Likewise. Our recent ancestors constituted Nuremberg and international courts to put a quick end to the reign of any future deranged despots before they could enlist a future nation to commit another genocide. By undercutting the wisdom of these recent ancestors, the USA ensured that another genocidal government was able to thrive. Our TWO cartel parties lacked both the wisdom and courage to do their duty to put an end to such a reign, and they lacked the ethical core to put an equally swift end to the bribery that sought to buy off BOTH from performing that duty. I share your sense of shame.
I never thought I'd think this, left alone say or write this- Israel has NO RIGHT TO EXIST anymore as a state. The Zionists have had their run with their state. Now Israel is only Jew-ish
Israel has taken on the ways and means of the people who once tried to eliminate the Jewish people. Now, the Israeli Nazis are on their way to join the historical Nazis. They have been killing and maiming children on purpose because, you know, they can't grow up and join Hamas.
I think the argument can be made and upheld that Israel is an illegitimate state on legal grounds, given its machinations in securing the UN vote in 1947*. Lies, fabrications, conniving, ruthlessness, arm-twisting, bribery, and more, all part of the Israeli/Zionist DNA, expressed back then (even beforehand) and to the present day. As for any moral grounds for continued existence, it's not even a question. It's interesting to note how much Israel continuously peddles a desired recognition from others of its "right to exist", of its "legitimacy". Could it somehow be that even they recognize, but can't openly acknowledge, that they inhabit a legally and morally stillborn and barren "state"?
*Of course the deck was stacked against the Arab states from the start, given the West's domination of the UN.
Especially morally stillborn. Morals briefly flared up when Yitzak Rabin ( Spelling?), the old brutal fighter, wanted peace and was assassinated promptly. Before that Begin betrayed President Carter.
The amount of damage Israel does to their own youth is deplorable and it should face a court marshal just for that.
I just don’t understand why Arab nations took their tails and clamped them between their legs and somehow forgot how to speak.
I forgot to include the "betrayal gene" to the their DNA...
Rabin was one of the few, if not the sole, high-ranking Israeli figures interested in peace (that's an odd phrase, isn't it?), from the bit of reading that I've done he was sincere in his position. The fact that he was assassinated by an extremist at a peace rally attended by 100,000 says something about that society.
Considering what we see among the present generation of Israelis (I mean rioting to have likely war criminals released from prison?) makes me wonder about the indoctrination they go through starting at a young age. I gather their educational system from kindergarten on up to university is rife with Biblical mythologies, an imagined past, propaganda, and of course disdain for the Palestinians. All suffused with a copious amounts of supremacism. You should check out Abby Martin interviewing young Israelis here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeLXmHngNfA to see what kind of citizens they produce.
I don't understand the lack of any response on the part of the Arab states, I'm not sure how much I want to delve into more demented politics as people suffer and die. If there were such a thing, Yemen deserves the Nobel Prize in Morality.
The global consensus has been that a people and a nation have a right to exist. Even after the Third Reich, I'm not aware that "Germany has no right to exist" had serious advocates. However, a government that invades and occupies other nations, commits genocide and enacts its desires through the force of an advanced military technology has no such right. In fact, other nations cannot afford to pander to it and let it persist.
We ALREADY DECIDED that MUST be the case when we ended the Third Reich, hung and imprisoned its architects and leaders, but respected that Germany and Germans should exist. The type of "Zionism" supporting the Netanyahu government is hoping to conflate—that a murderous government has the same " right to exist" as inseparable from that of a nation and its people is ridiculous.
Jews have a right to exist. The people of Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, etc. and Israel have a right to exist, and thus the right to a decent government that allows this. A gangster government has no such right to exist.
To claim otherwise is to claim that a government that aims to annihilate other people, occupy their lands and sells doing so with a specious fabricated rationale must be allowed to exist. We ALREADY DECIDED that the world cannot allow the existence of even one such government. We are overdue in making good on remaining true to that decision.
In line with your points, I think it needs to be kept in mind that the Zionist project from at least the early 20th century, if not even the late 19th, called for the expulsion of the indigenous Arab population in Palestine, including the use of violence. This can be seen in the writings of Ben-Gurion and Jabotinsky, among others. There was thus the recognition of having a strong military, and thus arose such Zionist paramilitaries as Haganah, Palmach, and Lehi, later incorporated into the IDF in 1948. In "An Army Like No Other: How the Israel Defence Forces Made a Nation", author Haim Bresheeth Žabner states, “An obvious element of any settler-colonial project is military violence, without which such undertakings are impossible.”
