Meanwhile, strikes in Gaza and assassinations in Lebanon continue

Israel’s Knesset passed a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state on Thursday.

The bill, co-sponsored by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition along with right-wing parties in the opposition, was passed by an overwhelming majority of 68 votes, with only nine MKs voting against it.

Benny Gantz, seen by many leaders in the West as a more moderate figure than Netanyahu, voted in favour of the bill, along with his party.

      If it helps - although I’m sure you’re not hearing anything new here - plenty of people understand that Israel doesn’t represent the Jewish people. Much as Israel likes to pretend they do, and much as politicians agree because it suits their geopolitical goals, it’s not true.

      Edit: I know for a fact this isnt new info because two other people said the same thing in this thread. Oh well, I’ll just add my voice to theirs.

      I’m an atheist but find religions fascinating as a concept. From what I understand about Judaism,

      It’s just kind of proper fucked being Jewish.

      Is the essential Jewish experience that has been passed down to you by your ancestors for millenia, so at least you have that going for you?

      From what you say, it sounds like the main reason antisemitism still exists is zionism :/
