Just Bibi casually threatening a second genocide, nothing to see here /s
Biden: "Israel has every right to extend its borders as biblically dictated..."
"Free yourself from Hezbollah so that it's easier for us to roll in and take everything" is what he's actually saying.
They've already started advertising for new homes for Israeli's to purchase in Lebanon.
"Look what you're making me do".
Netanyahu is the closest thing we’ve had to Hitler in quite a while.
Watch out, a French humorist has lost his job for making that comparison
In general I’m not a fan of hitler or nazi comparisons. I understand how someone could take offense at the use of the phrase “grammar nazi” for example.
But the rhetoric and the genocide we have heard from Netanyahu and his cabinet is atrocious, dehumanizing propaganda against not only the Palestinians, but also anyone who believes that all humans should have access to even the most basic human needs.
And as time goes on, Netanyahu is only proving what a sick racist bastard he really is.
He will be remembered for being a shitty human being. And he is seriously hurting the reputation of Israel on the world stage and endangering the lives of actual Israeli citizens and Jewish people all over the world.
What language was the announcement in?
Israel is very consistent in using the language for televised statements in the language of the intended audience.
When Israel states something in English, the intended audience is generally the US, not whom they are addressing.
It's the exact same playbook as in Palestine.
No doubt there will soon be Israeli "settlers" in Lebanese territory surrounded by enormous areas stolen from the locals "for security".
Then they'll do Syria, then Egypt with the Muslim brotherhood, then they'll attack Iraq, then they'll attack Saudi Arabia, and it'll continue on and on like this.
I'm curious who America will bend over backwards for in a war between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The highest bidder.
They always claim Hezbollah is terrorist, but surely the IDF have a larger civilian kill count and a larger percentage of civilians killed.
Israel feeling pretty confident there is zero consequences to their actions now.
Small Hitler can't get enough.
Netanyahu: "Here I go, killing again!" If I was the US president would simply give Netanyahu the Osama Bin Laden treatment. Have some special ops dump his body in the ocean, send a message to the next Israeli PM there are consequences.
why is this man in government and not standing trial in front of the international criminal court
Points gun at someone's head."Don't make me kill you! If I do it'll be your own fault!"
Terrorism is when ones tries to achieve political objectives by putting pressure on a population through attacks on non-military targets.
What Israel is saying here is like Bin Laden hitting the Twin Towers to "pressure their political opponents".
Israeli terroristic threats levied to innocent civilians. Must be a wednesday.
This motherfucker's threats sound like they came from fictional villains with bad writers, and yet, American politicians can hear him say this and still believe it's totally normal and good to continue funding Israel's unhinged war crimes and genocide.
I can't support this. It's like America's little putin.
Wonder when he will attack Poland
A yes, the classic "start a war with the people we don't like or we will start the war for you". Truly sympathetic shit.
That's a tad bit difficult since Hezbollah military rivals that of the Lebanese government. This is pretty much an impossible request and him saying that he's going to cause Lebanon "destruction and suffering"
"Overthrow your government for us. C'mon. Do it or I'll punch you harder!"
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
