The far-right conference urged the government to set up new Jewish settlements in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Spoiler: it’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir once again (joined by 11 other ministers this time)

    Now I wonder who downvoted these and why. It’s not fake news. It’s not taken out of context. Why downvote?

      The word “settlement” and its derivatives have a very specific meaning when spoken by Israelis (and Zionists), and it’s not a good meaning.

    Israeli settlers are really some of the worst human beings on Earth. Not ISIS or Boko Haram level but they should be treated and talked about like war criminals for their ethnic cleansing efforts no matter how fucking stupid and brainwashed they are.

      It’s an interesting thought, but is genocide actually better than merely trying to force people to believe in your extremist religious views, at risk of death? I guess Zionism is geographically limited to the Levant.

        They’re not trying to force people to convert to Judaism. They’re literally stealing Palestinian homes and carrying out an ethnic cleansing campaign. Settlers attack Palestinians in the West Bank on a regular basis. They even uproot olive trees owned by Palestinian farmers.

        Check out the Wikipedia article of one of the settler party leaders, Itamar Ben-Gvir. He’s the current Minister of National Security. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itamar_Ben-Gvir

        It might be slower than a typical genocide but the settlements are absolutely about ethnic cleansing.

          Yes, it’s ISIS that I thought wanted everyone to convert everyone to their extreme religious views, not genocide or ethnically cleansing.

      ISIS coincidentally attacks every country in the region except israel. Very convenient.

          Got any links to evidence for that? That’s a pretty wild claim.

          First comment in your profile says “It’s the peaceful Muslims again” so it’s pretty clear what kind of person I’m talking to here.
