    This book was funded and published by Uri Tzafon, an extremist fringe group that even the Israeli Government distance themselves from

    I’m not pointing this out to try and downplay the genocide in Gaza or ignore illegal settlements, and of course there’s a discussion to be had about the extent to which small radical factions can reflect and influence the political mainstream

    But its a bit disingenuous to present this as just an ‘Israeli Children’s Book’. It’s kinda like calling Nick Fuentes an ‘American Journalist’

      A book made for children made by an Israeli author is an Israeli children’s book. Nothing disingenuous about it. I also never said it represent all israelis.

        You know exactly what he fucking means, you’re being pedantic to serve your own politic views and join the circlejerk that is Lemmy.

        It’s like saying Trump represents the American people. Oh wait, he does.

            I don’t know and I don’t care what your politics are. As I said, you’re being pedantic.

            I’m not pro genocide or ethnic cleansing. Fuck the Jews, fuck the Arabs, that place is a fucking shit storm. No interest in going anywhere near it, never had, never will. Don’t care or like their language, culture, foods etc…

              Then get the hell out of here if you don’t care. You don’t even now what politic is, if you think this is politic.