The violence, the land appropriation, the expulsion of the Arab population began well before the Nakba, the extension in 1948 of the intrinsic Zionist policy. Again as Zabner states, "Militarism... has become a crucial element of Israeli society.” It is true what you say, "a government that invades and occupies other nations, commits genocide and enacts its desires through the force of an advanced military technology has no such right*. In fact, other nations cannot afford to pander to it and let it persist." But we are now talking about more than a "gangster government" (a fitting term) which presumably could be extirpated (by the ballot box, or even by war); we are talking about the whole "gangster" Zionist project. The "state" of Israel is built upon and continues to manifest that project, which, to repeat, effectively invaded and occupied another nation (Palestine, beginning in the early 20th century), committed and commits genocide (at least since the Nakba, and again since Oct. 7th), and has used and continues to use the military to enact its desires (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan recently and in the past, Iran on the list for a long time).
Coupled with my earlier comment about the lengths to which the Zionists went to game the 1947 UN vote, I think there is ample basis to maintain that the "state" of Israel is illegitimate. Note: by this I do not include the Jewish people, whom I see as distinct from the Zionists, identification with whom is exploited by the Zionists in their effort to conflate anti-Israelsim/Zionism with antisemitism. The Zionists are something wholly apart, especially morally, from Jews and Judaism.
*Speaking of "a government that invades and occupies other nations, commits genocide and enacts its desires through the force of an advanced military technology [having] no such right", then that certainly applies to the United States. Think Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan as just a few overt examples, and Iran, Chile, and Cuba as a few covert ones (the toll of those killed, disappeared, tortured, imprisoned, displaced numbers in the millions). The time span of such "gangsterism" extends at least as far back as the 1899-1902 Philippine-American War, and has been continual since then, regardless of the government.
With defense (war) spending approaching $1 trillion per year and at over half of discretionary federal spending, "Militarism... has become [as crucial an element of American society as of] Israeli society.” How is that we have decided to allow the existence of such a government? Well, one answer to that question is what Ray McGovern calls the MICIMAtt, the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank complex, itself the creation of the militarized state. That has become our government.
If you have spent the time and effort to suffer through this long-windedness, thank you for your indulgence.
No indulgence required -- thank you. The only thing I would add to your and Mr. Nuhfer's very interesting and appropriate comments is that the state of Israel (again, not the Jewish people, the state) has become the single most dangerous actor on the world stage. Netanyahu and the far right groups he depends on to remain in power advocate ceaselessly for war not only with all their regional neighbors but also with Iran. And, of course, such a war is only possible if the United States is involved. Such a war would threaten world peace at a level that is difficult to imagine. As long as this Israeli regime is allowed to thrive -- something we allow with our tax dollars, military support, intelligence sharing, diplomatic cover and more -- the world is in danger. And that is another argument against any right to exist for the state. Human beings have a right to exist that is inalienable and unassailable. States do not.
"Israel Nazis"? "Historical Nazis"? What are you even talking about? I get that “Nazi” is often just used as a substitute for “evil,” but that’s not what it actually means. Nazism was a specific ideology—racial supremacy, fascist authoritarianism, and industrial-scale genocide. Throwing that label at everything you hate doesn’t make your argument stronger, just less accurate.
The current Israeli government does show fascist tendencies—nationalism, centralization of power, religious justification for violence—but it’s not Nazism. And Israel as a whole is neither a fascist nor Nazi state. They’re absolutely doing evil shit, no argument there, but not in the national socialist way.
If you mean extreme Zionists, they resemble religious fundamentalists more than anything else. The kind of people who think divine destiny justifies anything. And you wouldn’t call Islamic extremists “Nazis,” right?
Let's not be willfully ignorant. We didn't try a few German people at Nuremberg because they were Nazis. We tried particular ones because they engaged in genocide and crimes against humanity. We didn't engage in WWII because Germany was governed by a particular party. We engaged in war because they invaded bordering nations, murdered civilians, and occupied other countries with the idea of owning them permanently. We surely didn't put an end to their government because the perpetrators were mostly Lutherans and Catholics, because any claim we were doing so would have been as stupid as asking someone shooting at your home: "Did you vote for Bernie Sanders?"
Israel is currently invading bordering nations, occupying them with the idea of owning them permanently, and committing a genocide. The world understands--again--that it cannot go on letting any government do that. If ours turns to doing that, then the rest of the world cannot afford to tolerate our government's continuing existence either. That's separate from whether Americans or their many religions have "a right to exist." Playing on jargon does not change the reality.
