So if this passes it would basically force a national referendum on netanyahu’s leadership.

If gantz is pushing this, probably he thinks he can win. That could mean netanyahu’s many financial and political crimes being looked into again. Maybe.

It could mean more of a focus on getting hostages back, but it might not lead to much change in gaza:

Gantz’ centrism is not equivalent to Western centrism: Natenyahu’s Likud party and other Israeli nationalists have “gone so right-wing that the center in Israel has changed,” a Middle East Institute think tank fellow told Al Jazeera. Previously serving as Commander-in-Chief of the Israeli Defense Forces, Gantz has overseen two military offensives in Gaza and labeled several Palestinian NGOs terrorist organizations, indicating it is “unlikely” he would improve the conditions for Palestinians living in Gaza

Thank you this kind of comment is why I come here.

Yeah but presumably the parent in the M1 has a spouse operating a surveillance drone to provide real time fire child correction?

Bauxite is the obvious one. Bringing bauxite to Australia. How could you forget about bauxite?

‘Going Viral’ wasn’t a term yet and ‘Meme’ didn’t yet mean what it does today, but as someone who was a nerdy teen in the geocities era, this is the first thing I remember that started on the internet and reached a truly mass audience.

Can anyone think of any earlier example of an internet meme going viral?

Biden… lately

I would say that all empires have always prioritized their interests over human life. I don’t think Biden or Lately come into it.

As long as india is part of the quad and helping to contain china, modi can kill as many muslims and sikhs as he wants without US interference. And he knows it.
