"He told the network that the “obvious appearance” of the war on #Gaza is that "thousands of innocent #Palestinians are being killed, as well as many #Israeli soldiers," adding that "from every point of view, this is obnoxious and outrageous."

Social Equality Minister May Golan hit back at the former premier, writing: “The only crime in this war is your spitting in the faces of (Israeli army) fighters who are currently fighting the modern-day Nazi enemy. And yes, there are innocent people in Gaza - 58 to be exact,” referencing Israeli captives.

Only in Israel would you have a "social equality Minister" openly and explicitly calling for genocide.

Israel is a fascist terrorist-state run by a defacto dictator. I'm not at all surprised some random bureaucrat supports the genocide, I assume most do. Now that Israel has voted its way into fascism they will need to shoot their way out to defeat it. I don't mean shooting Gazans, I mean the supporters of a free democratic system need to shoot their way through Israeli politicians.

Unfortunately there is no bloc of supporters of democracy in Israel. The current political situation is a public that is angry that the government isn't doing genocide hard enough, while the government is trying to explain that it's going as hard as it can without ending up in the Hague.

So are, in this context “obnoxious and outrageous.”

Sure, it’s outrageous in some sense of the word, but it’s far on the other side of egregious, base, despicable, horrifying.

Oh and there’s one more word for it: fucking genocide.
