I was rooting for him until the last three words of the headline.

As best I can tell, the most racist zionists are usually American-born Israelis.

I do my best to always use the word Zionist before the word Israeli.

Israel's secularism is irrelevant to the overall racist ideology of Zionism that permeates Israeli society.

I'm not referring to powerless, mouth-breathing, NEETs who normally lurk forums.

But I'm referring to comments from actual members of the Israeli Knesset, public statements from people like the OP, printed editorials in mainstream publications, and modern Israeli celebrities.

When you read through the translations not meant for western audiences - the racism pops out disturbingly. It's such a part of their culture that they don't even notice it as such. Zionists really don't view people in the West Bank or Gaza as humans.

A few months ago I started using Google Translate to read what Israelis are saying amongst each other in their mainstream publications and forums.

My. God. Levels of entitlement and racism that would make a Klansman blush.

Sure, a lot of them want a cease-fire to get the hostages back ... and most don't like Netanyahu ... but the average Israeli Zionist is a racist monster.

More like: "My ancestors ate chickpeas ... therefore, that falafel is mine!"

Don't mess with librarians. They look mousey ... but they take their jobs really seriously and will fuck your shit up.

Wasn't there a story the other day claiming that Israel expected the US to pay for these camps?

Has that been debunked yet?

Any increase I've experienced in my pay has been completely surpassed by healthcare bills and inflation.

These are the types of cases where it pays to be lenient.

Without going deeply into the history & tactics of dealing with insurgencies: If the goal is social stability and reconciliation - it is best to be lenient the first time, but then be absolutely over-the-top brutal the second.

I see no downside whatsoever.

 

Is it an in-joke? Or does the person who makes these just enjoy posting them all day?
