#Israel will elect a new government on 27th October 2026.
These days we tend to ascribe the #Holocaust to 'the Nazis', not 'the Germans'; and that's reasonable because not all Germans supported the Nazis -- despite the fact that #Hitler was constitutionally appointed Chancellor in 1933. Similarly, #Netanyahu and #Likud were constitutionally elected in 2022.
Should we blame #Likud, not #Israelis, for the #GazaGenocide ?
If Israel again elects Likud in October, should we then blame Israelis?
Here in the UK, our own #UKLabour government is trying to suppress news of the #GazaGenocide. In #Israel, according to United Nations reports, "at least 248 journalists have now been killed" to suppress this news, more than in all wars from the beginning of history until the 1970s.
Can electors in Israel honestly claim to be unaware of the #Genocide committed in their name? If they can, because of these murders, can their election be seen as 'free and fair'?
GENEVA – UN experts* are outraged by the killing of six more Palestinian journalists — including two women — in multiple Israeli strikes in Gaza over the past 10 days.Mariam Abu Daqqa, a visual journalist who freelanced for the Associated Press was among those killed in two Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza on 25 August, as were Al Jazeera Journalist Mohammed Salama, freelance journalist Moaz Abu Taha, Reuters photojournalist Hussam al-Masri, and Ahmed Abu Aziz who worked for several media outlets including the Middle East Eye.
