The classic "democracy" and "freedoms" paradox.

Iran for example is accused of silencing critics, when everyone else does so as a "normal thing" but Iran is the boogeyman.

I can only imagine the level of propaganda by Israel in trying to downplay their heinous crimes....

So Israel is a "developed world democracy", but criticism shouldn't be allowed and dissenters should be considered enemies?

FWIW, Naza appears to be a fairly in depth documentary where Israeli soldiers give detailed accounts on how the Gaza war worked from the inside, including expansive targets, and well known high civilian death toll.

> Can you explain to me how that’s fascism? "We have lots of babies so it can't be fascism" is a really out-there argument I'm having trouble following. It's like posting "Turtle is purple ice cream 203-B"; I don't follow.

Now we're advocating ethnic cleansing of Zionist Jews from New York City?

Zionist isn't an ethnicity, similar to how Nazi isn't an ethnicity.

By definition if you are a Zionist Jew you would not be living in New York or anywhere outside of Israel, if you had the means to do so which nearly all Jews do given the support from the Israeli government, they will even pay for your flight.

If you have members of your country that think the country is in the wrong and you tell them “then leave the country”… it should be pretty obvious.
