Disgusting.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 56 points 2 months ago

Can someone explain to me how this is going to help get the hostages back? I was told this was about hostages.

[-] DarkDarkHouse 35 points 2 months ago

No, this war is about Total Victory, whatever that is.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 29 points 2 months ago

Like some kind of Final Solution.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Probably something like Total War.

Total Victory against Me being Deposed and Thrown In Jail for my War Crimes

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 20 points 2 months ago

Netanyahu and his cronies don't care about the hostages. They care about retaining their power. He knows he's done for once this war ends. He's hated both by the world and his own citizens.

Threatening violence against civilians in the pursuit of political aims, huh? If only we had a word for that.

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

like we see in Gaza.

Putrid bastard can't even own his own genocide. It's what You're, or We're meaning Israel, is doing to Gaza.

The worst kind of coward, a bloodthirsty one.

Maybe he should focus on maintaining peace if he doesn't want his own country to turn into bloody ashes

[-] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 2 months ago

I don’t think he wants peace at all. I think if there’s peace, he will lose his position as PM and lose its power with it.

He would be fine with a full out war because he knows US will help him.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

He was about to lose power before 10/7...

And has been refusing to allow elections because of the genocides he won't stop committing ever since.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

He will also go to jail for corruption if he loses his position.

[-] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

And who's going to do that as long as the US extends endless military and financial support? Bibi slaughtered tens of thousands of children with nothing more than a furrowed brow at the State Department. We send Israel so many bombs that it exceeds our military transport capacity and we're chartering private carriers for part of the load. At every turn, the US has confirmed to Israel that it can act with impunity and retain our guarantee of support.

I just can't see why anyone would hate him/Isreal. They cleared so much space for schools and hospitals by destroying old, run down schools and hospitals. I mean such hazardous work being done for free! Such a generous man, and all that military protection. How can you not love this regime!?!

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 months ago

It's just plain old antisemitism. No need to dig any deeper than that.

Hey, I said no digging!

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

He continues to be so out of it.

Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
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.
