Name this political party in the #MiddleEast ?

The first two national leaders from this political party were both former militant leaders, their militant groups who were ubiquitouslly described as #terrorists when they were active.

The first of these two national leaders had a famous election speech in which he describes two teenagers who blew themselves up together – one born in #Jerusalem and one in #Iraq – as symbols of national unity "Brothers! Fighters!" The plan was to kill security personnel of their opponents, but they killed only themselves, the leader still praised their suicide as heroic.

It was a point of pride for this leader that so many from the Middle East and North Africa fought for his group of violent non state actors. He boasted about their terror attacks in his campaign speeches, and won the election.

In 2010, current leader of the party had the pair who blew themselves up – and 10 other militants convicted of terrorism – added to the school curriculum as a special unit of study.

The second of those two former militant leaders was the leader of a group who controversially, and unsuccessfully, tried to ally with Germany during #WWII

Their founding charter states that between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean sea there should be sovereignty for their nation and their nation alone, their ethnicity and their religion only. #fromtherivertothesea

The first leader's militant group claimed Jordan as well, it's shown on the militant logo on the grave of the 17 year old from Jerusalem who blew himself up for his country. The grave says 18, his family say 17, the obituary on line says 20, it used to say 19 … all seems very legit?) The militant insignia on the 19 year old militant shows a hand signal that symbolises the unity of Jerusalem, but he was the one born in Iraq.

An earlier leader from the moment the militant groups arise from was nicknamed #VladimirHitler by #DavidBenGurion

Molto tempo prima, nel 1938, l'eminente politico sionista #ArthurRuppin aveva detto: "Non credo nel trasferimento di un singolo individuo. Credo nel trasferimento di interi villaggi".
Al che #DavidBenGurion si affrettò ad aggiungere: "Non vedo nulla di immorale in questo".

Non sono citazioni del "cattivo israeliano".
Sono cose dette dalle belle facce del Paese, che possono essere stampate su un francobollo o su una banconota, a cui sono intitolate università, college e strade.

Tra il 1938 e il 2024, si possono trovare decine di migliaia di citazioni razziste e crudeli da parte di leader di potere, leader il cui razzismo non era solo un sentimento personale ma una chiamata all'azione. ⬇️3

Dear Germans,

We are under no obligation to pay for your crimes. You can always give them Bavaria instead of making Palestinians pay.

“There has been Antisemitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?”
-- David Ben-Gurion
