Thousands of Israelis rallied Saturday night in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem against "incitement and violence," following attacks by Jewish extremists targeting Palestinians and homosexuals

Now, to attach another older comment for context -

They certainly celebrate when it's the killing of thousands of Palestinians, including children. They hide under the guise of self defense, when it's clearly Palestinians who are (rather ineffectively) trying to defend themselves.

I will gladly give many more citations should anyone ask - do note that instead of any actual sourced counterarguments, this post like all the other posts critical of Israel are being buried under downvotes.

This is NOT a coincidence - there are leaked documents showing Israel recruiting brigaders as well as paying people for dox.

Pasting an older comment on Israel...


The Israeli's by far start the vast majority of fights to instigate the Palestinians into responding.

We decided to tally the data to find out. We analyzed the entire timeline of killings of Palestinians by Israelis, and killings of Israelis by Palestinians, in the Second Intifada, based on the data from the widely-respected Israeli Human Rights group B'Tselem (including all the data from September 2000 to October 2008).

We defined "conflict pauses" as periods of one or more days when no one is killed on either side, and we asked which side kills first after conflict pauses of different durations. As shown in Figure 2, this analysis shows that it is overwhelmingly Israel that kills first after a pause in the conflict: 79% of all conflict pauses were interrupted when Israel killed a Palestinian, while only 8% were interrupted by Palestinian attacks (the remaining 13% were interrupted by both sides on the same day). In addition, we found that this pattern -- in which Israel is more likely than Palestine to kill first after a conflict pause -- becomes more pronounced for longer conflict pauses. Indeed, of the 25 periods of nonviolence lasting longer than a week, Israel unilaterally interrupted 24, or 96%, and it unilaterally interrupted 100% of the 14 periods of nonviolence lasting longer than 9 days.

Also, while crying about how Iran is developing nukes, Israel has hundreds of warheads and have a nuclear policy worse than North Korea's.


Israel has threatened to end the world in nuclear armageddon with it's own nuclear weapons when it's existence is threatened.

This much was demonstrated during the Yom Kippur war, when they were seen arming nuclear missiles aimed at various Middle Eastern countries as well as targeting Russian cities.

A nuclear strike during the cold war undoubtedly would have been assumed to be supported by the US, and therefore MAD would ensure not only for Israel but also the US and Europe.

The name for this Israeli strategy is the Samson Option -

We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: 'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.' I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.[30]

...

Hersh includes two quotations from Israeli leaders. He writes that a "former Israeli govt official" with "first hand knowledge of his government’s nuclear weapons program" told him: We can still remember the smell of Auschwitz and Treblinka. Next time we’ll take all of you with us.[9] And he quotes then Israeli defense minister Ariel Sharon as saying: We are much more important than (Americans) think. We can take the Middle East with us whenever we go.[10]

If we consider North Korea a "terrorist state", what should we consider a nation with the actual ability to carry out their threats of ending the world?

North Korea still has years if not decades to go in perfecting it's missile systems. Israel has had the H-bomb for decades along with nuclear subs and missiles along with enough warheads to destroy the world.

For more on this, I highly recommend reading Seymour Hersh's book. Hersh is the journalist most famous for revealing the My Lai massacre.
