer. www.bbc.com/news/article...
miguel-swanson.bsky.social30When your criticism of Israel is limited to the “Netanyahu government” as many politicians like to frame it, you are not addressing this guy.
Chris6Lots of Nazis were lawyers
Sweetest Beatrice🏳️⚧️4‘I want to kill millions but god says we’re allowed cause we’re better than other people and he wants us to assert our racial supremacy. You’re just jealous because I’m genetically superior so criticizing me actually makes you racist.’ I’ve heard that line almost verbatim from an American neo-nazi…
Name's Joe2Zionism was/is a supremacist movement, there's no other way to explain the conviction that foreigners had a greater right to the land than the people who lived there. This unacknowledged and unreconciled sin is at the heart of the evil that we see. This man even describes himself as God's chosen.

D. Goldman1Hatred poisons everything. Yes, Palestine wages war against Jewish life. Palestine is also held hostage by our shared abusers, the Arab-Muslim colonial machine. We must work to free them from that machine rather than simply thinking that they are at the center of the war waged against us.

Barbara Fantechi5Italian kids all learn at school of the horror of German nazis during world war 2 stating the life of a German is worth like ten Italian lives, and acting accordingly.
Silv Stevenson - comics writer4I'm not okay with manifest destiny colonial fantasies even when it's a marginalized group doing it. Fuck rightwing ideology and racism.
Nathaniel C. Green2Serious question: what is the substantive difference between this and what the Nazis said to Jewish people during WWII?
tbf to them they were reacting to an *insanely* racist statement by a West Bank settler in which he described himself as one of the chosen people, this wasn’t out of nowhere, but like
Mikhail Gorbaechev56The meaning of "chosenness" is a significant site of discourse in Judaism!
Keith41feels like so much of remaining sane in modern discourse is successfully being able to understand that a nut-picked exemplar is not, in fact, always representative of a sometimes staggeringly broad category. That kernels of truth can be true and also still kernels.
whetstone23that settler statement stuck out to me because i’m pretty sure it’s the first time i’ve ever seen a *jew* say that’s what being the chosen people is about in the wild i always hear it as basically “chosen to obey more rules than everyone else”
eli10Yeah see, Kahanists do talk like this, and I have no problem describing them that way. As they understand it, yeah, it’s a terrible fucking brainworm that makes them worse people. It’s important to qualify as such ofc; per usual the fringe does nobody any favors
The Birds The Turtles and The Bees10There is, for sure, a Jewish type of asshole that is quite distinctive in their assholeitude, but the antisemitic mistake is thinking the Jewish part is the important bit. (Also, if you aren't Jewish you probably aren't as good at identifying this subclass as you think you are.)
andrewtheblueskier8For the record I do read about this stuff sometimes and I've never ever seen someone say /this/ as he's said it in that exact interview. It just /isn't/ mainstream Judaism in Israel or Diaspora to think of it like this, even among Religious Zionists -- he's cooked his mind from the work of killing
🚨Palestinian man Sheikh Farouk Ramadan, whom Israel labeled a “terrorist” after he defended... The footage undercuts the army’s claim that it “neutralized the terrorist who carried out the shooting attack,” as previously shared in a post by @ireallyhateyou.bsky.social account on X (@ireallyhateyou)
Drop Site29Palestinian media report that Israeli forces have issued a demolition order for the family home of Faroukh Ramadan, resident of Tell, near Nablus, in the occupied West Bank who defended himself by seizing the weapon of an Israeli settler who was pointing the gun at him, opening fire and killing...
Chérry the Créature🍒3Sheikh Farouk Ramadan's actions would, anywhere else, have him rightfully hailed as a hero. Standing up against oppression at his own risk. A fascist regime like Israel, however, makes heroes out to be terrorists. Masquerading their villains as heroes instead. Israel must be stopped at all costs!
Israeli settlers in own words: "I think now, after they killed one Israeli, we need to kill all the people in Tal and Sarra, even Jit and Farata," naming the Palestinian villages closest to the outpost. He added, "God chose us [and] because of this you are jealous." www.bbc.com/news/article...
Patrick Kenedy9They have become the people that tried to eradicate them.
daughterofwitches.bsky.social8That's what the Nazis said, almost verbatim.
Andy “Fucking Bitch” Dashiell ❤️🌈🖖🏔️6These loons belong in Israeli prisons, not their openly stolen “settlements.” Just reinforces the historical record showing that *all* religious zealotry, regardless of brand, is morally bankrupt at its core.

bt1138.bsky.social2Sooner or later, Non-Israeli Jewish persons are going to have to come to terms with what Israel is. It's going to create a lot of cognitive dissonance...

Barbara Cooney1Proving yet again that Israelis have utter contempt for the teachings of Judaism.
joesoap.bsky.social1Professor Rafi Greenberg of Tel Aviv University criticizes what he calls “the weaponization of archaeology.” He notes that the archaeological record in Palestine offers no exclusive evidence of a single group’s historical claim. The Lenape Indians have got a better claim to return to New York.
flavianvespasian.bsky.social1Revenge for what? For him being a Jew? He should just kill himself
