Israel has issued a threat to France and the UK that any moves to recognize a Palestinian state will see Tel Aviv annex parts of the occupied West Bank in response, according to a 26 May report by Haaretz.

    I guess it means “full mask off”. Wait, that’s what they’ve been doing for the past years anyhow. Hmmm.

    Also how would that be retaliation against France and the UK? It’s like any tough movie criminal’s favorite trick: I will torture not you, but this person you feel for until you give me what I want!

    But seriously, my octogenarian parents would probably gobble it up and blame anybody who recognizes Palestine for being too confrontational, thus making lasting peace impossible. I kid you not.

      yeah. it’s fucking sad the amount of zionist rhetoric stuck in folks like that. i mean to be “fair”* they were like 10 when israel “became” a “state.”

      • fair would be that they grew up watching zionists do a genocide and be against it TODAY. but noooooo the “greatest generation” and their boomer kids are straight assholes.

        I wonder how much of it is (dis)information warfare. I’m glad these things are coming to broader attention now, but it’s probably been happening right from the start.

        Also Germans. They can hardly start accusing Israel of genocide, even today.
