Translation from Hebrew (by google):
It hurts me so much to admit this as an Israeli, a Jew, and a Zionist - but recent times have made me understand more and more how the Holocaust happened.
There is racism in the State of Israel, and a lot of it. It has been radicalized in recent times, both in light of brutal Muslim terrorism and in light of a racist and fascist government and a media that normalizes it.
But there is racism and there is racism, and there is one part of society - call them the Messianics, the extremist settlers, the hill boys - who are not fundamentally different from the Nazis. They are joined by a small part of the racists who do not necessarily belong to this group, but who are violent, cruel, and find their place among the Messianics.
The State of Israel does not have a directive to murder Arabs, but there are elements in the government who, at the very least, wink at indiscriminate murder, violent expulsion, and extermination. The truth is, it's not just a wink - it's in the budgets and infrastructure for "farms" in Judea and Samaria, it's in the threat to law enforcement agencies who dare to investigate war criminals, it's in a member of Knesset who visits the prison of a terrorist who murdered a baby and calls him a righteous man. It's in the head of her party who admires a mass murderer and it's in two entire parties in the coalition that represent this moral abomination, along with not a small part of the ruling party.
So even without an official policy and order - it's clear today that there are large parts of the government that support atrocities. And when the murderers, pogromists and rapists go unpunished and even receive public support from elected officials - this is indeed a de facto policy.
And most of the people are silent. The news hardly talks about it. If it does, the report is distorted. "Two Palestinians killed in clashes with settlers." "Confrontation" two meters outside the house of Palestinians who went out into their yard and got shot in the head by damned Judeo-Nazis.
And if you talk about it with "liberal" friends, they don't believe it, or they continue with this lie of weeds, or that "you don't know what really happened there."
And when would they pay attention? There was a real war in Gaza, so it's easy for people to tell themselves that there were no war crimes, and that everything was in the framework of the fighting. In fact, there were crimes committed by a minority of soldiers, but the perpetrators, including murderers - were not punished. And in Judea and Samaria - what's the excuse? Settlers come to villages and shoot people in the head, and no one cares. And if there were 100 murderers a week - would anyone care? 1,000? 10,000? Would the majority ever put an end to it? I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
It simply doesn't interest the majority of the public here, and it makes me think that there is no scope of atrocities that would interest the majority.
The average Nazi was a person who ignored atrocities, not who committed them. The execution was the preserve of a few. And we are not there, but we are on a steep and dangerous slope.
In the end, a child who takes a bullet to the head in Gaza or an old man whose legs are broken by violent settlers in the southern Hebron Hills doesn't care that it is on a much smaller scale than the Holocaust, and we shouldn't care either. We should oppose such behavior with all our might and denounce the Judeo-Nazis within us, and we simply don't do that.
And a final comment in conclusion, about the contempt for the Holocaust - "comparisons are forbidden," the Magazletists will cry out, and the truth is the opposite. Comparisons are necessary, the lessons of the past are necessary, and processes must be identified at stages when disasters can still be prevented.
Nothing devalues the memory of the Holocaust more than indifference to the murder of innocents. Nothing humiliates the victims of the Holocaust more than their descendants who are not interested in their own people murdering others on the basis of racial ideology.
The State of Israel must be reformed, and reform must begin with acknowledging reality.
Reality, unfortunately, is harsh.
