Dec 14, 2025“Obviously massacring unarmed men, women, and children at a Hanukkah celebration is antisemitic terror,” Nathaniel added in a separate thread. “Just like massacring unarmed men, women, and children in Gaza and the West Bank is anti-Palestinian terror. There are no moral exceptions regarding the slaughter of civilians.”
Electronic Intifada director Ali Abunimah said, “Basically Netanyahu is saying that Australia got what it had coming for not supporting his genocide in Gaza even more than it already does.”

I submit that this happened not because Australia recognizes Palestine, but that it doesn’t recognize Palestine in all but pointless words. If Palestine was actually recognized as an independent country on the world stage this wouldn’t have happened.
Though whoever feels the need to shoot random people partying on a beach is obviously not right in the head so there’s also a chance they would have just picked something else as their reason.
Yeah, we’re gonna keep recognizing Palestine. Sorry dog 🤣
I wish he and others knew that the actions of the Israeli government endanger us Jews across the world. We used to think Israel would be a safe haven for us if shit hit the fan; now it puts our lives in jeopardy.
He does know that: they want Jews outside of Israel to be unsafe in order to justify their Zionist project and to drive more settlers to it.
Oh, he knows. To some extent.
I don’t think Netanyahu is a “true fundamentalist” like the far right part of the government. He’s Machiavellian, a suvivalist. Perhaps it’s all some means to an end, but I think Israel’s international toxicity is very much factored into his political calculus.
I don’t mean to question his faith, and I hate to sound cynical, but he’s got a looong trail of political decisions that sure speak to that.
Kind of a weird perspective imo. You’re against Israel, not because they are murdering countless people, but because they make you look bad? Your priorities are confusing.
It’s a legitimate reason to speak out against Israel. They are committing genocide while claiming self defense for all Jewish people.
Israel does not represent all Jewish people any more than The Pope represents all Christian’s.
The Israeli government is a terrorist organization, not a religion. They endanger Jewish folks all over the world through their violent, racist, terrorist, genocidal actions and speech and propaganda.
No, I’m against what the government is doing because the IDF is committing a genocide and already murdered over 18,000 women and children. I’m more wondering why the folks in government don’t understand how their actions endanger Jews everywhere, not just in Israel.
