Thousands of Israelis joined a far-right Independence Day march on Tuesday in the south, led by Jewish activists advocating for resettling Gaza and forcing Palestinians to leave the enclave.
Two activists participating in the march crossed the border into Gaza and were arrested by Israeli forces near the Erez crossing.
The march was supported by lawmakers speaking at the event, including two cabinet members: Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, who is a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir of Otzma Yehudit.
The ADL are about as credible as Gwynneth Paltrow at this point but you’re right, we don’t need to play into his strategy and go there, because genocidal settler colonialism is a much closer analogy.
There’s an interesting book by Sven Lindqvist that convincingly argues that the blueprint for the Holocaust was basically there in previous colonial practices, eg the death camps for the Herero and Namaqua people in the Namibian Genocide.
