Maybe the Abraham accords were all about turning 'the only democracy in the middle east' into Saudi Arabia.

Israel is standing in solidarity with Palestine and other middle Eastern dictatorships by becoming one themselves.

"We stand in solidarity."

You know you're on the (alt-)right side of history when you have to consider arresting people for saying true things about your murderous and oppressive regime.

Fucking hell. You wonder if HAMAS is even a thing or if they committed genocide on their own people to just to perpetually stay in “war times” power.

No, no one wonders about that. We can acknowledge that Israel is doing evil stuff without questioning the existence of Hamas.

All this does is give people who want to minimize or excuse Israel's actions an excuse to dismiss its critics.

Please let this decade be the decade that fascism dies.
