Israeli Housing Minister Yoav Galant, of the Kulanu Party, today declared that yesterday’s US claims that Syria’s government has built a crematorium to dispose of executed prisoners, a fact Syria denies, means “the time has come to assassinate Assad.” He went on to liken Assad’s Syria to Nazi Germany.
It’s unusual for an MP to publicly demand the assassination of a neighboring head of state, and it’s clearly outside the purview of the Israeli Housing Ministry to make such a decision. Galant’s status as a former general appears to be his basis for making the proclamation.
Galant declared Assad to be “the tail of the snake,” and insisted that Israel could assassinate him and then focus on starting a war with Iran, whom he identified as the “head of the snake.” Picking a fight with Iran of course is a long-standing Israeli priority.
Galant conceded that it might not be practical to assassinate Assad, and that it would be illegal under international law, but insisted Assad “doesn’t have a place in this world” and needs to be killed outright. Again, Galant presented this conclusion primarily on the basis of yesterday’s US State Department claim about a crematorium, which has not been independently confirmed, and which Syria denies.
Good grief…
Typical f-ing idiot believing absolute propaganda from corporate/state media of the U.S. This media here is so full of cr*p that they have become the conspiracy theorists. The real slaughter is from President Trump now with his indiscriminate bombing of civilians. where is big mouth Israel minister?
There will be a day for the oppressor when he will be crushed like garlic. – Palestinian proverb
Palestinians have been oppressing Israelis.
Yeah, and Blacks have been oppressing South Africans for far too long. And a good indian is a dead indian, bla, bla, bla. Your CD is scratched, pal.
How much are you getting paid?
Time to pull the plug on Zionism.
If one of our enemies said something similar about offing our president we would be threatening annihilation as we speak.
They seem to be reasonably safe in the US, in most of Europe and in Iran.
They seemed to be reasonably safe in Germany & Poland, too.
When things go badly, people feel better when they can blame a scapegoat. Not only is that bad for the scapegoat, but it means that the actual problems are not being dealt with.
No comparison possible: in 1930 Germany and Poland (and other european countries), public discourse blaming something we don’t see today. There is such a thing as “anti-antisemitism” nowadays.
If had twenty neighbors and could not get along with any of them I think I’d be a bit introspective about my behavior.
5-Arab countries attacked Israel on the day it was reborn before Israel even had a chance to do anything wrong. I think you should direct your attention to the behavior of the Arab countries.
You mean the day Palestine was re-colonized?
You want others to believe that you are not safe at all .If so you can not exploit plunder them as you go on doing today.I will not be surprised, in fact I expect it you are pushing so hard, if there is a backlash against you in the USA itself, because you have become so intolerant. What happened in Germany was only a backlash.You exploit that .Holocast,”Cui Bono”?
I always wonder even after having a nation all for yourself why you remain in America a like vampires and vultures sucking the blood and flesh of America and still complaining.
Same reason why Muslims and Christians stays in India even after partition.
You are chasing me even to Antiwar.Good.But you do not understand me even after that .Because you are as much selfish and as much brutal as the Israelis.You will never understand the pain of the oppressed.Thank you
You are the one who is an oppressor. Why you dont support reservation to oppress the deserved candidate? You hate Israeli because they are minorities and Kafirs. Will you support the return of Kaaba to Arab Pagans? No. Do you support building of Ram Temple? No.
What is their to understand you? You are playing victim when you are a oppressor and hate minorities and Kafirs. You are just full of hate.
