Sounds wild to claim that the side, a secular democracy that has regular elections, and guarantees equal rights to all its citizens, who are made up of multiple ethnic groups, is a "fascist ethnostate", while the other side is an ethnically homogenous one party state run by a government who's founding charter invokes nazi-era antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Ah yes, "wild" to claim that the country ran by fascists, actively undertaking a genocide to ethnically cleanse arabs and muslims from their holy land is a fascist ethnostate. Also, it is a well known fact that Israeli Arabs are second class citizens. Their politicians literally call out for purges. Dunno if you're in denial, just not aware due to the propaganda (totally not your fault if so) or if you're a zionist spreading lies and misinformation.
So what are Israeli Arab citizens not allowed to do that Jewish ones are? Given that its a "well known fact" they're second class citizens?
I'll give you that Smotrich and Ben Gvir are fascists if that's who you're referring to but it's hardly accurate to claim they "run the country", nor are their views representative of the average Israeli given they get a pretty small percentage of the vote.
Also- nothing I said was a lie or misinformation as far as I'm aware but feel free to point out where you disagree.
Can you admit that Israel is conducting a genocide?
I'd prefer if you can address what I've already said and answer my question first? Then we can change the subject and talk about that.
You said I'm either a liar or misinformed and I'm still waiting to hear why you think that too.
Hahah yeah, no, fuck off, that's the bare minimum to interact with me, I'm not gonna waste my time with some genocide denier. Bye.
Yeah sounds more like you're the one who's misinformed mate and that's why you're lashing out and calling me names. Take care. X
Wasn't the USA a democracy when they was murdering Vietnameses, Afghans and Iraqis? Netanyahu said that Gazans are Amalek which mean Israelis should murder all Palestinians including infants. The war criminal Australia is hosting also said there is no innocent Palestinians
Look at that amazing democracy Israel is and how they love protecting jews

They also bulldozered a cemetery hosting allies soldiers who died and contributed to saving Jews from the holocaust
