Just the utter nonsense and delusion of paying fealty to another nation and spouting elaborate lies in order to showcase alliance. And how much retribution is brought upon any who dare disagree. Trying to think of how to represent this in my swn campaign

Israel was a “robust, thriving, multiracial, multiethnic and multireligious democracy which shares our democratic values,” and is “not now or never has been a racist state.” It is “the only nation” in the Middle East that shares not just “our democratic values,” but “the values of human law.” It’s “standing in that steely breach as a force for democracy, a force for freedom, as a voice for free people.” Some saw no contradiction in insisting that Israel isn’t a racist country while also affirming “the need for Israel to remain both Jewish and democratic” (emphasis mine).

It’s also been a charge made by not just storied survivors of South African apartheid like Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, but even some former Israeli prime ministers

Herzog’s own 2018 statement that marriage between Jews and non-Jews is a “plague,” or a former Israeli justice minister posting a passage calling for the killing of Palestinian civilians and the “little snakes” who are their children, to a former Israeli defense minister stating that Palestinians “are like animals, they aren’t human.”
