This guy just walked into the capitol of the United States and criticized the American people for exercising their first amendment right. The audacity.

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?

Having its own descent into fascism. You got two choices in the coming election, both of which are supporting eugenics at home of various disabled and minority groups and funding genocide abroad. You get to choose if you bother to help defend your allies or not.

Trump is absolutely worse than Kamala for Palestine by orders of magnitude.

What's happening over there is horrible, but don't for a second, peddled the lie that our two choices are the same right now.

That's tankie talk, and I won't sit by and let it happen.

Whoever wins you will get president Netanyahu.

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.

Hitler would have taken gaza long ago... this is more like little putin

[-] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 22 points 2 months ago

Well they basically have taken Gaza. They control it. Now they're just doing the Nazi part of killing all the people.

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 months ago

I guess that’s what Total Victory means

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 56 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

And fuck everyone who clapped for him.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 48 points 2 months ago

Bibi, at least Hitler had the balls to kill himself you fucking coward.

[-] droopy4096@lemmy.ca 41 points 2 months ago

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).

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

[-] droopy4096@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

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)

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

Netanyahu can kiss my ass. I wish I could have gotten a plane ticket just to go protest him.

Don't let centrists pretend that they weren't defending him just last week.
