Sad how many people don't seem to get not persecuting people based on their race/religion/orientation, does not mean blindly protecting people who are doing terrible things.
Judge people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Which to be quite frank, Netanyahu's character does not appear very good.
Back in the day, Einstein and several other prominent Jews called herut (the political party that became Likud) Nazis. What’s happening now shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. And that was back on 1948… when actual Nazism was a fresh wound
(There’s a signed letter that was sent as an op ed to the New York Times.)
Israel was once a shining light of the potential of socialism and democracy. Those nationalist terrorists that went on to form likud are the rot that has turned it into what it is. King, being a christian socialist, I'm sure saw great value in a socialist state with religious underpinnings. Unfortunately Zionism proved to be a stronger influence.
Wrong. Israel has always been a genocidal settler colonialist state.
It's been like this since the beginning, though.
I found this about the letter, I don't vouch for the website, just googled it:

slow clap and a tip of the cap
Like how abused children often become child abusers themselves...
Deeply conservative religious folks are frequently fascist.
It comes with the notion that their religion is the right one, and everyone else’s is wrong, and of course its entirely appropriate to kill them for it.
Zionist’s are on par with the worst zealots of any other religion on that score.
Yeah, he was right in the middle of his rightwing takeover of the government by neutering the power of Israeli courts when this war broke out, and he isn't polling well. I suspect this is informing his decision making.
He's a goniff.
God is dead. Nations are dead.
You can't stop the universe from changing.
