David Azoulai, head of the Metula Council, proposed sending all Gazans to refugee camps in Lebanon and flattening the whole Strip so it becomes an empty museum like Auschwitz.

    These people are psycho. Holy hell the irony of saying something like that is astounding.

    Wow, he said it out loud. I mean, looking at it from the outside it sure looks like they are trying to level it but goddamn, that dude actually SAID it.

    If anyone wants to dismiss this as a statement by an irrelevant fringe person, remember this: Poll results were also hawkish when it came to the use of force in Gaza: 57.5% of Israeli Jews said that they believed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were using too little firepower in Gaza

    I remember a piece I read in about 2003, writer for new Yorker or Slate or something was home for the holidays with her Japanese-American family. Her family, around the Christmas table was talking about the post 9-11 world, was saying the US should have tighter security and more restrictions on “Muslims” in the US, though admitting the vast majority of them were the same as other citizens.

    The writer was horrified that her family–who had a grandfather in Manzanar at the table–was so ready to trod down the same road only a few decades later despite their firsthand experience in the US after Pearl harbor.

    If those folks are so easily manipulated by propaganda, what hope does an average person have?

      Those folks are representative of the average person.

      The average person is ignorant of history and extremely susceptible to both propaganda, and repeating the same mistakes of the past.

        The average person is also tribalistic and loves to justify their own actions, therefore atrocities are only bad when the other side does them.

    Jesus Christ… I used to joke about “you know, it’s only a matter of time before some asshole Israeli starts talking about a ‘final solution’ to ‘the Palestinian problem.’” But here we are…

    Well, he was referring to the present day memorial / museum, so I guess that’s better than an active slave labor / death camp.

    Not exactly an aspirational vision though.
