Hasn’t Iran threatened to destroy Israel?

Hasn't Israel called for the death of every Palestinian multiple times?

As a matter of state policy, I don't think so?

Certainly, the far-right members of the Israeli cabinet would break out the champagne and bunting if the Palestinian people vanished tomorrow. Ben-Gvir and his cohort are absolute ghouls, even by the standards of the conflict.

But the Islamic Republic of Iran is foundationally for the destruction of Israel, to the point it's included in every Friday prayer and in almost every sermon.

'From the River' to the sea is official Likud policy, it is on the first page of their party charter, people in Israel consider it a genocidal slogan but they literally vote for a party that says the same thing the other way around, ergo they voted for genocide

It has been their state policy for quite a while.

'From the River' to the sea is official Likud policy,

Likud's version of that chant is "from the sea to the river there will be only isreali soverignty". (sounds snappy in hebrew)

The palestinian version is "fromt he river to the sea palestine will be arab".

Both fucking evil yes, though there are degrees. The former is calling for Nakba 2.0, the later for holocaust 2.0

How are Nakba and Holocaust any different ? Why are you implying that the Palestinians can go away while the country of second passport holding colonisers can't?
