The genocide started in 1948, but it's been bouncing back and forth a bit. Netanyahu has been prime minister for the majority of the last decades, and he is a profoundly evil person. Like, in the 90s a prime minister of Israel signed a peace treaty with Palestine, so the Netanyahu and his ideological allies had him assassinated. The widow after Rabin directly blames Netanyahu.

He never wanted peace, but genocide. That's why he has been actively supporting Hamas—they share a common goal of maximum bloodshed. Any peaceful and stable Palestinian leadership is a threat to the Zionists. Netanyahu has controlled the media, attacked the courts, and did his best to brainwash the population through fear-based propaganda.

Today it is a genocide on Palestinians. Tomorrow Israel will reap the consequences of Netanyahu's terror regime. This is not a comforting thought - I have friends (well, one colleague) in Israel, and she's in the streets protesting constantly. That I believe her country is illegitimate does not make me any less worried about her and her family once Israel finds themselves alone with nothing but enemies and its horrors are turned back at itself. The fascist regime in Israel is a disaster for everyone.

Also for Jews outside of Israel. They all had an open invitation to move there for decades, they have refused to do so, many in spite of antisemitism in the societies where they live. That's anti-zionism in practice, yet now antisemitism is again on the rise thanks to Israel and Europe's bullshit tradition of antisemitism continues. Protect them and support them whenever you see a chance to, even if it can be a mental challenge to keep Jews and Israel as separate concepts in your mind. They really are separate.

The only ones benefiting from all of this are American evangelical Christians cheering for the rapture. They are trustworthy political allies of Netanyahu because they literally want the world to end. I guess western weapons exporters are also having a blast.

Well, sorry for rambling on. It has been going on for a long time, and once one starts to realize the extent of the problem it is easy to start hating. If you do, make sure to hate the right thing: Netanyahu, his political allies, the IDF, and Zionism are all very fair targets of hatred. May they rot.
