A famous television producer in Israel has come under intense scrutiny following the uncovering of a series of inflammatory social media posts in which he called for a "Holocaust" against the people of Gaza.

Elad Barashi, who has worked in the Israeli entertainment industry for several years, sparked outrage after posting on X: "Good morning, let there be a Shoa (Holocaust) in Gaza."

In another post, he wrote, "I can't understand the people here in the State of Israel who don't want to fill Gaza with gas showers... or train cars... and finish this story! Let there be a Holocaust in Gaza."

Menachem Begin was leader of the Irgun, not the Lehi. Although these groups were both extremists. He became prime minister two decades later. Yes, he was a right winger and considered armed conflict to be inevitable. He also became prime minister by catering to the underserved and discriminated Mizrahi population, that had to flee from persecution in Arab countries to Israel.

Another former terrorist becoming President is right next door with Yasser Arafat.

Jews were also massacred and expelled at the time like in 1929 in Hebron and during the 1947/48 war.

That said of course Deir Yassin was a big crime.

Yitzhak Shamir was the second leader of Lehi after Stern was killed, he too was prime minister.

Not a good look when you have multiple terrorist leaders become prime minister.

As to the 1929 massacre, it was bad, but you can sort of understand the urge to fight against colonizers. Which the Jewish population was already starting to become thanks to the Balfour Declaration and the British betrayal of the Arab fighters who served under T.E. Lawrence.

As to the 1947/1948 war... Some Palestinians fought back, but they were out gunned thanks to Poland of all places. Hundreds of Palestinian villages were depopulated, either through outright massacres or threats of massacres, and none of those people were ever allowed to go home. Their land seized by foreign occupiers, who gave it to their friends.

Which has been the story ever since. Zionists, often foreign born, come in, steal some land, kill some people, and face no consequences because they have the backing of foreign military hardware.

Hebron had a very old Jewish community. It was part of the old Yishuv for centuries. These weren’t colonizers but indigenous.

You’re leaving out the reason why most Zionists come to Israel. They come as refugees from persecution to the only place they can go.
