Telling that the Zionist parties won't partner with the Palestinians, even though they both want to unseat Netanyahu, because Zionists are fundamentally racists who want Palestinians gone, one way or another.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The party favored to win calls Israeli "settlers" what they actually are: terrorists.
Don't listen to all the propaganda about how "everyone is the same", it's all propaganda to depress turnout and let the worst options win.
Especially from all the .ml accounts that have a renewed interest in mainstream communities right before important elections.
correction, he calls the outpost settlers (Hilltop youth) terrorists, not the settlers. He supports the illegal settlements and the ethnic cleansing they cause.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good
point being that besides the couple arab parties, they are all pro apartheid.
Actually some of the Arab parties are also pro apartheid, just from the other end. It's a really weird place over there
some of the Arab parties are also pro apartheid
Which ones? Name them
2 state solution is technically them accepting apartheid too. But come on.
It is a major concession and basically "Please stop killing us".
Eastern European colonizers aren't gonna stay there forever.
They're there because European white supremacists wanted to get rid of their circumcision-lovers.
Arabs are not alien to Judaism or Jesus-ism. They are semites and original christians of the original creed. Long before Blue-Eyed-Blonde-Haired "white jesus" was invented.
They've tried again and again to coexist. The eastern european colonizers in West Asia refuse to treat locals with dignity and respect. They are exactly similar to the nazis they had ran away from.
Can you provide a source for him saying that?
Last time I checked he disapproved building Israeli settlements everywhere only because it'd lead to more Palestinians on Israeli land.
“People who fail to understand… will lead [us] to a bi-national state,” Eisenkot said, joining a long list of former Israeli generals who have sounded the alarm against unlimited settlement expansion and continued control over millions of Palestinians, which they argue threatens Israel’s ability to remain a majority-Jewish and democratic state.
Same guy who says any two-state solution is 'delusional', and fully supports extermination of Palestinians btw.
Don't let people make you think he's a bad guy though. I'm sure he's cool under all that genocide and crimes against humanity.
No sure what was hard, I searched his name, "settler" and "terrorist" and this is the first result:
Yashar chair Gadi Eisenkot says settler attacks in the West Bank are “Jewish terror under the auspices of the government of Israel,” after European diplomats were assaulted in the West Bank today.
“Once again, within a single day, squads of violent lawbreakers attack foreign citizens — and this time, diplomats and official officeholders,” he says.
Eisenkot says the attacks are “burning up the last shreds of legitimacy the State of Israel has left, endangering security forces, and harming the settlement enterprise in Judea and Samaria, and national security.”
Edit:
Since I answered your question, can you tell me why you spend so much time saying voting is pointless and people on the left should never vote?
Because man, it seems like that's most of your post history from a glance
Why spend so much time trying help fascists in multiple countries?
I think you're misinterpreting this quote, because it's no different from current Israeli government stance. He's not against settlers. He's against the specific settlers that attack officials and police. That's it.
Since I answered your question, can you tell me why you spend so much time saying voting is pointless and people on the left should never vote?
Give me one example where I said this.
Unfortunately we're near American voting time, so half the posts on my main page are pure delusions about democracy.
I guess calling for public executions of certain fascists is helping them. Alright, I'll be sure to send them love letters in the future instead.
Where does it say "voting is pointless and people on the left should never vote"?
At best, you can interpret it as voting being pointless specifically in the US, which honestly sounds about right to me, but that's not what was said.
The message was not even about voting itself, but about people's expectations built on illogical foundations.
Expecting voting to produce meaningful change in the US, because it did so in Serbia, is like expecting a movie to do well by using the same composer's music as another movie that did well. Except one is a psychological horror and the other is a romantic comedy.
I mean, sure, go vote. Can’t hurt, probably.
But if you’re expecting it to fix anything, because it did in completely different countries, with vastly different histories and corcumstances… you’re in for some serious disappointment.
You claim that I said one thing, then you quote another. Is this the average American reading comprehension?
Oddly enough, it is reading comprehension that's the issue, I just don't know if you're American or not...
can you tell me why you spend so much time saying voting is pointless and people on the left should never vote?
You said voting is pointless and people who think it will work will be disappointed, meaning it won't work:
I mean, sure, go vote. Can’t hurt, probably.
But if you’re expecting it to fix anything, because it did in completely different countries, with vastly different histories and corcumstances… you’re in for some serious disappointment.
If that's not what you meant. Then what do you think your comment means?
But you're already just resorting to insults, in all honesty I'm probably going to just block you instead of replying if this doesn't turn around soon
Again, where did you see me saying voting is pointless?
people who think it will work will be disappointed, meaning it won't work
Yes, this part is accurate, mostly. I did say they will be disappointed, but what makes you say it equates with the action of voting being pointless?
What I said is they'll be disappointed if they 'expect it to fix anything because it did in completely different countries, with vastly different histories and circumstances' [specifically in the context of US midterms, which are generally less impactful].
Not that they'll be disappointed if they expect it to have a point, in which case your interpretation would obviously be correct.
Of course, the point I made is pretty general and vague. To 'fix anything' doesn't mean anything particular, unless you take it literally, word for word. Which is silly, because any election is nearly guaranteed to result in fixing literally anything, such as a pothole.
Also note the focus on comparing vastly different countries, which was the entire point, not voting itself.
I can see why you'd jump to the conclusion, which is why I explained it to you. I don't particularly disagree with your version. Not strongly enough to argue against it, anyway. The problem is it was never stated, which makes any claims that it was, false.
