I would hate being related to Netanyahu. Said leader is such an evil prick.
Jonas, I was with you until, “Keep in mind this citation is from Wikipedia, largely run by jews and with some ties to Israeli startups, so this are very conservative estimations.” This is characteristic of conspiracy theories and hate speech and it’s unfortunate you hold this view.
Also the fact that you decided to bring up the Rothschilds when I brought up the persecution of Jews in Europe tells me you are a Jew hater, ready to engage in whataboutism if presented a conflicting perspective, and jackson9 was right to call you out for that. You accusing the Jews of controlling Wikipedia is like when Islamophobic racists accused all Muslims and Middle Easterners of being terrorists shortly after 9/11. You need to unlearn this type of bigotry.
And to set the record straight, I don’t deny a genocide happened in Gaza because there evidently was one based on those numbers and the dehumanizing tactics of the IDF. But blaming all Jews like you just implied Jonas is similar to guilting all Germans for the holocaust – that is not ok.
Edit: Jonas technically you blamed most jews, rather than all of them but that is still reminiscent of that antisemitic trope “jews running the media”
I completely agree with you that Jews are overrepresented in those fields. But saying they “control X thing” is obviously a hostile and inflammatory position.
I agree the Likud Party is a barrier to peace BUT most of the Knesset is not for a “greater Israel” and do want peace and a two state solution. Jonas can’t even give Israel credit because before the war there weren’t Jews inside the Gaza Strip.
I feel sorry for him for having to be related to a genocidal asshole
Israel is not committing genocide.
Yes, it VERY much is. It’s the longest, most widely documented genocide in History. There are countless 4k videos, photos, in-depth testimonies, and audios, as well as compelling evidence of the IDF attempting to hide and/or destroy all the evidences. You can be Christian and criticise the modern State of Israel you know… There’s nothing in the bible that commands Christians to defend governments and armies, the biblical Israel and the STATE Israel are two VERY DIFFERENT things.
These figures may be inaccuracte, correct them if they’re wrong, but my interjection is not an attempt sway opinions. It’s just to give a slightly more in depth, contextual understanding, with a few figures.
The Palestinian population has risen from lowest estimate of 1.3 million, to higher estimates of 2 million, circa 1948, to the current population of 15-16 million in the surrounding regions. There’s probably been 9.5 million displacements of the Palestinians since 1948. Since 1948 Israel and its forces, has probably caused over 140,000 Palestinian deaths.
It’s likely much more than that, since 48
Like I said, if you can correct the numbers, please do. These are the figures availble with quick web searching.
During WW2 A LOT of innocent Germans died, which was obviously tragic. Were the Allies the bad guys in WW2 because of the number of non-Nazi’s killed? The fact is simple if Hamas agrees to leave power and return every hostage there will be no more killing. Hamas started this war. I have problems with the Likud Party but to say Israel was never interested in peace is BS. They have offered time and time again for a two state solution. and you can’t even acknowledge that they took all the Jewish settlements out of Gaza as an act of peace. The way you talk about Jews running wikipedia is anti-semitic BTW.
The Bible says those who curse israel will be cursed. Genesis. But on topic why do they try to give warnings to Palestinians when they bomb a hamas headquarters? Every Palestinian live lost is a tragedy but it is a war. If Canada killed the proportion of americans as hamas did to israel on October 7th do you think realistically there would be a Canada left? Israel is showing restraint on a war they didn’t start.
That phrase does not equal a call for blind commitment to Israeli government and army, nor does it refers to anything related to the modern STATE of Israel, wich is the subject at hand. It’s not about Israel or the Jewish people as a symbol, or Jerusalem, etc… It’s about a modern day, highly equipped, U.S backed military force that’s been committing atrocities for literally decades now. You speak of “warnings” and “terrorist infrastructure”, as if we’re not talking about an extremely asymmetric warfare, where in one side you have a nuclear power with BILLIONS worth of military weaponry, and in the other side you have what’s essentially rugged groups of militias using mostly old, damaged assault rifles and rockets that can barely scratch the Iron Dome. Those warnings are nothing but performative BS, they know they won’t have time or means to relocate to a “safe” space. The “terrorist infrastructure” argument is another propaganda BS that only the American religious right eats it up, they are very clearly targeting civilian areas where THEY KNOW they’re going to kill women and children(wanna use the “human shield” argument to justify this, too?). They obviously just wanted to flatten Gaza as much as possible to make it unliveable for Palestinians, giving them no option other than move to the West Bank, that was always the plan. Do you know there’s Christian Palestinians? Do you know how many orthodox churches in Gaza the IDF has bombed? Or how every non-jewish person is created like a second class citizen in Israel? You as a Christian has absolutely no moral obligation to defend a Jewish supremacist State that doesn’t follow any humanistic Christian philosophy and has killed nearly a million people, INCLUDING many Christians. And that’s not even counting all the reporters who died while covering the bombing, lots of images and photos of IDF’s crimes buried under the rubble.
1st of all the warnings are not BS. Hamas doesn’t fight like a governing authority. They hide as civilians and don’t care how many of their people die. They build their headquarters in hospitals like a bunch of cowards. 2nd the flatting gaza thing makes no sense. They completely left gaza in 2005. Israel and Egypt didn’t have the blockade till 2007 when the terror tunnels by hamas were around for a year. Can you at least give israel credit for evacuating in 2005 for peace? If hamas surrendered the two state solution can become a reality.
“killed nearly a million people”
Citation?
“As of 29 November 2025, at least 80,100+ Palestinians and 2,093+ Israelis killed in the Gaza war with a further 1,900,000 Palestinians displaced within Gaza and 135,000 Israeli evacuees. Indirect deaths likely to be several times higher than those killed by violence, with estimates for total Palestinian deaths in the Gaza war are between 186,000-335,500”
Keep in mind this citation is from Wikipedia, largely run by jews and with some ties to Israeli startups, so this are very conservative estimations. Who in their right minds think all these deaths are terrorists? What level of brainwashing is required to justify this? There’s no logical or moral justification for these numbers. The State of Israel is not interested in peace, they’ve always instigated conflicts so they would cause a reaction and then justify killing civilians hiding behind the excuse of pursuing terrorists, and the fact that they hide between civilians is not an excuse to bomb everyone, they have the technology and trained soldiers to specifically target active Hamas members, but they instead always decided to proceed with ruthless, devastating bombing campaigns that they know will kill an ungodly amount of women and children. I recommend you all start watching what people like Dave Smith and Jocko Willink have to say about this topic, they give a lot of insight and perspective. And that’s all I have to say about this, for now.
Very high death toll indeed, but nowhere near a million. You’d be better off rounding up to “half a million”. Just from a statistical and numerical point of view.
