Mamdani Is Right. Netanyahu Belongs Behind Bars. (jacobin.com)

Mayor Zohran Mamdani charged Benjamin Nentayahu with genocide, said he is unwelcome in New York City, and called for his arrest. Two years ago, that would have been unimaginable. Going forward, it should be a litmus test.

How much do you want to bet a Mossad agent has had him in his sights before?

Two years ago, I would have said he is Pali-pilled beyond reach.

Now I think he is simply stating a fact.

Sadly this isn’t some new development after Oct 7, the Nakba was in 1948 and the details we now know of Israeli atrocities from that event are truly horrifying. The Israelis have been brutally terrorizing their neighbors for over 75 years, Bibi is just a natural extension of that campaign of terror. Israel is the most egregious terrorist organization in the world, bar none.

That's a wild telling of what happened in 1948.

After the Brits left Mandatory Palestine it was basically an existential war for Israel. Israel declares independence and immediately gets invaded by Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan and Syria, supported by the Arab Liberation Army and corps of volunteers from Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Yemen.

After the war Israel extended it's borders. Some say for security, some say as territorial conquest for more Jews to settle.

This is very much not as one-sided as you make it out to be.

It was a war against Israeli ethnic cleansing, which they started even before their declaration of independance.
