Thousands of Israelis joined a far-right Independence Day march on Tuesday in the south, led by Jewish activists advocating for resettling Gaza and forcing Palestinians to leave the enclave.

Two activists participating in the march crossed the border into Gaza and were arrested by Israeli forces near the Erez crossing.

The march was supported by lawmakers speaking at the event, including two cabinet members: Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, who is a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir of Otzma Yehudit.

Do they not see that their “the true solution” reminds “the final solution” that Nazi were implementing with respect to Jews?

The irony is lost on some people it seems.

They intentionally make it similar so that when you make the obvious comparison, they can say "that's ridiculous, you're being extreme" and put you on the defensive.

Ummm I’m pretty sure they’re not advocating for Gazans to emigrate into Israel. Just out of Gaza

Amazing how the right is shitty to everyone in every county

It's characterized by religious extremism, and blaming minorities for problema.

To where? Expulsion to where?

It's genocide. To death.

So he's talking about the ... Final solution?

With the eradication of a whole nation?

A nation often compared to rats and cockroaches?

Where have I seen this before???

While literally creating a second Nakba. Seriously I would love all those far right or even Israeli politicians to live 1 month the life of a regular Palestinian, be it in the West Bank or Gaza. Just one month!

And then they are surprised that Palestinians don't like them and are getting radicalized. Hmmm I wonder why...

First they forbid them from leaving, now they demand they do.

I always thought Itamar son-of-a-giver was named appropriately.

This is to all the people that claim that only Netanyahu is the problem.

Though it also looks like a pretty sparse crowd relative to the recent pro-Palestinian rallies in Israel.

These are the same ones saying they aren't doing an ethnic cleansing or genocide right?

Ben-Gvir also spoke at the march, saying that what the protesters are calling for was the "true solution."

According to the ADL pointing out that "true solution" sounds a lot like "final solution" in the contrxt of Gaza is antisemitism. Ben-Gvir really loves to make it hard to avoid that comparison.

Instead I will compare the actions of the Israeli government and the IDF to the US genocide of Native Americans who were slaughtered by white people using the justification of Manifest Destiny to settle all of the land to the western coast. The US genocide involved killing a lot of Native American women and children by military forces and forced resettlement of surviving tribe members.

You mean the manifest destiny that was a direct inspiration for lebensraum, the Nazi expansionist policy? That manifest destiny?

I'm sorry I just think it's funny how fast that comparison comes full circle. It's not even a circle, it's a triangle.

I don't know, maybe comparing Israel's genocide to another genocide that is itself comparable to Nazi genocide is somehow not antisemitic, but I doubt people who call people antisemitic over this sort of thing would see it that way.

The ADL are about as credible as Gwynneth Paltrow at this point but you're right, we don't need to play into his strategy and go there, because genocidal settler colonialism is a much closer analogy.

There's an interesting book by Sven Lindqvist that convincingly argues that the blueprint for the Holocaust was basically there in previous colonial practices, eg the death camps for the Herero and Namaqua people in the Namibian Genocide.

At least there was some grandeur to the delusion of manifest destiny. Israel is where American idealism goes to die.

Man, true solution sounds so absolute, so... final.

Only a matter of time before he clicks his heels and sieg heils

The reaction from the White House once enough focus groups tell them that ignoring it costs votes:

So is their intent obvious now or are our governments guilty of aiding genocide?

Just Nazis. Yes, Israel can be compared to Nazi Germany as they are trying the same. Fuck Israel and people that support Israel can get fucked.
