I decided to delete the below post as some people got offended and took it out of context
So here I am re-posting it (screenshot below) and adding context
I’m addressing it not to apologize, but instead call out those that took offense by misrepresenting what I said, or the complete idiots that played the “anti-semitic” or “Israel hater” cards
It’s 2026. These excuses don’t work anymore; people see right through that BS. Do these people even realize they’re claiming Smotrich (who even most ISRAELIS disapprove of) represents ALL Jews? 😂 It’s like me saying Senator Lindsey Graham or Putin represent all Christians, and any criticism of them is criticism of Christianity. Or that some Indonesian or Saudi Minister represents all of Islam
What a dumb analogy
Here’s the message I was getting across with that post:
Smotrich advocated for Israel to level 10 civilian buildings in Beirut for every drone Hezbollah FIRES. That’s right, every time Hezbollah even fires a drone, he wants 10 buildings leveled
I made a comparison to a similar policy by the Nazis, which was to kill 10 civilians for every soldier of theirs killed.
Now of course a civilian and a building are not the same, but the Nazis killed civilians whenever a soldier was KILLED, while Smotrich wanted to level a building (which in many cases will have civilians inside it) for every drone FIRED (even though most drones are actually intercepted and lead to no casualties)
But that’s not even the point. The point I’m making is that Smotrich advocated for collective punishment, a war crime. What he advocated for is something NO LEADER of ANY COUNTRY and NO MILITARY has ever done: Not Russia, not the U.S., not Iran. NOBODY advocated for such destruction for each drone their enemy fires. Even Netanyahu clashed with Smotrich and shut down his idea (according to Ynet)
Also to be clear, Smotrich also advocated for “wiping out” Palestinians. He called for “no half measures… total annihilation” for parts of Gaza, and said Gaza should be “totally destroyed” and Palestinians would leave “in great numbers to third countries”
Ironically, those upset by my comparison of Smotrich’s STATEMENT to a similar policy of collective punishment by the Nazis, seem to not be aware that Smotrich himself literally called ALL Palestinians in the West Bank “Nazis”
So maybe more effort should be pointed at people like Smotrich ADVOCATING FOR WAR CRIMES rather than people like me CALING IT OUT.
