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
