    A Likud party member who is A-Okay with Nazis…

    Continuing the traditions started with the Lehi terrorist organization.

    That story is sort of wild, Avraham Stern and Yitzhak Shamir tried for several months to ally themselves with the Nazis, Fascist Italy, or anyone fighting the British in WW2.

    They also carried out terrorist attacks and assassinations of anyone who they believed stood in the way of a Jewish ethnostate based on Nazi race science, just with Jews put at the top. This included other Jews who were seen as too friendly with either the British or Arabs.

    Stern was killed and Shamir took over Lehi, and was leader for some of the bloodiest attacks on Arabs leading up to the 1948 war. Prompting this open letter.

    Skipping ahead a bit to 1983, Shamir became the second Likud PM, and Netanyahu’s mentor. He also issued out the infamous Lehi service medal.

    Nazi’s don’t necessarilly have to be anti-jew or anti-israel to be nazis. The idea that somehow the opposite of a nazi is a jew is completely ignorant.

    Don’t make me tap the sign:

    Authoritarians owe their allegiances first to hegemony, and second to murder.

    That’s how Israeli state officials can vibe with actual fucking Nazis and still turn around and say that you’re a Nazi if you want them to stop murdering non-combatants in Palestine. If they see it as helping to enforce hegemony, to create civilization out of the barrel of a gun, they can (temporarily) set aside the murder they plan to do to each other.
