It isn’t about right vs left in Israel. This is about apartheid and racism because those “pesky Arabs” shouldn’t even be allowed to vote. They even tried to make Arab/Palestinian parties illegal and ineligible to run for elections. That’s a good chunk of the rhetoric in israel.
Bolso Jr was under investigation for sometime now over massive corruption scandals and embezzlement, even before his father’s presidency - which Bolso Sr then leaned on the courts to lay off at the time.
When Bolso Sr lost the presidency, the courts were back to investigating the corruption.
Bolso Jr then ran for presidency hoping for immunity and a self pardon (and pardon for Sr.). That’s why his brother said that if he loses, he has to run away. Not that there would be “retribution” (which Brazil Magats are calling it) but because it’s been a years long investigation and Jr has run out of rocks to hide under.
Israelis (as a populace) are 100x worse than the Nazis. Not just their ruling parties, but their people. Irredeemable in every way.

Yes, very true. But the majority of state governments in Brazil (the National Congress) have flipped to conservative. So it’s a big stalemate and congress will ensure that things get worse just to make Lula look bad (similar to what Republicans in the US do).
I get you. But dehumanization is a very different thing than understanding their psychopathy and colonial mindset. For me, demonization is not the same as dehumanization.
I dunno. Your initial comment seemed to be misunderstanding or misconstruing (or at worst dismissive) the data shared in the article, focusing your analysis on one point, making it inaccurate. My response was to highlight that there is more data available.
You then didn’t really consider the additional data and instead moved on to a different topic based off a part of my response which was to mention an Israeli politician (considered left). That part of my response was to show that the Left vs Right paradigm as we know it doesn’t apply to Israeli politics when their center-left also advocate for genocide (which makes the fact that more Israelis identify with being right-wing all the more concerning, since even the center-left advocate for genocide).
It was a terse response because the only interaction we’ve had is one where you seem to have misconstrued information and then been deflective/changed topic to something unrelated (considering that Yair Golan is not “anti-genocide” as referenced by prior points, he doesn’t even have a seat in parliament). So I’m not quite sure what you’re getting at.
Nobody said anything about a genocide and I don’t know anyone that’s asked for it.
Israel needs to be treated like apartheid South Africa, a full embargo until the racist state breaks. When you remove the power dynamics that allow an ethno-supremacist state to exist then it will crumble.
International allies need to continue to be vocal, petition their governments, rally in support of BDS, regular direct action, protests and blockades at ports - these are all happening now and need to continue and grow.
they’re not necessarily irredeemable people any more than the German people were after WW2
Very big clarification here and not in defense of Germans who voted for fascism. The German citizenry didn’t know that the Holocaust was happening and that’s well documented.
Israelis know exactly what’s happening. Israeli civilians have blocked aid trucks, openly hold pogroms, brag about it on their socials, politicians have it on their election campaign, and people publicly call for killing of Palestinian children because “they are future terrorists”.
I don’t know what you’re trying to whitewash here because the article and post is about the Israeli population veering further extreme right and has been for several decades (as reported by Israeli polls).
There were communist parties running against Hitler during the elections in 1933. Doesn’t change the fact that Germans voted for fascism that led to genocide.
Also, it’s interesting to highlight Yair Golan. The guy who said that Palestinian statehood is “extremely damaging to Israel”.
The leader of the left-wing party has long supported a two-state solution, but “not at this time.”
that annexing Gaza and its Palestinian population, as has been floated by the current government, is impossible: “No country in the world is ready, willing, or interested in absorbing two million Palestinians.”
So he supports the 2SS but only on Israel’s terms, when Israel wants, under Israeli military security…seems about the same decades long hollow promises from the Liberal Zionist camp that led to this point. His concern isn’t about ethnic cleansing, but that it’s not realistic.
It’s been reported on for weeks, but the other comment here is trying to downplay the increase in right wing support.
Analysts also pointed out that several parties running, including ones that are currently in power and a number that are challenging the current coalition, all advocate for the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, as one of the examples of the shift to the right.
I don’t know if you’re trying to downplay the increase in rightwing-ism.
You’re referencing one of the many polls that are mentioned in the article, and it’s definitely worth noting that “far-right” means the likes of ben-gvir. How many would vote for the “right” like Smotrich and Bibi?
Poll shows some three quarters of Jewish first-time voters identify as right or centre-right, higher than the rest of Israeli society.
The Israeli Central Elections Committee says more than half a million voters were added to the roll since the last elections in 2022. They are aged between 18 and 22 and polls show that 80 percent of them plan to vote
Around three quarters of Jewish first-time voters polled identified as “right or centre-right”, according to a recent poll for Israel’s Channel 12.
Considering that nearly everyone in Israel’s elections (even the “left of center”) advocate for genocide; I don’t think it’s wise to dismiss the findings that the majority are voting for the right (i.e. all out genocide, expulsions, pogroms).
But the looters!!
Yes, through individuals, but still doing via PACs but either a super PAC (United Democracy Project) or many smaller PACs with inconspicuous names.

Also, AIPAC is one of many pro-Israel PACs
JSTREET, JDCA, AIPAC, DMFI, JAC are some of the big ones.
Why should I or anyone else care about what douch-o-witz has to say? The fucking ghoul
But who will warn us about the scary DSA!?
Scotty, you don’t know what logical fallacies are to be talking about them. You’ve demonstrated time and time again to not follow any logic.
I’ve made no claims about what he said. I’ve pointed out his relationship to the Japanese government based off what the article says.
Once again, your racism (as all racism) doesn’t follow logic.
Not too different demographic
There have been countless reports of Palestinians with Israeli citizenship being asked arbitrary questions, being held up for hours from voting, or the voting locations randomly shutting down for no reason.
