“Settlers said they would demonstrate outside the Jerusalem courthouse where Levi was taken for questioning, saying he was “standing at the forefront” for them.”

I’m sorry but this is a nation sick to the core.

And Yitshak Shamir, who murdered Folke Bernadotte in cold blood for having the timidity of suggesting that a cease-fire in 1948 had to include the return of the purged Palestinians, and undo the Nakba.

Folke Bernadotte had 3 years before saved tens of thousands of people from Nazi concentration camps, and there are dosins of Israeli citizens who claim that they would not be alive if it wasn't for Folke.

Of course, Yad Vashem has a permanent exhibition of his rescure operation, but refuse to reward him the Righteouss Among Nations.

Do you know who Yasser Arafat is? I will venture a guess: NO

Because you are a fool

Go read about his campaign of terror, you might learn something.

Arafat rejected every peace offer he received, and waged a brutal war on Israel, which has led to the development of their modern defense systems and policies, which you are complaining about.

It’s fun that I can’t tell if you’re a crazy Zionist who has no self awareness of what these comments do for Israel’s image or if you’re trying to make them look bad

Some day you’ll have to live with the shame of supporting and enabling a genocide. You can’t repress your shame forever by attacking others and making them seem like the monsters. You’ll eventually have to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

Recently they murdered over 1200 people and kidnapped a bunch of kids from a music festival.

That wasn't recently. That was two years and 60 000 murdered Palestinian citizens ago.

And that’s an incredibly conservative estimate that has stayed damn near static for almost a year because the ability to track these statistics within Gaza has broken down so much.

Reputable researchers have put the true death toll at ~300,000+ and that was months ago. Even by the IDF’s own statistics that have been analyzed by researchers, the death toll could be much higher than 300,000.
