I found this pretty shocking. Apparently Lebanon sent three drones, two of which were intercepted.
And the shocking thing for me isn't that a drone managed to get through, but that a head of state backed by the US came so close to real accountability for perpetrating genocide.
I’m torn. While Netanyahu is a trash human being, there are worse right wingers than even him in the Israeli terrorist regime
Certainly true. I wonder if they'd rule differently if it were demonstrated to them that they're not untouchable, though.
I am not an expert in Israeli politics but they feel victimized because of the holocaust. But it’s at the point where they are no longer the victims but the perpetrators.
They don't, actually. To most of them the Holocaust is a propaganda tool to trick Westerners into doing their bidding; to them it's more about Zionism as an ideology and its role as the ideological bedrock of Israeli society.
Would you say Zionism has kind of turned a lot of regular jewish folk who just want to live and not be a part of an apartheid occupation engaging in genocide, would you say that these weird policies have kind of excluded most of the Jewish people in the world from supporting netanyahu, the terrorist
I’m just having fun with language but there is a genocide going on and I don’t know how else to say it
