No surprise there.

After Knesset members actually got up and angrily defended the supposed right to rape Palestinians and the finance minister lamented the fact that the rest of the world would condemn arranging for the death by starvation of 2 million Palestinians, there's pretty much no low left that's too low for the Israeli government.

Hit the bottom and kept on digging. Next stop, upper mantle.

DAE have Cannibalism on their atrocity bingo card?

New ad just came out from the Israeli tourism board:

"Visit Isreal: at least we're not cannibals!"

It bothers me that voters aren't going to find support for Israel to be a disqualifying issue.

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago (33 children)

well, show me who you can vote for, that actually has a reasonable chance of getting in, who isn't supporting Israel.

America currently has the choice of literal fascist takeover, or just milk-toast "liberal" policy.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Just so you're aware, it's milquetoast.

I agree with everything you say.

[–] barooboodoo@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not so sure about that, it often comes on the side with a big milksteak boiled over hard.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Well it depends on how you like your jellybeans with it.

In my opinion, you shouldn't qualify or disqualify a candidate over a single issue. While it sucks that nobody on the ticket supports this particular view, there aren't a lot of other constructive options available.

In my opinion, you shouldn't qualify or disqualify a candidate over a single issue.

I think that's fair for most issues.

On Israel though... I mean... at what point is the horror and our government's support of it enough to support a change?

You again eh.

The guy who wants people to vote for Trump....

Again, I don't think anyone wants the Israel war

But, Trump is so much worse. It's not even a comparison at this time.

Trump is literally raping women. And at this time, that's the least of what he's done

But I suspect you're taking this approach because you know directly telling people to vote for Trump will get you down votes, but if people check your history, it's clear that's what you want...

Not a probe to find the perpetrators, just who tattled. Classic.

Can't wait to meet the Israeli Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

Are you also in a secret prison in Israel? What a coincidence

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

What's really scary to me is that I'm pretty confident the next Al Qaeda is having its origin story right now.

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

This nice to have to keep people who say only "democracy in the middle East" and "not apartheid state" quite...

[–] hexdream@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

So they are taking tips on how to handle leaks from the US government?

[–] HowMany@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 months ago

They will sic prince bonesaw's squad of professional butchers to cleanse the earth of all traces of this crime.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

A perfect demonstration of how deeply ingrained in the middle eastern mentality is the utter disrespect for human life so that these things are fully legitimized over there. And if our repuglicans had their way it would be here too

[–] AreaSIX@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

"ingrained in the middle eastern mentality"? I'd have a look at my own mentality if I was this comfortable generalizing several hundreds of millions of people like that. It seems like you have disdain for both victim and perpetrator irrespective of which in your mind is which, because they're middle eastern. Weird.
