  • wipe Israel off the map

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 1 13:10:28 2023
    It's worth seeing Hamas leadership in their own words, in which they
    vow to repeat the atrocities of Oct. 7th until they wipe Israel off
    the map and eliminate the state altogether. Palestinian civilians
    *must* be protected. But these are insane zealots.

    I'd say the Gaza strip will be wiped off the map as a refuge for
    "Palestinian" terrorists long before Israel goes anywhere!

    Last I knew was their 'fireworks' were still being sent upwards
    towards Israel while IDF levels their play-ground in Gaza. But then,
    they want a cease fire without showing restraint.

    Play with fireworks... get burnt.

    On this escapade of theirs, they may fully experience a 19th Nervous
    Breakdown, but for whatever reason, they won't raise a white flag.

    How about Netanyahu in his own words comparing the Israeli response to a biblical genocide?

    https://www.commondreams.org/news/netanyahu-genocide

    Declaring the start of a "second stage" of Israel's war on
    Gaza--which he described as a "holy mission"--Netanyahu said that
    "you must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy
    Bible."

    According to the Hebrew Bible, the nation of Amalek was an ancient
    archenemy of the Israelites whose extermination was commanded by God
    to Saul via the prophet Samuel.

    "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have,
    and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and
    suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass," states the Old Testament in
    1 Samuel 15:3.

    The holy text further states that Saul infuriates God by sparing
    some of the Amalekites and their livestock.

    This is a nation with a lot of religious extremists who will have no
    trouble hearing the call to genocide.

    From news scans, I believe their focus is to eliminate Hamas, not
    Palestinian civilians.
    ==============================

    Netanyahu Accused of 'Genocidal Intentions' in Gaza After 'Holy
    Mission' Speech

    "The biblical reference to Amalek is genocidal," noted one theologian
    after the prime minister invoked an ancient enemy. "The Bible commands
    to wipe out Amalek, including women, babies, children, and animals." =============================

    I do not have a biblical background, so the following

    Amalek - was a nation described in the Hebrew Bible as a staunch enemy
    of the Israelites

    Would this include Palestinian civilians? Palestinian civilians were
    given a warning that IDF was coming, so they are not the target

    To my awareness, Netanyahu is not acting like Pol Pot (Cambodian
    genocide).

    Without taking a deep dive on this topic, I suspect off-hand that
    cited article is not in sync with current reality. Each side has its
    talking points, but currently, Hamas is analogous to Amalek since they
    have stated their objective of eliminating Jews. =====================================

    Accused - to charge with a fault or offense

    Bullshit

    I was thinking something similar: beware of any nation reverting to
    Biblical references in defense of its military ambitions. America's
    Manifest Destiny was equally horse shit.

    Smite Amalek, fer fuck's sake.

    Considering the end result, westward expansion, most likely not.

    Back then, it was about land grabs by various States....so what
    country, besides US, would have grabbed that land?

    IIRC, a lot of that land was "bought"
