    I just want to affirm that it’s pretty clear to anyone with 1st grade level reading comprehension that you’re not defending Netanyahu but just pointing out that the title of the post is incorrect. Some of these replies are wild.

      I just want to affirm that it’s pretty clear to anyone with 1st grade level reading comprehension that they are defending Netanyahu and spreading Zionist talking points in other comments across this thread. Some of these replies are spot-on.

      They are casting Netanyahu’s supposed fears as legitimate. It would be OK if they said that Netanyahu thinks this and that. It is quite a different thing to cast what that deranged criminal thinks as an obvious truth.

      I repeat: if they had written “Netanyahu believes that there is a danger of Israel being annihilated and therefore draws a parallel with the Bar-Kochba uprising”, that would have been perfectly fine. What they wrote instead was “Israel is in danger of being annihilated. That’s why Netanyahu draws the parallel”. That is abso-fucking-lutely defending Netanyahu’s ends, even if they say they disagree with his means.

        What I wrote was: „Hamas would destroy Israel if they could.“ I‘am absolutely certain they don’t have the military power to do so.
