Did Stalin say that Ukrainians are human animals who need to be exterminated? No, but Yoav Gallant said it about Palestinians. Ben Gvir and other MKs wear noose pins to show their support for execution of detainees, and it looks like the Iasraeli law for the mandatory execution of “terrorists”, which in Israeli rhetoric includes kids who throw rocks at tanks, is going to be passed.

Israeli rhetoric is routinely ethnic supremacist and eliminationist. The entire Zionist project has been one of establishing a Jewish majority state in a Jewish minority country - first they expelled enough Palestinians in the Nakba to establish a comfortable Jewish majority state, and then they continued to expand said state through settlements, all the while expelling enough Palestinians to keep a majority. They continue to expand into the West Bank even as they’ve bombed Gaza to rubble and starved its people.

Your entire argument seems to come down to “well, if they didn’t do it to Palestinians, the Palestinians would do it to the Israelis,” That in itself is genocidal rhetoric.
