Seriously. And the approval rate of netanyahu is like 90 percent there. Like shit man, what the fuck do you even do? None of this ends without world powers openly declaring cold war style measures at the very least. Trade embargo’s are great if its cuba, but heaven forbid you stop giving literal aid to a country doing a genocide. What the fuck.
Edit: I was wrong. No idea where I got that number from.
The current faction hasn’t had the votes in years…
That’s why Bibi keeps canceling elections, if there’s an election then his party loses, hes a normal citizen again, and his corruption case (that he’s clearly guilty) finally goes to trial…
You’re right to be upset, but I have no fucking clue where you’re getting your information from.
Can you source that 90% approval rating you’re spreading?
Edit:
To be clear, there’s a 99.9999% Bibi cancels the 2026 elections like he has every year since he cancelled the 2022 elections.
with the polled opinion of israelis support for action in gaza.
There’s still lots of confusion with those polls, because there’s an absolute insane amount of propaganda.
And for whatever reason, people still do t seem to even understand what propaganda means.
It’s not just something you’d read and think Israel is better, just like Bibi wants to conflate Judaism with Israel, he wants everyone outside Israel to think it’s a united front.
Bibi is 100% ok with me and you thinking he’s a genocidal maniac…
As long as we think every Israeli is too. Because then we stop talking about getting him out of power and in jail, and uninformed people start talking about treating all of Israel like theyre the problem and suddenly the united front has been “means tested” into fighting each other.
Fucking ignorance is bliss man, all this shit is as easily noticable to me as how a kid shouldn’t touch a hot stove
I had good luck in this thread yesterday so I’m optimistic that made sense. If not tho, I can try to answer from follow ups.
This is bigger than Israel, it’s one of the most common form of propaganda: divide your enemies.
Yeah after like some light googling I realize I was entirely wrong. It must have been on some specific issue that I was against and absolutely fucked up in my big dumb head. But you’re right. Thank you, some faith restored in my worldview now.
First, murica needs to stop giving them carte blanche, see if they smell the coffee…if they don’t…let them fight their wars alone and see if being hated and feared is enough to stay safe…
israel only serves at the leisure of the usa in the ME, vice versa, and then use politicians serves at thier behest in order to countinue the expansionism of israel in the ME.
I don’t condone mass murder nor genocide nor any other weapon of mass destruction, even if the target is a vile government.
Just like here in the US, there are many, many people who are in utter disgust with how the things are going yet have ZERO control or ability to change the government other than vote and speak up. I’m sure there are still some people there who fight back. My ex, a photojournalist living in East Jerusalem spent the last 25+ years doing exactly that - granted she’s Jordanian married to a Palestinian, but she lives inside Israel. Should she be targeted by a bomb?
I’ve lived through a war. People you place value on die regardless.
Convenient that you would drop a bomb 65ish times more powerful than the Hiroshima nuclear bomb on them.
If it would stop it? Sure.
Again, Israel has dropped around 8 “Hiroshima nuclear bombs” on Gaza alone. At some point you have to kick the dog biting you. The trolley problem is not a solved problem - this is why.
Or let’s wring our hands and worry about your ex who has “fought” in Israel to the effect of… watching it turn into a fascist nightmare state.
No one’s doing anything about it because you can’t have a conversation without people shutting down if you’re not 100% aligned with their point of view.
I do think I get what you’re insinuating. People equivocate their language when speaking about the State of Israel because disingenuous players will say, “THAT’S ANTISEMITIC” because they’re trying to trip you up and make you sound like you’re talking about Jewish people and not Israel.
At this point, however, I think that Israeli citizens who are turning a blind eye to the issues are just as guilty as Germans who did the same. Moreover, I would extend this indictment to fellow American Citizens who aren’t doing anything.
Yes, but it’s both side. You get called antisematic for saying anything against Israeli policies in some places, but I find on Lemmy you get called hasbara and banned for saying anything even remotely critical of Palestinian actions. There can be no discourse to find any kind of reasonable path forward this way. So everyone moves further to their extremist sides thinking the other side is inhuman because they won’t listen. And we end up in a situation where both sides see the only solution as the complete destruction of the other.
How many condemnations are we at now? I lost count.
None of this matters. Nobody is doing a thing and you can’t bring back the dead. Fuck Israel.
Fuck Israel
Fuck Israel

We give them a pass because they bribe our politicians via campaign contributions through AIPAC.
Yeah, it certainly is a uniparty in that respect…

Yep, as long as the bombs and money keep flowing to them they do not care
The only condemnation that will be effective will have a megaton rating

I don’t think you know what the word “targeted” means
I don’t think you get what a megaton bomb is.
I do.
It would level a few city blocks, hurt people for around 12km.
Much better then to let a country perform a ‘slow nuke’, right?
Israel dropped 25 megatons of explosives on Palestine in the first month of the war. It dropped 36 megatons on Tehran in the first week of this war.
While we hum and haw about your ex and other people that you place value on, more of the people you don’t place value on die and suffer endlessly.
And no one you place value on will die.
Convenient that you would drop a bomb 65ish times more powerful than the Hiroshima nuclear bomb on them.
