The Israel that I meet every day is made up of people who want to forge a path towards peace and security for all

Since the beginning of the war, I’ve met Arab-Jewish civil society organisations that exemplify this spirit, providing assistance across diverse communities.

    I believe in no israel. No peace will be achieved until Palestinians get every inch of their land back.

      This is what should have happened, since lots of Berlin stores and apartments were stolen from Jewish people.

      Although you have to understand that no Jewish person would take back their property in Germany after the war. Not only was it in cities that had been bombed out, their German neighbors had recently locked them up in concentration camps. Any sane Jewish person would want to get the fuck out of Germany.

      But maybe they should have gotten their property back after 10 years or so.

    I think zionists are starting to infest lemmy.

    They know how threatening it is to have a platform where people aren’t loyal to their cause.

      Rich words from a 6 day-old account. Regardless, I suggest you tone the rhetoric down a bit, even if I am pro-Palestine/anti-Zionist myself.

            There is no such thing as a non-Jewish Israeli citizens. Can an Arab “citizen” buy land anywhere they wish? Can an Arab “citizen” repatriate refugee relatives? Can an Arab “citizen” commemorate the Nakba free of government discrimination? Can a political party that advocates equal rights for Arabs seat members in the Knesset?

            You don’t get to celebrate diversity in an Apartheid State.

              around 27% of israel’s citizens are not jewish. they have the same rights jews have, so yes they can buy land wherever a jew can.
              there are 4 arab parties in the knesset.
              one of them was part of the 2022 government.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    I am writing this not only as a member of the opposition in the Israeli parliament, but first and foremost as a mother and a young woman in Israel living under Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

    Netanyahu’s government, with its extremist allies, lacks a clear strategy for ending this war, which is resulting in escalating violence, and alienation from the global community.

    Moreover, they don’t want to witness further bloodshed in Gaza; instead they want to see the elimination of the murderous terrorism that declared war on Israel and slaughtered us mercilessly on that terrible day.

    When US vice-president Kamala Harris was asked if Israel is at risk of losing American support in the war, she replied that it is important to distinguish between the Israeli government and its citizens, and she is absolutely right.

    The Israeli government’s persistence in sending soldiers into this conflict, despite the absence of diplomatic objectives, appears driven by a desire to stave off political instability and impending elections – and the risk of electoral defeat.

    With Netanyahu’s bloc facing historically low approval ratings, they anticipate that the upcoming elections will mark the end of his era in Israeli politics.


    The original article contains 925 words, the summary contains 193 words. Saved 79%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Moreover, they don’t want to witness further bloodshed in Gaza; instead they want to see the elimination of the murderous terrorism that declared war on Israel and slaughtered us mercilessly on that terrible day.

    And Palestine wants its country back, the one you stole. They want to see the end of the murderous terrorism and genocide that invaded them so many decades ago, that every year kills their children and parents.

    Thousands of Israeli citizens have taken to the streets, advocating for immediate elections, a deal for the hostages, and a more accountable leadership.

    Where are the protests against the genocide Israel commits?

    Why do you only protest against what’s affecting you and not what evils you are doing?

    We must not allow Netanyahu – who is accused of criminal activity including fraud, bribery and breach of trust (he denies the allegations), who made dangerous alliances with extremists to form his government, and has even attempted to turn Israel into a de facto dictatorship through his government’s controversial attempt to pass “judicial reform” to dictate our relations and divide us.

    You voted him into power multiple times over decades, you let him do this, don’t try to pin it all on him. As if Israel is the victim here and Bibi rubbed a magic lamp to get into his position of power against Israel’s wishes.

    Israeli citizens are the ones thwarting Netanyahu’s authoritarianism, we are the ones holding him back in this moment.

    Israeli citizens are the ones committing the massacres. It’s not magical robot ghosts marching in uniforms, firing tank shells, and raining bombs on Palestine.


    Imagine a German during WW2 saying they were the real victims and the ones fighting Hitler. This is the revolting attitude on display in this opinion piece.

        The word palestine just spawned from the ether, not relating to anywhere or anyone.

        Even if there wasn’t, Israel was created by jews that came from all over the world where a lot of people was already living on it, while current palestinian are decendents of pre-israel population

            I’m not saying that there where no jews before that but the jews that created the state was the jew that came frim Europe and not those who was born in the region. That’s why i said palestinian and not arabs or muslims.

          some jews managed to stay and survive in israel for thousands of years.
          in addition to jews who came back to israel throughout the years like in the 1600’s, 1800’s and later on also in the 1900’s before israel’s rebirth.

    Israel is killing an entire group of people for the actions of a few. In the short term they will be demonized, over generations people may say what choice did they have if not forget what happened altogether.

    There is no doubt the ruthless leaders of Hamas are willing to starve the residents of Gaza to death for the sake of the annihilation of Israel and the Jewish people.

    That’s not who is stopping aid trucks from entering, killing medics, and killing humanitarian aid workers. She’s refusing to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes.

      Yeah, they’re trying to spin this on Hamas while Israel is the very one not allowing food trucks and human aid for the Palestinians.

      It is also not Hamas who’s killing thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians.

      It seems they’re now trying to spin everything on Hamas while when looking back on history - it is clear as day.

    Imagine having George Bush or Putin lead your country into a grave. That’s what Ben is doing. He’s tried this dumb loser shit for 20 years.

    Israel is being held hostage by militarist douchebags who couldn’t lead themselves out of a phone booth.

    I hope Israel gets rid of him and his friends.
