Israel to World: "Suck It."

is that different from ordinary racism?

Late Great is otm. Remember, the Swedish ambassador to the UN killed Oluf Palme.

tbf our conservative pols in government in the uk are a bit more circumspect in their being racist and evil. no fomenting racial pogroms, more deporting british residents because they're black

eh?

When you specifically call yourself "a Jewish homeland", then you may as well accept that people might identify you as an ethnostate.

lost me w the scandinavian politics inside baseball

oh that’s a different argument to the riots thing though

unclear how it relates to danon’s argument though?

but jewish isn’t an ethnicity?

i am curious about what is so bad and wrong about danon’s op ed in particular? leaving aside the question of whether israel is literally worse than nazi germany or whatever

fuck me

whatever man here’s your chance to speak truth to power as it were

You have got to be kidding me

jewish isn’t an ethnicity?

there seems to be a lot of confusion around that question, even among jews

don’t forget, i am a literal white supremacist

it’s natural i wouldn’t understand these subtleties

just someone explain it to me already, i swear i’ll restrict myself to just asking faux-naif questions

Saying the Palestinians need to 'surrender' and that they need a 'national suicide of the Palestinians’ current political and cultural ethos' is not something someone says who is willing to actually compromise. It's the words of, well, imperialists. The comparisons he makes are 1) to Germany and Japan after WWII, which are obviously offensive and idiotic, and 2) to Egypt, which is not an example to emulate.

hm. ok, i can’t see how you’d draw those conclusions. why is egypt not an example to emulate?

"A national suicide", that's quite a turn of phrase. But it's coming from a racist, so maybe we're expecting too much.

well y’all were pretty hot on the palestinians committing literal suicide by charging the gaza fence, what changed?

Who is y'all?

like he’s just using their own language anyway

the fence killed the Palestinians?

forget it

no, then it would have been murder by fence, not suicide

come on guys, he’s not calling for literal suicide

Oh man, not wasting any more time on you, you're like the anti-palestinian version of comrade alphabet.

i’m pro palestinian though

don’t waste time thinking through or articulating your positions and statements, to the barricades instead! lol

Is this the first time you've encountered Frederik B?

i think it would be quite good for the palestinians to take some of the steps suggested in the op-ed

but i’ll concede it’s a provocative and possibly ill-advised choice of words on danon’s part

c'mon, late great, "literal suicide" requires that one's death be entirely self-administered

hmmm ... true

Israeli justice system to Netanyahu: "Suck it."

nice

Netanyahu, who has denied any wrongdoing and said he’s a victim of a witch hunt

lol

eat shit fucker

Doesn't a witch hunt by definition mean you are accusing lots of different people, not "wrongfully" targeting a single person? I know Trump brought this usage to popularity but I have to think Netanyahu is smarter than that.

Also a witch hunt by defintion means searching for something that doesn't exist.

Well yeah that obviously. But also the idea is that a witch hunt STARTS OUT with the goal of finding bad guys before you even know that there are any or who you're going to accuse (think McCarthyism). I guess I'm being pedantic, but even falsely accusing a specific person is not necessarily a "witch hunt."

While the world is distracted, Israel tears down a whole Palestinian village, giving people 10 minutes to leave. https://t.co/YO3qMlT5MK

Knesset dissolving AGAIN, new elections in March. Israeli politics is so fucked up right now. Netanyahu is living Trump's dream, using an entire national government as an adjunct to his schemes to avoid prosecution for dime-store corruption.

a psephologists dream mind you

Likud splitting could produce a right-wing coalition govt without Netanyahu. I'd like to see ol Bibi wriggle his way out of THIS jam!

40+ dead in syria, israeli air strike while the world is looking at

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told judges in a Jerusalem court on Monday that he is innocent of corruption charges before abruptly standing, saying “thank you very much” and leaving with his motorcade.
Netanyahu quit the courtroom some 20 minutes after the start of Monday morning’s hearing, which continued on without him
