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.”

      The Lehi terrorist organization was formed shortly before WW2 with the goal of killing the British (who were in control of Mandatory Palestine), Palestinians, and any Jew who advocated for peace.

      Under the leadership of their founder, they repeatedly tried to join WW2 on the side of the Nazis.

      They also adopted Nazi race science whole cloth, except that “God’s chosen people” had to be on top, with Arabs (Palestinians) being relegated to the bottom.

      Their founder was killed by the British in 1942.

      Under their second leader, Lehi were directly involved in several brutal massacres of Palestine people.

      In 1980, the Second leader of Lehi became the Israeli Prime Minister, and directly mentored a young Benjamin Netanyahu.

      I mean they’ve been there for several decades. But it does seem as if they’ve given up on any pretense to the contrary.

      An alliance to stop a genocide seems necessary.

      Never again means never again, for any people.

    Seems like nasty people. I hope they don’t have access to one of the worlds biggest arsenal’s plus complete control over a few million people they consider as untermenschen.
