For those who think only the right wing in Israel consists of genocidal Nazis
[Video] Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid: “Now that the war has stopped, you have time and a chance to go and learn the facts. The truth is there was no genocide, no intentional starvation."

The two sides in Israel are right wingers, this isn't really all that surprising to anyone actually familiar with Israeli politics.

War is peace, genocide is humanitarian

I have a comment kinda unrelated to this situation.
Since around 1960s there has been dominant idea that words don't have meaning in relation with reality but rather with other words or discourse in the society. So war can be peace, they would argue, because 'peace is a social construct'. And its validity depends only on the discussion around it in society and not on any material reality.
This is why calling it a genocide has always been so important for us. And at the same time denying it is so important for israeli media.

Why are you surprised? All previous prime minister was war criminals . The problem was Israel zionism ideology and not a specific prime minister or a specific party

I'm not....it was tongue in cheek - I'm more surprised at your missing that.
I'm equally surprised that you felt it your duty to lecture me about the obvious.
Tbh, I don't need a poor explanation of how the illegal terrorist 'state' of israel operates, and how zionist ideology is the motivation behind it. I already know. Thanks all the same.

Don't you know that there are people who really believe that the problem is only Netanyahu? How the hell do you think I would know that a Lemmy user I just found out about today is being not serious?
