"Are we the baddies?"

white supremacist

Lol. Lmao, even.

None of the 54 people who upvoted this have the first idea about how Israeli internal politics relates to white supremacy. None of them know how Likud got elected in '77, on top what of ethnic tensions. None of them know the names "Dudi Amsalem", "Miri Regev", "Galit Distel", who are high ranking ministers in the current Israeli govt (Distel quit recently), and how they built their political capital and support base on top of repeated scorn and derision for "the white tribe" which in Israel is traditionally identified with the secular liberal elites, who vote for left wing parties and try to promote left wing policies. Listen to some of the stuff that this wing of Likud says, ironically they don't sound far off from the BLM movement who of course they will tell you that they oppose in their capacity as staunch conservatives. Don't underestimate how much of Likud's power comes from exactly that fault line in Israeli society.

Go ahead and call Israel bigoted, a settler state, a colonialist project, all of these start off an argument that often Israel is going to look not so great coming out of -- but "white supremacist"? People make the surprised Pikachu face because this take is detached from physical reality. Out of what I want to believe is good intentions, you ended up shoving the square peg that is this conflict into the convenient round hole that is this narrative about colors vs. whites which has not applied since decades before the turn of the century.

FWIW I don't personally have the taste for any of this. I wish I could stop hearing about the imaginary applications of colors to Israeli internal and foreign policy, and instead start hearing more about practical plans of how to ensure security in the region and how to aim for a future where millions of Gazans don't starve. But clearly no one is asking me.

There was a conspiracy theory that showed a proposed canal that will go right through Gaza (the Ben Gurion canal) that seeks to divert some of the traffic from the Suez canal.

This one in Canada was.

It was played off that way at least. Follow the linked article to the twitter profile, you can see he’s deeply reprehensible and a huge booster of settlements. He would “gladly build the condos if the government allowed it” when asked for comment.

Epshtein told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that his employees were hearing talk about the "day after" the war and one option discussed was reoccupying Gaza and reestablishing Israeli settlements there. Another post advertises "presale" lots on a map of Gaza, dividing it into regions named after the evacuated Gush Katif settlements. It also includes the settlement of "Nova," named for the Supernova rave targeted by Hamas in the Oct. 7 massacres, and "Upper Nova," which is billed as a new city for ultra-orthodox Haredi Jews.

Seems like the office staff put a little more than “15 mins for the lulz” in photoshop to mock up the house render, given that there’s community names, maps, and lot layouts. What a lovely bunch of ghouls.

Those are selling dirt cheap right now, too.

Well this particular actor has been quite successfully "Jewifying", to use your term, the West Bank.

If you look at the increase of settlements between Oslo and Camp David, you can see why Camp David was a non-starter for the Palestinians.

Now Gaza will slowly be clawed away and the occupiers will ask why the Palestinians don't want peace.

Downvoters be like "I don't see a problem"
