Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a map of Israel that erases the occupied West Bank, marking it as Israeli territory, in an address to the media yesterday.

The Israeli premier appeared standing in front of a wall-sized digital map that obliterated the West Bank. Palestinians decried the move as an explicit annexation of the occupied territory by Tel Aviv.

Bibi has been 100% clear, he doesn't believe Palestine has a right to exist.

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday rejected the premise of a Palestinian state and promised that Israel will take over the entire region it currently occupies, “from the river to the sea,” according to an English translation on the Israeli news channel i24NEWS.

According to other translations, Netanyahu said that Israel “must have security control over the entire territory west of the Jordan River,” which is basically the same thing."

To be clear, when Palestinians say the same thing, they are accused of being pro-Israeli genocide.

The Global West is terrible at preventing genocides.

Rwanda, Darfur, Rohingya, etc. If it's not in the Global West's interest, it's fuck them victims.

I mean arms dealers need to sell weapons, but better if it doesn't draw them in themselves, so genocides are better than two sided wars. And the primary export of the US is weapons, so...

If not explicitly the goal, definitely at least complicit. We deserve whatever consequences come our way eventually.

And you better believe they're coming.
