Tamimi: 'We will drink your blood; what Hitler did to you was a joke' - eviltoast

Her Instagram post, translated in the link:

“Come on settlers, we will slaughter you. We are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank. What Hitler did to you was a picnic. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls”

She has since been arrested:

    Do you have a limit at where the bloodlust stops being understandable? I, for one, have never felt remotely angry enough to think drinking blood looks good. Shooting people in the head, sure, but eating people? Hell no.

      In an endless exchange of atrocities like this, sadly there seems to be no limit for bloodlust and hate because both sides are caught in a self amplifying loop of revenge. Please be aware that understanding something does not equal rating it in any way.

      I, for one, have never felt remotely angry enough to think drinking blood looks good. Shooting people in the head, sure, but eating people? Hell no.

      That´s probably a crude overstatement used as a rhetorical element in her propaganda statement and not meant literally, right? Pretty easy to understand imo.

        In the context of a war where atrocities are being committed every day and the video is available to watch I don’t think that somebody saying ‘I want to join in’ can be dismissed as rhetoric. When someone tells you who they are you should beleive them.
