This is precisely the point. The current #Israeli government does not represent all Jews. It doesn't represent most Jews. Most Jews do not support #Genocide. Most Jews abhor the slaughter of children. Most Jews hate the idea of concentration camps. Most Jews do not want to see a #FinalSolution to the #Palestinian question.

The Israeli government — and the #Settler movement they encourage — are #Fascist, #Racist and #Criminal.

Most Jews are not.

Sadly, the current Israeli government seems to represent most of the Israelis.

The people we should be most worried about are the Palestinians, of course; but I wonder what will happen with the Israeli people after that.

Being guilty of genocide lefts serious scars. Most of Germans could claim ignorance of the worst of Nazi crimes, but can Israelis say the same about Netanyahu's? Will they ever be able to see the atrocity of what they are doing? Whatever the answer, they are not going to be OK.

And that kind of trauma is not going to be good for anyone.

Those atrocities roots are in the traumas of the past. I shudder to think what present atrocities will get us in the future.

Specially knowing that present ones are totally unchecked.

@jgg one has to assume that, as they were elected by the #Israeli electorate, and as they seem to have support in opinion polls in #Israel, #Netanyahu's band of #criminals, #psychopaths and #terrorists are supported — or at least tolerated — by the majority of the Israeli people.

And this is why I think that in generations to come, the I-word, 'Israeli', will be as impossible to speak in polite conversation as the N-word is now: it will be an insult so appalling people will shudder at it.

@jgg the atrocities currently being done to the #Palestinians will cause grave trauma for them, too. Few children growing up within 200 kilometres of the Wailing Wall will get through without dreadful psychological scarring.

Being the son of someone who had killed children and had fun doing it must be really dreadful.
