    Yeah, think about those poor ethnostates! Poor little Israel, it has no choice but to kill kids.

    Just add them to ignore and then add script that filters out all ignored posts so you can't even see them.

    I started doing it and it's much better, I'd rather focus on discussion on topic with reasonable people, instead of seeing some extremist crap about ethnostates, burning kids and whatever else some posters spout here.

    It's just getting out of hand here.

    Wait, you think it's the people who have a problem with the killing of dozens of children who are the extremists? Not the people applauding those child deaths as something "necessary" and "justified"?

    Overall, I expect new government to mostly have the same approach when it comes to security. I hope there will be some better social and economic incentives for secular majority that for too long was milked dry.

    The majority is razor thin, but considering the state of opposition, it's also much harder to bring down. I hope it will last at least good 2 years to clean up some ministries of various cronies.

    I think that some people are out of whack, when I see some completely wild responses to something I write in style of "lulz you just want to kill kids you don't need to tell us that again" to practically completely unrelated post and that kind of shit gets passed by moderation, then I just toss it straight into ignore filter. So that guy, for example, became completely invisible to me. There is one thing criticism and there is another thing - completely unrestrained wild bullshit and slander.

    There is limit to everything really.

    Imagine being ok with your country bombing media, infrastructures and civilians alike, repeatedly, and thinking everyone else is the extremist.

    That's only because Hamas designs it that way. The IDF doesn't target a building unless Hamas is specifically using it to further their terrorist agenda.

    We have literal proof of that happening like 3 weeks ago.

    According to the IDF, who totally don't have a vested interest in reassuring everyone else that what they're doing is totes legit and not at all a war crime. /s

    Arab Islamist helps clinch Israel's new anti-Netanyahu government

    It was a photo opportunity for the history books: An Islamist politician from Israel's Arab minority grinning alongside a far-right Jewish leader and his allies, moments after endorsing him as prime minister and handing him a governing majority.

    Common cause against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu helped bring Mansour Abbas into the political fold late on Wednesday, his tiny Islamist faction securing a paper-thin majority for Jewish parties hoping to unseat Israel's longest serving premier.

    "Israel’s new government has approved a controversial march by far-right nationalists and pro-settler groups through occupied East Jerusalem’s Old City, a step that risks inflaming tensions with Palestinians hours after Benjamin Netanyahu handed over power to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett."

    Good start!

    I appreciate more people coming into the fold to admire the power Palestinian Arabs living in Israel wield in the former mandate of palestine. Especially from someone who just got done imagining the US is only interested in Israel for the oil and believes Israel is committing war crimes. Truly heartwarming stuff.

    The story does nothing to push against my opinion.
    But I do appreciate the imagination and the sarcasm.

    Maybe they are committing war crimes. I wonder what their reaction would be if the ICC started to investigate. I'm sure they'd cooperate because they have nothing to hide.

    Yeah, anyway, day one of their new government and they're already handing out orders to demolish Palestinian homes in Negev villages.
    Good thing Arabs have so much political power in that democracy.
    Populists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.

    Hell, if you reported the story alongside "Farce of a unity government expected to continue Israeli war crimes," I'd consider it par for the course. The framing and lack of immediate grumble was pleasant and I think it does you credit.

    Maybe you can now accuse Islamist Arabs of covering up war crimes committed against other Islamist Arabs. Let's see Mansour Abbas terminate the United Arab List's participation in the government, subtly confirming that Arab participation never happened.

    Or Mansour Abbas capitalizes on all the conditions won from his coalition as terms for his participation like a good politician should, and people have even less to gripe about than they did before.

    I hardly know if certain anti-Israeli agitators will blame Abbas for being blind to what his own coalition government is doing, or mute and unable to speak out against it. In any case, I expect his agency in the situation to be downgraded in some fashion.

    ROFLMAO this coalition will collapse they have nothing in common. Once Bibi is convicted and barred from office it will fall apart the only thing this speaks to is how hated Bibi is, people that hate each other just hate him more even the people he was friends / co workers with. What a detestable piece of shit he must be not surprising considering he uses his dead brother as a prop.

    Antisemitism disguised as antizionism. For one example, a left wing group barred Jewish symbols at an lgbt pride parade and later used language directed at zionists that has been used by David Duke to describe jews. While there have been some harassment of Jewish people from left wing individuals under the guise of attacking Israeli zionists.

    Again, I am stating for record being against Israel or zionism isn't anti semitism, but there are antisemites who use antizionism as a mask for their antisemitism.

    You won't be the only one with reservations about the coalition's future, but you're also failing to mention the fact that the coalition government deposing Netanyahu critically included Palestinians in Israel that used their power of the vote. I appreciate the deflecting towards Netanyahu's future and the coalition's future, as much as it's a more pleasant topic than the expression of Arab power, agency, and incorporation within Israel.

    Hamas missiles fell on Palestinian Arabs too, and endangered their lives, lest we forget.

    Okay, and?

    Israel will get credit when they stop the colonization, apartheid, and war crimes. Otherwise this is as inane as saying racism ceased in America the minute Obama was elected.
