The Israel that I meet every day is made up of people who want to forge a path towards peace and security for all, says Naama Lazimi, a member of the Knesset

Since the beginning of the war, I’ve met Arab-Jewish civil society organisations that exemplify this spirit, providing assistance across diverse communities.
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
Well said.
What are you talking about?? This person explicitly stated she did not vote for Netanyahu. She is part of the coalition that is directly opposed to Netanyahu and his military strategy. What the hell is she supposed to do as a single person. What is the point of your comment? You really felt the need to grandstand or something?
I’m talking all of Israel. The Israel she is saying doesn’t support this, didn’t vote it, excuse etc.
What the hell is she supposed to do as a single person?
She could start by going back in time and not pressing "send" on her poorly-disguised pro-israeli fud mischaracterizing israel's genocide as a war and israels starvation of its citizens as Hamas' fault. Then, after deleting her zionism-apologist garbage, she should stand up, drop her drawers, and kiss her own ass.
This would be a nice story apart from the fact there was never a palestinian country. I don't know how you can want a country back if you never had one.
Israel was never a country either. Yet here we are.
Yes, both were about to be created.
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 mean, there have been Jewish folks In the region before the modern state of Israel.
But yeah you’re right in that Israel came about because of the Holocaust and the fact that zionists wanted out of Europe and Europe was antisemitic still.
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.
The word palestine just spawned from the ether, not relating to anywhere or anyone.
That's just semantics though.
People lived there, they had houses and fields and orchards and olive plantations and businesses, they lived normal, free lives with their friends and families.
All that has been taken away from them. I don't care if you call it "owning a country" or not, the reality is that their lands and livelihoods were stolen using violence.
I don’t know
this is clarity you could stand to have more often
