Seeing Congress applaud him for his mad rantings really reminds me of the rubber stamp parliaments in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union filled with acolytes who mindlessly clapped the Great Leader.
What the fuck is wrong with the US?
Gives me Star Wars vibes
sigh I miss the greatest generation.
Biden: "I really think we might negotiate peace in Gaza."
One Day Later...
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged in a scathing speech to Congress on Wednesday to achieve “total victory” against Hamas and denounced American opponents of the war in Gaza as “idiots,” ...
Imma exercise my first amendment right:
Fuck you, Bibi. You’re a fucking genocidal fascist. You are only making life harder for Jews all over the world (because lots of people don’t fully understand the difference between Israel and Jewish people), and most of those Jews are pretty fucking pissed at you as a result - not to mention, the vast majority of non-racist people. You’re going to be remembered for your crimes against humanity, and that’s it, you fucking sandwich-filling psycho.
arrest little hitler.
Hitler would have taken gaza long ago... this is more like little putin
Well they basically have taken Gaza. They control it. Now they're just doing the Nazi part of killing all the people.
I guess that’s what Total Victory means
the icc is trying to but the us & the uk are working hard to prevent it; probably more, but these are the only 2 to public acknowledge their efforts to thwart international law to enable a genocide.
Speaking for nearly an hour to frequent applause from U.S. lawmakers, as well as stony silence from many leading Democrats
It's really not a good look to be applauding this corrupt, mass-murdering, genocidal egotist.
Fuck him and fuck Israel.
And fuck everyone who clapped for him.
Bibi, at least Hitler had the balls to kill himself you fucking coward.
For the murder of hundreds of UN workers alone, he should have been arrested. This fucker killed OUR people. On top of thousands of civilians he’s killed. He should have been arrested, but it seems like this guy is the one in charge.
he tries to walk in Zelensky's footsteps but fails on so many fronts: while Ukraine was the victim of oppression, Israel state is the source of it, ICC issued warrant for Putin and.. Netanyahu (it's interesting how US chose to ignore court order).
Hamas and Israel state work towards the same goal - maintain instability for their personal gain. Anybody glorifying Hamas is either stupidd or naive, so are people glorifying Israely army. To be solved this conflict requires new powers to arise on both sides that are ready for dialog and tired of fighting and able to sidestep existing powrr structures (or demolish them).
he isn't failing. people applaud him
that's not what we're hearing from Harris. She'll be dancing on a tight rope, but she clearly signaled that Israel has crossed the line. Lets see what are the consequences.
Hamas whether you like it or not is justified and legal. Hamas wouldn’t exist without the occupation, it is a resistance to it that is protected by international laws. Palestinian society similarly won’t be radicalized to pick up arms and fight if it weren’t for the occupation.
In an ideal world I would only support the PFLP (secular, founded by George Habash) but in an ideal world Israel wouldn’t be able to cut off Gaza’s water, fuel and food either, and the PFLP let alone Hamas would have no reason to exist.
I agree with cause and effect argument. I'm dealing more with present situation as-is. You have (indirectly) confirmed that it's in Hamas' interest to keep conflict alive to exist as an entity. (Note: I did not disregard points on Israel being the oppressor)
This conclusion contradicts reality.
Hamas has called for elections numerous times, elections that have been prevented either by the Palestinian Authority or by Israel. https://apnews.com/article/hamas-middle-east-elections-religion-government-and-politics-e88636bc919f8aab455e01fbbd4b4391
Hamas also accepts a state on 1967 borders, meanwhile Likud always opposed any Palestinian state on any part of historical Palestine. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/01/hamas-new-charter-palestine-israel-1967-borders
Hamas has also offered to drop their weapons if a Palestinian state is established. https://apnews.com/article/hamas-khalil-alhayya-qatar-ceasefire-1967-borders-4912532b11a9cec29464eab234045438
JFC. Why do you never listen to Bernie. He just wants to keep you from blowing your own fucking toes off.
Netanyahu can kiss my ass. I wish I could have gotten a plane ticket just to go protest him.
Something something liebensraum?
*Lebensraum
FUCK HIM. INVADE ISRAEL. TAKE OUR MONEY BACK.
Don't let centrists pretend that they weren't defending him just last week.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
