Civilized countries should never be standing firmly with genocide, irrespective of who engages in it.
He's worried that if France starts being vocal about it that the other blackmailed and bought politicians might feel inspired.
I dunno, genocide seems pretty barbaric to me.
Good for Macron, but it isn’t happening. The die is cast. Israel won’t stop until Iran’s nuclear program is destroyed, along with Hezbollah and Hamas. The long term plans are likely to occupy the West Bank as well.
If Biden cut off the weapons pipeline right now, Israel would have stocks to continue the war. And Trump might get elected because of it, and he’s actively pro-genocide and fascism.
Israel struck at exactly the right time. The US has no leverage unless and until Harris wins.
So Israel wont stop. Despite the total destruction in Gaza, Hamas still exists.
These goals are only pretense. Israel wants to genocide all Arabs in the extent that used to be the kingdom of David some 3.000 years ago. It just wants to do it in a way that its western puppets are doing most of the dirty work, because 7 million people cannot genocide 200 million by themselves.
Unless Iran can pull a nuke out of a hat this Wednesday.
Oh no, Benny. Anyway.
Hits out? Well at least he didn't SLAM him. \s
Personaly I'd prefer SLAMS over hits out. Doesn't even make any real sense and just sounds so fucking dumb to me.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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.
