    Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, announced the seizure of 10 square kilometers (3.8 square miles) of Palestinian territory in the West Bank on Friday. The move marks the single largest land seizure by the Israeli government since the 1993 Oslo accords, according to Peace Now, a settlement watchdog group.

    “While there are those in Israel and the world who seek to undermine our right over the Judea and Samaria area and the country in general,” Smotrich said Friday, referring to the territory by its biblical name, “we are promoting settlement through hard work and in a strategic manner all over the country.”

    LMFAO So transparent…. Just finish the genocide Israel and the rest of the world can just acknowledge you are a POS and move on…. But be prepared to know empathy for WWII will be gone and you will be viewed as a bad actor and Pariah for the next 60 year.

    Surely there was some Hamas in that 10-square kilometer zone.

    @AroundTheWorld said the annex was essential or else the area was going woke!!

    I don't think Israeli government really realizes the amount of damage it's actions are causing jews around the world. They're making every jew in the world much less safer by their actions post 10/7. I was totally for eliminating hamas but they've gone over the top.

    Refused to allow aid trucks in, starve millions of Palestinians, and allowing their troops to commit war crimes without any pushback. It's insane

    The decline in Jewish populations in the Middle East was the plan from the start because these Jews became Israelis to fulfill the promise of Zionism.

    The One Million Plan (Hebrew: תוכנית המיליון, romanized: Tochnit hamillion) was a strategic plan for the immigration and absorption of one million Jews from Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa into Mandatory Palestine, within a timeframe of 18 months, in order to establish a state in that territory.[4] After being voted on by the Jewish Agency for Palestine Executive in 1944, it became the official policy of the Zionistleadership.[5][6][7][8] Implementation of a significant part of the One Million Plan took place following the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.[9][10]

    I am not sure how to explain away the loss of land in the West Bank over the last 50 years.

    There is only one side that wants to commit genocide - the Islamist Arabs. History proves it.

    I love how @AroundTheWorld somehow forgets to take into consideration that Palestinians in Gaza have no way to leave the area. They have no ability to travel and relocate outside of Gaza whereas Israelis have Visa free access to over 70+ countries. Israelis can get up and relocate tomorrow with no legal hurdles while Palestinians would get shot by Israeli snipers if they even step foot outside of Gaza.

    How can you be so disingenuous about everything you talk about? You know we're not braindead stupid like the MAGA crowd you cater to @tinman @ROXRAN

    That is because he is a Totalitarian. He only sees things in Black and white, good vs evil, when in this case you have factions of evil in Gaza and Israel.

    It’s just funny that they try to sell this peace bullshit

    like no **** your never going to have peace when you keep breaking international law taking other peoples land

    ironically it makes Israel less safe. And because they have AIPAC and other orgs blackmailing the politicians here to keep giving our tax dollars, us less safe asa result.

    History , videos , pictures and genocidal/holocaust scholars and historians are pretty clear about the active genocide going on. You and a minority for some reason keep living in this fairy tale. Your post and tweets also literally never target the source points. You’re too intelligent to come across this way.

    LOL! He thinks the way he thinks bcz he's not that smart. He refuses to accept basic facts. He still thinks Israel didn't do anything wrong by funding hamas for years. Bibi is on record saying he wanted to prop up hamas bcz it would mean Palestinians would be divided yet in his eyes they did nothing wrong.

    You're saying that fascist, racist governments can't turn on a dime and start the old genocide machine up because it didn't trend that way for 80 years? You're smarter than that, bro.

    He is not dumb. I may completely disagree with his take on zionism and his blind support of Israel, but I would not deny that he is a brilliant guy. He may have his reasons for his prejudices against Arabs or Muslims or whomever that we do not know about, and maybe he has no reasons, but our prejudices are a reflection of our human nature.

    Hes a brilliant guy??? He thought Nancy Pelosis husband was a homosexual who was having an affair with a gay person cuz "endwokeness" told him so without facts. @AroundTheWorld reminds me of elon musk. Intelligent people who have been red pilled and radicalized by right wingers on Twitter. I can give you many more examples of him blindly spewing conspiracies that made no sense.

    Whatever intelligence they had is gone. They're too far in the rabbit hole
