lmfao everyone please watch the video in the linked article, it's hilarious. When he pulls out the super tiny paper shredder I laughed out loud. It legit feels like a scene from an Austin Powers movie or something.

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 68 points 1 year ago

hes also saying "you are shredding the un charter with your own hands" as he puts the charter, with his hands, into the tiny paper shredder that he brought with him

hes like a kid throwing a tantrum by punching himself in the head until he gets what he wants

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It is actually much funnier than that - The entire legal existence of Israel is because UN and its charter. What he shredded is the literal legitimacy of his state.

[-] Chump@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

Holy shit you’re not kidding :D It’s even got the high pitched whirring and everything!

[-] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The UN charter he shredded was also very small. Incredible stuff.

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

The "U" in "UN" is a stand-in for the prefix "micro" due to not all localizations having the Greek character for mu

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

Damn you weren’t kidding. Feels like that scene where he has the cart stuck in the hallway and he’s having to do a million point turn

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 33 points 1 year ago

It's legitimately funny

In another world this guy could've had a decent prop comedy career where he does ridiculous shit while maintaining a straight face. But we live in the bad world 😞

Everyone welcome to the stage hasbara-op

waa waa how dare you give human rights to the people I'm murdering

Goes to show that the "two-state solution" is a liberal fantasy that could never actually happen

[-] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago

Most libs know and are just running out the clock with their support for a two state solution. I think it would instantly disappear if Israel didn't hold a military advantage on the ground. While it does, the libs can just talk about a nice two state solution, while Palestinians get obliterated. Hey, I said I support the two state solution, it is not my fault that I am creating conditions on the ground (by giving Israel everything it wants and more) that make it impossible!

"Ugh, why'd I have to sit next to the freak"

[-] grendahlgrendahlgen@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

What country's rep is that with the look of utter contempt?

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mozambique, his name is Martins Kumanga

[-] glans@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Is it the same day? The tie is same as video.

Did he take it off to do his act? In the video he is just wearing a yellow ribbon pin. A weird choice IMHO didn't know ppl still were into that.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

it was six months ago, he just picked the same tie

[-] glans@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Ah I distinctly remember the star of david day in the UN. Thought maybe they had kept up the act. Of course not because they do not really believe it. Such a vile thing to do; so fucking disrespectful. Not to mention being holocaust denialism via minimizing.

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago

This piece is paper is Khamas

[-] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

Khamas personally wrote the UN charter

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 49 points 1 year ago

The tiny shredder is the funniest thing I have seen today, wow. A shame he's devoted to genocide and not standup.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

i don't think i've ever seen israeli stand-up but it seems correct that it would be entirely prop comics

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

They'd probably want to ethnically cleanse Carrot Top, tbh

[-] asg101@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

If they don't respect the U.N. charter and votes, they should just fuck off. Good riddance to perpetual war criminals.

[-] WaterBear@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

Lol, as if we acknowledge international law. The UN is a good source of entertainment, but not a organization that furthers left politics.

[-] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

That’s an oversimplification I think. The UN is one of the tools used to maintain and legitimise the liberal world order. Of course it’s not our tool, in a just (socialist) world order Israel would not exist.

What’s significant is that the fascists in Tel Aviv are telling everyone that they cannot be trusted to exist in the liberal world order either. And that the way to square that circle is to tear down the order.

That is not by itself the material change we want to see, but it is significant. The majority of actual decision makers in the world are libs, and they’re not immune to ideology. And nothing riles up libs quite like shaking the boat. They have their own troubles at home with the unacknowledged recession, climate change, disillusionment with the status quo etc.

This is not by itself the change we want to see, but I’m optimistic it can be the political environment in which that change can occur.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

What a dork lmao. Why didn't he rip it to shreds with his hands?

[-] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You're telling me he actually put it in a shredder? I just assumed from the title he ripped it up, my god..

Edit: yeah I'm on a phone here I couldn't see the lil shredder in his hand on the icon and who can be bothered to click a link these days. These villains can't even be cool like action movie villains or something, total cringe on top of other massive atrocities

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

I think it was to not give the satisfaction by actually ripping apart the UN charter, but it made for some really funny involuntary slapstick.

Steal his look with an $8 AliExpress shredder

[-] glans@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Articles described this as an "emotional reaction" but given what an unusual item this is, you know someone thought of it like weeks/months ago. Had to wait for shipping.

[-] SaniFlush@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

What's the point of voting? The USA will just say no again anyways, and it's not like they can just kick an obvious bad actor.

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

“I need a shredder”

“I have one on my desk for shredding index cards”

“…”
