Israel desperately trying to start WW3.

[-] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 28 points 1 month ago

Netanyahu is. The Israeli public is highly racist, but much less enthusiastic about total war than Bibi. Unfortunately, they don't get a say. This isn't a democracy.

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 12 points 1 month ago

I guess we'll never know, huh?

If tomorrow Netanyahu get removed from office, there are probably 10 or 12 other genocidal war-mongers who could take his place.

I agree that the Israeli public is far more split on this issue, but the ultra nationalists have a pretty strong hold on power.

The people are damningly complicit with their leaders and killing others.

It is telling the world a very dangerous message.

[-] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 month ago

I wanna push back on that.

Israel has a population of 5.2 million people, and 2 million of them are Arab Muslims.

The representation of Israel that we see in their media and culture is a reflection of Apartheid. It erases the presence and will of literally millions of people who are the target of the brutality that we're talking about.

Tons of Israelis are critical of Netanyahu and don't want this anymore than most Americans wanted trump.

Yeah how the fuck is this moving from Gaza, already a fucked up goings on in the world, to more and more of Lebanon? Why are governments of other countries still supporting this? What the actual fuck?

[-] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Israel has no sober friends.

Why are governments of other countries still supporting this?

Why not? What are you going to do about it?

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

With the back of the west who would hands down win it thanks to the trillions of public money they spend on war. Watch out for the propaganda, iran or russia are not worst than us they are as much as bad.

Lebanese civilians and Lebanese homes are Hezbollah. It worked in Gaza, why wouldn't it work in Lebanon.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

If you're not careful, you will be Hezbollah too.

[-] match@pawb.social 25 points 1 month ago

Journalists and UN workers? That's right, Hezbollah

You know what would to be really, REALLY uncomfortable?

If Harris loses, there's a strong chance that it might be over this terrible war. What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency.

[-] MinFapper@startrek.website 17 points 1 month ago

What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency and continue the war unchanged.

FTFY

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency and continue the war, with even more support than ever.

FTFY

Evangelicals like the genocide, brings their death cult closer to its end.

Except it really doesn't since that world already ended in the mid 1800s, much like the Green Sahara period ending, and The Bronze Age Collapse ended the world 6000 years ago causing them to write that apocalyptic fictive.

How many horse drawn carriages do you see on a daily basis? How many oxen plow your fields? That was the norm until the mid to late 1800s. That world already ended. They just refuse to accept their own books.

No. It will be so much worse.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Nah, your boy trump promises to end the war in mere hours (with industrial genocide).

So let's not vote for kkkamala harriss because we care so much about Palestinians.

[-] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

The genocide in Gaza is bipartisan, and the ongoing atrocities are taking place under a democrat administration.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

If it's bipartisan then you are free to vote based on other issues.

Israel wants Trump. They know that Trump will supercharge their campaign and they are counting on Jill Stein to siphon off votes from Harris. That's why they've upped their campaign like this. They are goading Stein to get more press and convince more liberal voters. Because they know that, due to the significant democrat base that unreservedly supports Israel no matter what they do, Harris will never pull her support while campaigning but they are sure that if she wins Biden and she will start playing hardball to get them to stop and they don't want to stop, they want to wipe out all Palestinians. This has been a stated goal of theirs. And Trump and the Republicans will help them do it more than Harris will.

I really hope US citizens start protesting in grand scale because of this. I hope they have it in them.

Late October, Netanyahu will do whatever he can to help Trump win.

Let's not forget that they bailed on ceasefire talks a few weeks ago because former president, and private citizen, Donald Trump violated the Logan Act by calling Netanyahu and telling him not to accept the ceasefire.

As soon as they produces enough weapons and brainwash enough people for it
