Israel desperately trying to start WW3.

[-] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 28 points 3 months ago

Netanyahu is. The Israeli public is highly racist, but much less enthusiastic about total war than Bibi. Unfortunately, they don't get a say. This isn't a democracy.

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 12 points 3 months ago

I guess we'll never know, huh?

If tomorrow Netanyahu get removed from office, there are probably 10 or 12 other genocidal war-mongers who could take his place.

I agree that the Israeli public is far more split on this issue, but the ultra nationalists have a pretty strong hold on power.

The people are damningly complicit with their leaders and killing others.

It is telling the world a very dangerous message.

[-] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 months ago

I wanna push back on that.

Israel has a population of 5.2 million people, and 2 million of them are Arab Muslims.

The representation of Israel that we see in their media and culture is a reflection of Apartheid. It erases the presence and will of literally millions of people who are the target of the brutality that we're talking about.

Tons of Israelis are critical of Netanyahu and don't want this anymore than most Americans wanted trump.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 6 points 3 months ago

Yeah how the fuck is this moving from Gaza, already a fucked up goings on in the world, to more and more of Lebanon? Why are governments of other countries still supporting this? What the actual fuck?

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

Why are governments of other countries still supporting this?

Why not? What are you going to do about it?

[-] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Israel has no sober friends.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

With the back of the west who would hands down win it thanks to the trillions of public money they spend on war. Watch out for the propaganda, iran or russia are not worst than us they are as much as bad.

Lebanese civilians and Lebanese homes are Hezbollah. It worked in Gaza, why wouldn't it work in Lebanon.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 38 points 3 months ago

If you're not careful, you will be Hezbollah too.

[-] match@pawb.social 25 points 3 months ago

Journalists and UN workers? That's right, Hezbollah

You know what would to be really, REALLY uncomfortable?

If Harris loses, there's a strong chance that it might be over this terrible war. What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency.

[-] MinFapper@startrek.website 17 points 3 months ago

What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency and continue the war unchanged.

FTFY

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

What a stupid, stupid reason to have to live through another Trump presidency and continue the war, with even more support than ever.

FTFY

Evangelicals like the genocide, brings their death cult closer to its end.

Except it really doesn't since that world already ended in the mid 1800s, much like the Green Sahara period ending, and The Bronze Age Collapse ended the world 6000 years ago causing them to write that apocalyptic fictive.

How many horse drawn carriages do you see on a daily basis? How many oxen plow your fields? That was the norm until the mid to late 1800s. That world already ended. They just refuse to accept their own books.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

No. It will be so much worse.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

Nah, your boy trump promises to end the war in mere hours (with industrial genocide).

So let's not vote for kkkamala harriss because we care so much about Palestinians.

[-] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

The genocide in Gaza is bipartisan, and the ongoing atrocities are taking place under a democrat administration.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 5 points 3 months ago

If it's bipartisan then you are free to vote based on other issues.

Harris has promised to enforce the laws of the US. If she does do, then The Hayes Act would prohibit any arms shipments to Israel. I'm not saying that is definitely what she intends to do, I am saying that is the most diplomatic she can be in the current political climate of the US, and still win, with the intention of deescalation in Israel while still supporting Ukraine.

Israel wants Trump. They know that Trump will supercharge their campaign and they are counting on Jill Stein to siphon off votes from Harris. That's why they've upped their campaign like this. They are goading Stein to get more press and convince more liberal voters. Because they know that, due to the significant democrat base that unreservedly supports Israel no matter what they do, Harris will never pull her support while campaigning but they are sure that if she wins Biden and she will start playing hardball to get them to stop and they don't want to stop, they want to wipe out all Palestinians. This has been a stated goal of theirs. And Trump and the Republicans will help them do it more than Harris will.

I really hope US citizens start protesting in grand scale because of this. I hope they have it in them.

WWW3 when?

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Late October, Netanyahu will do whatever he can to help Trump win.

Let's not forget that they bailed on ceasefire talks a few weeks ago because former president, and private citizen, Donald Trump violated the Logan Act by calling Netanyahu and telling him not to accept the ceasefire.

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.