I actually agree with most of what you said—and honestly, I’m not sure why you threw in “willfully ignorant.” What’s actually willfully ignorant is using “Nazi” as a stand-in for “evil.” What I did was point out the difference and suggest a more accurate label.
Your argument would make sense if I were saying, “They’re not Nazis, so everything they’re doing is fine.” But I didn’t. What I said was: “Nazi” is the wrong term. Call it what it is—religious fundamentalism, nationalist authoritarianism, settler colonialism—whatever reflects the reality.
Dragging it into a vague, emotionally loaded historical comparison doesn’t clarify the situation—it just distorts it.
What is the Leahy law? The term “Leahy law” refers to two statutory provisions prohibiting the U.S. Government from using funds for assistance to units of foreign security forces where there is credible information implicating that unit in the commission of gross violations of human rights (GVHR).
How about a little enforcement? I think israel's GENOCIDE of Palestinians qualifies.
The US does not give a rat's ass about any law if it does not protect Israel. Israel can do no wrong in the eyes of successive US administrations. The Biden admin blatantly lied to us as does the current fascist administration. There is no justice and now there is no humanity!!
When will people realise that the government doesn’t represent the rank and file. It represents big business of which in this case is the arms industry and the oligarchs who profit from it.
If I could move to the country of my birth I would in a heartbeat. But I'm 80 and living on my social so-called security check. I'm ashamed of the ignorance, cruelty and killing of children and adults, the imprisoning and torturing and the flouting of respect for law and true order. Half the time I'm enraged and the other time very sad an unable to do or think of anything to help;
This is horrendous to read about, nevermind experience. It is beyond our comprehension to imagine living like these poor people subject to dehydration, starvation, cold temperatures, poisoning, bombs, medical neglect, skin infections, homelessness, anxiety, depression, Israeli torture and kidnap, and fear.
DAWN has urged the ICC prosecutor to investigate and prosecute former President Biden, State Secretary Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin for their personal roles in aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza as part of his ongoing investigation into the situations in Palestine since 2014.
Let’s give them our support. Maybe they will expand their complaint to include this latest US administration, and include all the leaders of the western nations supporting this genocide.
We cannot allow Israel to escape the legal consequences of their war crimes. The Hind Rajab Foundation has, among other things, filed a case with the ICC against 1,000 Israeli soldiers for war crimes in Gaza.
They have taken further steps in recent days, and vacations are becoming a lot more difficult for IDF soldiers, worldwide. The Hind Rajab Foundation can use our help. Please join me in making a contribution.
You might find meaningful to watch the recent interviews that Glenn Greenwald did on his Rumble platform, and Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada, did with the head of this organisation, Dyad Abou Jahjah. It was very informative.
Here's a petition calling for accountability for the arrest of Ali Abunimah in Switzerland:
Imagine sleeping next door to someone that had intentionally targeted and shot a young child in the head. How could you feel safe enough to sleep, knowing the monster lurked nearby.
If there ever comes a day in the US when those responsible for the facilitation of genocide in Gaza are held responsible I can well imagine their responses.
Some, of course, will unashamedly lie through their teeth that they weren’t directly involved, sidestepping their obvious profiting from it. Some will say they were only following orders like any good member of a modern day Gestapo. And some will whine that they had no choice, that AIPAC or the Mossad blackmailed them.
But none, and I stress this, will own up to their bloody crimes completely. For this I hold out no hope that either the Democratic or Republican parties will ever reform and will consequently condemn themselves to oblivion.
I feel deep shame and guilt about my country’s complicity in the Israeli murder and starvation of children and their families.
Likewise.

Sorry im not really into blown off children parts. Maybe in your 4 chan channels?
Come on, dude. What you wrote has literally zero information value. It throws out some conclusions, but there’s nothing behind it.
Israhell? That just sounds lame. Israel + hell… masterful wordsmithing.
Nazi Germany? I’d genuinely like to hear your reasoning on how today’s Germany has anything to do with Nazi ideology.
Amerikkka? That one at least has some historical context, I’ll give you that—but it still needs more than just a nickname to mean anything.
Throwing out random words doesn’t make an argument.
What is the Leahy law? The term “Leahy law” refers to two statutory provisions prohibiting the U.S. Government from using funds for assistance to units of foreign security forces where there is credible information implicating that unit in the commission of gross violations of human rights (GVHR).
