Netanyahu is the Prime Minister, not President. The President is more of a ceremonial role, similar to our Governor General.

The president is also a war criminsl who said there is no innocent Gazans

[–] Tenderizer@aussie.zone 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

A war criminal is someone we're obligated by law to arrest. We are not obligated by law to arrest the president of Israel (only the prime minister).

So Bush was not a war criminal?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone -1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That makes him a horrible person. It doesn't make him a war criminal.

"Why is Hitler a war criminal he didn't pull any of the triggers"

He's literally the head of state of a country doing a genocide.

[–] Ilandar@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

Hitler was put on the United Nations War Crimes Commission's first list of war criminals in December 1944, after determining that Hitler could be held criminally responsible for the acts of the Nazis in occupied countries. By March 1945, at least seven indictments had been filed against him.

Hitler was actually the one ordering it. That's Netanyahu's role in Israel. The President is more like our Governor General, or the King. A largely ceremonial role.

Could you elaborate?

Israel bad. that's literally it.

I can't believe you haven't picked this up seeing some of the most brain dead responses I've got

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Israel bad

Well, yes. That's true.

And Israel's president is, by all accounts, also a terrible person.

But he's a terrible person with limited powers. Not like Israel's Prime Minister, or America's President.

No I'm saying Lemmy users aren't smart, you are, but most Lemmy users are on par with Trump supporters, single minded, one eyed:
