    The party favored to win calls Israeli “settlers” what they actually are: terrorists.

    Don’t listen to all the propaganda about how “everyone is the same”, it’s all propaganda to depress turnout and let the worst options win.

    Especially from all the .ml accounts that have a renewed interest in mainstream communities right before important elections.

      Can you provide a source for him saying that?

      Last time I checked he disapproved building Israeli settlements everywhere only because it’d lead to more Palestinians on Israeli land.

      “People who fail to understand… will lead [us] to a bi-national state,” Eisenkot said, joining a long list of former Israeli generals who have sounded the alarm against unlimited settlement expansion and continued control over millions of Palestinians, which they argue threatens Israel’s ability to remain a majority-Jewish and democratic state.

      Same guy who says any two-state solution is ‘delusional’, and fully supports extermination of Palestinians btw.

      Don’t let people make you think he’s a bad guy though. I’m sure he’s cool under all that genocide and crimes against humanity.

        No sure what was hard, I searched his name, “settler” and “terrorist” and this is the first result:

        Yashar chair Gadi Eisenkot says settler attacks in the West Bank are “Jewish terror under the auspices of the government of Israel,” after European diplomats were assaulted in the West Bank today.

        “Once again, within a single day, squads of violent lawbreakers attack foreign citizens — and this time, diplomats and official officeholders,” he says.

        Eisenkot says the attacks are “burning up the last shreds of legitimacy the State of Israel has left, endangering security forces, and harming the settlement enterprise in Judea and Samaria, and national security.”

        Edit:

        Since I answered your question, can you tell me why you spend so much time saying voting is pointless and people on the left should never vote?

        Because man, it seems like that’s most of your post history from a glance

        Why spend so much time trying help fascists in multiple countries?

      correction, he calls the outpost settlers (Hilltop youth) terrorists, not the settlers. He supports the illegal settlements and the ethnic cleansing they cause.
