Times of Israel published a blog article on May 18th asking that Palestine "be obliterated." The post was later removed, but it remains evidence of a rising encouragement of violence against Palestinians from Israelis and supporters of the zionist entity across the world.
Jeffrey Camras, an American living in Chicago, Illinois, who lived for a time in "Israel" as an adult, wrote that “In order to right a wrong, in order to make peace and move forward, Palestine must be obliterated. It is an affront to society, morality, humanity. It represents lies and antisemitism, oppression, and terror. Nothing more."
Although he acknowledges the millions of Palestinians in refugee camps across the Middle East, he writes in simple terms, “They lost! They don’t get to dictate any terms. What world do we live in that every country throughout history has established its borders and conquered land through war, and we collectively decide we don’t do this anymore with Israel in 1948?”
Camras also blatantly suggests that the Israeli occupation should conquer the remaining "biblical lands in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan."
The extremist articulates that anyone who does not "Accept Hashem's sovereignty," should be expelled and shown no mercy.
Camras, according to comments criticizing the piece, is therefore rejecting the lessons learned by the international community in the aftermath of World War II, when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi leadership wanted to capture sections of Czechoslovakia and Poland under the guise of establishing a Greater Germany.
According to Nazi ethnic nationalist ideology, all areas where ethnic Germans had historically inhabited were linked to the German people by "blood and soil," and hence the Nazi regime had the right to invade these lands.
In an effort to prevent future killing and bloodshed caused by the war — including the Nazi murder of millions of Jews in the Holocaust — the UN charter adopted the principle that annexation and territorial conquest through violence are forbidden and illegal under international law, something that quickly repeated itself when Zionists overtook Palestine to establish "Israel".

After acknowledging that some Palestinian Christians and Muslims are indigenous to the land, Camras claims that they are descendants of Jews who were forced to convert and that they should be converted back to Judaism.
Since the six-day war of 1967, "Israel" has continuously annexed Palestinian land, even though the UN passed resolution 242 which demands it withdraws its military from some territories conquered during the war.
Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza was imposed, and Palestinians were denied fundamental civic and human rights, along with thousands killed by attacks from the Israeli occupation forces and hundreds imprisoned.

Calls by Israeli settlers for the Israeli government to not only confiscate and colonize Palestinian land currently under Israeli military occupation but also formally annex these territories, have grown in the past year, particularly as settler advocates Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir gained power in the Israeli government following Benjamin Netanyahu's recent return as prime minister.
