Israel wants to kill all Palestinians. This helps achieve this. They're committing genocide.

If that is true, Israel would now actually, literally be persuing the exact same politics Nazi Germany did until they escalated their attempted genocide by making it intolerable to genocide by industrial scale murder. Not a good look for Israel, at all.

Please don't take HN threads into hard-core ideological and/or nationalistic flamewar. I realize this topic tends strongly in that direction, but that's not a reason to go there, it's a reason not to go there.

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Other commenters are doing it too, but it's a matter of degree, and the rhetoric in your post here is a degree worse. You can make your substantive points without resorting to "cult", "stamped out", "criminal ideology" and so on. Fortunately it doesn't look like your account has a habit of doing this, so it should be easy to fix.

What is the evidence for that?

If Israel wanted them to leave, wouldn't they seek cooperation with a nation that is willing to have them, and organize mass transports there?

At least I haven't heard of any such thing.

> wouldn't they seek cooperation with a nation that is willing to have them

There is no such nation. Iirc Israeli politicians have more than once responded to critique with "you take them, then". But there aren't any takers.

Just like the Jews in Germany back before WW2, in fact.

You do realise that the people writing for Haaretz are also nationals of that country right? Maybe learn to be precise, helps in all situations.

When asked, in an representative online, poll, 47% percent of Israeli agreed that the IDF should kill all the inhabitants of cities it conquered[1].

So sure, workers at Haarez probably don't, but when the extermination feeling is widespread enough that 47% feel they can openly agree to a question proscribing the killing women and children, then insisting on the insistence on precision comes across mostly as an attempt at distraction.

Israel here obviously standing for "the current government of Israel" (with presumed majority support), not "every single Israeli person".

Fortunately many Israelis are against the ongoing genocide, but powerless to stop it.

There's a palestinian guy living in the US making the rounds on tiktok, talking to random israeli people on something like omegle. The amount of hate he gets is nothing short of depressing. Children cursing at him, IDF soldiers saying they want to kill every single person in Gaza, calling them sub-humans... sounds like the fourth reich is here already.

All this to say you're right, but the government is indocrinating more and more people for these views.

Be very wary of any such weaponized truth: you don't know how much selection bias is at play, how much confirmation bias is requested, you don't even know if the interviewees are what they say they are.

You raise a very valid point, which i will take in consideration. I don't believe it to be the case, since the person in question also shares positive interactions, and i believe some of the worst "contacts" have been doxxed. But your point still stands.

You can find the videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@HamzahSaadah

It is indeed sickening. They straight out tell you how they want all Palestinian children to die.

People seem to use the down-vote on my comment, why? I pasted it for discoverability. It is exactly what the parent is talking about, and it indeed is sickening, go check out some videos where many people say disgusting shit. If you do not think it is disgusting, then please imagine they are talking about your children?

And if you disagree with the guy, go dislike his videos.

I disagree: when anything is obviously meaning what someone obviously thinks it means, then others will apply their own obvious understanding of it to justify very non-obvious behaviours.

If Israel wanted to kill all Palestinians, wouldn't it be easier to start with the millions of Palestinians living in Israel, unarmed, instead of going into Gaza?
Re:IDF Soldiers Confess: Ordered to Shoot Unarmed Gazans at ... by pphysch on Saturday June 28, 2025 @12:47PM (#44406116)
They are doing that. Most people in Gaza were displaced from other legal Palestinian territories. Gaza is was the (big) internment camp.
