fuck that's what im talking about let's go

Took her far too long to notice.

She also called Palestinian protestors Chinese agents so this is probably because Bibi isn't doing a good job doing PR and blindly listening to Biden and not because he's actively involved in a genocide.

I agree but also she should resign due to her being old as shit.

And insider trading

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

First off, I agree.

Secondly: lol never happening

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

That would probably be for the best.

Didn't they have like 7 elections in a row over the course of 5 months and Bibi finally won as was like "this closest election ever in the history of Israel gives me the mandate to rule over it like a total dictator, time to gut the judges, throw the ultra-orthodox into the military, appoint my friend Lieberman head of a secret anti-protest milita and genocide gaza!"

The Israeli left had been weak since the Yom Kippur War.

Shit he even lost a few of them but no one could form a government. I hear on the news that some people were just voted Likud just to end the forever stalemate.

The man who would replace Netanyahu, Benny Gantz, considered to be a left-wing Israeli politician, will do the same things that Bibi has been doing... ya know, considering it is a unity government and all. The leftists who think they'll get their way in allowing Hamas to survive by getting rid of Netanyahu really are ignorant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

This comment took a hard left turn

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Wait why should Hamas be allowed to survive? They are not the good guys, they are not Palestine, they are wealthy men living abroad. I was hoping this would be a great chance to end both leaderships, not pretend like Hamas are victims

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Right, but Netanyahu needs to go, regardless.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Those aren't leftists. It's mostly liberals who tell themselves that israel as a ethno nationalist state is perfectly fine but that a prime Minister boastfully taking Israel to it's natural conclusion of ethnic cleansing and genocide is too much. They want it to be done more quietly.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago

As soon as he's out of power he's most likely going to prison for corruption, so I don't think he'll be taking her advice.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Really? I thought people accusing Israel of genocide were russian trolls and chinese spies?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 months ago

According to Lemmy they are!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Good to see from Nancy Pelosi.
