The project came after Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman decided last week to classify the Nile crocodile as a “domesticated wild animal,” despite objections from professional officials in her ministry.

The office of far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said Silman’s decision “paved the way for the project,” adding that the “pilot phase of the crocodile prison has officially begun” in one wing of Ketziot prison.

...

Ben-Gvir previously published videos from the special wing at Ketziot to show harsh detention conditions, including preventing detainees from leaving the wing, depriving them of blankets and food, and forcing them to sleep on iron sheets.

And the Germans and Austrians, are they all complicit for the Nazis? Are the Chinese all complicit for the genocide in East Turkestan, Tibet, and against other minorities? And all the other atrocities in the world today and in history? Are all the citizens guilty by association?

Why are you bringing these other things into the conversation?

I am talking about a small country that is committing a Genocide and has been for a very long time in a very small area and in a fashion that nobody who is actually paying attention in Israel could mistake as anything other than Genocide unless they simply do not want to grapple with the truth.

Yes I am concerned with Genocide wherever it is happening, but Israel is not only pursuing Genocide at a horrifying rate (and is utterly reliant on my countries weapons, money and political support to an absurd degree to do so) it is dragging the rest of the world into WW3 by refusing to stop expanding their Genocide into Lebanon and thus making there no exit ramp for the Iran War.

You are not answering my question. Are the Germans, Chinese, and all the others also guilty by association?

Why are you insistent about not talking about Israeli complicity in ethnic cleansing livestreamed for the world to see?

Oh, no, I don't reject to accuse Israel's government of genocide. But why are you refusing to answer the question. Are the Germans, Chinese, and all the others also guilty by association?

Stop this stupid run around, you know damn well the Israeli public supports the genocide.

This is not the point here. Your sock puppet claims there is something guilt by association. Why are you refusing to answer the question.? Are the Germans, Chinese, and all the others also guilty by association?

[-] shani66@ani.social 1 points 2 days ago

They've never claimed that you fucking idiot, the Israeli public supports the genocide overwhelmingly.

Thank you for your kind words.

Are the Germans, Chinese, and all the others also guilty by association?
