How dare the Israelis not let themselves get genocided. The audacity.
- Cyph0n 9mo agoAt what point in its history was Israel ever in actual danger of being “genocided”? This rhetoric circles back to the self-victimization complex btw.
- idop 9mo agoEvery day since its first day as a state. There are several countries with billions of people whose stated, official objective is the destruction of Israel. Iran has giant countdown clocks and advertisements for the destruction of Israel. They have laws against peace with Israel. The Houthis literally have "Death to Israel" (and America) on their flag.

- markus_zhang 9mo agoApparently at the beginning and throughout the Cold War, IMO. Not to say that I want to blame on just one side, though.
- Cyph0n 9mo agoNo, Israel has never been seriously threatened with elimination. Even in 1948, they were militarily superior and more organized than all of their neighbors. They in fact proved this in 1967. But they sure love to claim that they were at the cusp of elimination at various points - again, the self-victimization complex in action :)
- markus_zhang 9mo ago> Even in 1948, they were militarily superior and more organized than all of their neighbors. Yeah I think that's why they were not wiped out, not that their neighbours were super good heart. They were and still are less competent.
- Cyph0n 9mo agoThe point is that they were never in danger of being wiped out.
