‘For Us There is One Objective: to Destroy Gaza’: Fmr Israeli Ambassador Rejects Calls for Diplomacy
Chris Menahan
Dror Eydar, the former Israeli ambassador to Italy from 2019 to 2022, told Italian TV on Wednesday that “we in Israel” are not interested in “rational Palestinian talks” and only have “one objective: to destroy Gaza.”
“We in Israel, at least the population, are not interested in the rational discussion … for us there is only one objective: to destroy Gaza, to destroy this absolute evil,” Eydar said.
He went on to cite the Holocaust as justification for Israel’s war of destruction.
“There is no chance that after the Holocaust Jewish people will live a similar experience as they were 80 years ago,” he said.
“After Oct 7, every person in the world who threatens a Jew, every person in the world who threatens a Jew, or kills a Jew has to die,” Eydar said.

What does it say about Israel that their own ambassadors talk this way?
Were Eydar’s comments another reference to “destroying Amalek” as we heard from Prime Minister Netanyahu?
Netanyahu declaring invasion: “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible”

Threatening to kill everyone worldwide who “threatens a Jew” sure sounds like it.
