*must not post Limmy sketch*

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
something else. typical.

BREAKING: Israeli minister of education Yoav Galant issues order to ban Israeli human rights groups from entering public schools

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

sounds innocent to me!

By invading the third holiest site in Islam on Ramadan, and doing open ethnic cleansing of #SheikhJarrah, my concern is Israel is trying to provoke a response it can use to justify a massive “security” campaign, which is what it has always manufactured to further colonization.

If you've never been to Gaza it's hard to grasp just how bleak it is. A whole generation now has grown up locked in a tiny enclave. They're coming of age in a place with no work, endless blackouts, barely any clean drinking water, and little prospect of getting out.

Hard to capture how deeply horrifying this video is. Thousands of Israeli Jews singing about revenge, chanting "Yimach shemam (may their names be erased)," dancing as a fire burns on the Temple Mount.

This is genocidal animus towards Palestinians — emboldened and unfiltered. https://t.co/ftmdMw8BUR

"clashes"

either barely anyone in this part of the world cares unless they have a personal connection, or they're too intimidated by the prospect of backlash to say anything meaningful, or the media coverage is just so bad that people really don't get how bad this is. all of those things probably to varying degrees. really bleak

is it still antisemitic to say the g word

it is *shocking* how this is ignored, explained away, and even supported by the lib establishment

I wonder how much Bibi’s tenuous political position is also feeding Israel’s response. Always good to have a war to rally round the leader.

yeah a coalition of non-Bibi parties was supposed to join to take power this week, and rely on support from a small conservative arab party. co-operation between arabs and extreme zionists is unlikely now for obvious reasons

that interview with the ambassador is great

The British state wants to ban its citizens from peacefully boycotting the racist power that just killed multiple children in Gaza. Why? To protect "business" and Britain's "strategic interests". https://t.co/El5WKk6Uuw

I would call this astonishing, but I'm not surprised or shocked just kind of in awe

The scene in Lod is crazy

The mayor of the Israeli city of Lod, a mixed Arab/Jewish city southeast of Tel Aviv, just said on live TV “We have completely lost control of the city, and the streets are witnessing a civil war between Arabs and Jews."

A few of the attacks tonight: A Jewish mob lynched an Arab man in Bat Yam (he's in critical condition); a Jewish mob assaulted a Jew they mistook for an Arab in Naharia; Jewish & Arab mobs carried out stabbing attacks in Lydd; Jewish mob attacked an Arab in Or Akiva.

qft though i wonder if opinions have shifted over the last 5-10 years.

it is not being ignored

My amazing team have responded to 2,000+ constituents today alone about the forced evictions of Palestinians.

It’s the issue I‘ve been most contacted about since being elected.

Poplar & Limehouse is clear: our govt should be holding the Israeli govt to account on their actions.

That Biden statement is an abomination, but the stranglehold AIPAC has on US politics has been evident for decades.

yeah I wouldn't have expected anything better

There's an actual chance that the actual call was a bit more forceful than the press release - but that doesn't mean Bibi listened

this is how I don’t show up for Democrats in 2024

Nice passive voice there, NY Times

I guess they just got caught up in these 'clashes'!
