That’s literally what they’re saying out loud now:

On being asked by Ahmad Tibi, one of the Arab MPs within the Israeli Knesset last week if it was legitimate “to insert a stick into a person’s rectum”, Hanoch Milwidsky, a member of Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party, responded: “If he is a Nukhba [Hamas militant], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!”

I think they would argue Hamas militants are unlawful combatants (they don’t follow laws of war) and the Geneva convection doesn’t apply.

I find it funny how if you are fighting someone that doesn’t follow the laws of war you can not follow them too but you are not in violation, they are!

Especially with how little damage Hamas has been able to do in comparison to the damage the IDF has caused Palestine for decades. Like, if a child hit an adult, no matter how “unlawful” it was, if the adult drop-kicked them into next week that’d be a huge problem. Now, the only people acting like children are in the Israeli government but you get the idea.

Well, it is the next holocaust, so it makes sense that people are discussing it at length. It’ll probably be one of the biggest topics future history lessons of this era will cover, which is saying something, considering how fucked up this era is.

Think of how much people talk about 9/11, then realize that well over 10 times as many people have been murdered so far in Gaza. OP is doing everything they can to draw awareness to a tragedy - that’s a good thing.

Imagine if people had been more willing to call out the terrible practices of Nazi Germany, instead of just keeping their heads down and trying to convince themselves that it’s someone else’s problem that they have no need to concern themselves over.

You can scroll past these posts, or even block them I’ll bet. Stop complaining that the news of an ongoing genocide is insignificantly inconvenient for you and implying that it’s something everyone else should care about, it’s weird and embarrassing.

If I’m right about Lemmy at all, it’s only a matter of time before you get banned from instances. But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this is just hipster-Reddit and barely anyone cares that what you’re doing here is not what you pretend to be doing here.

I don’t need anyone else to lecture me about how I supposedly shouldn’t ever challenge this motherfucker. You all either actively ignore what they are doing or you agree with their accelerationism.

wtf are you talking about?

I don’t usually meddle in US politics (am from europe), but I endorse kamala over trump, obviously.

I am not saying that the palestinian genocide is bad and therefore we must stop voting for liberals; quite the opposite: We must vote for liberals because if trump wins, things won’t be ten times worse, they’ll be 1000 times worse.

It’s basic fascist logic. Which as the GOP in the US has shown us, you don’t need to be fascist to use. “Our chosen enemy is both cowardly/weak and an existential threat at the same time.”

Eh, they aren’t quite there yet. There are definitely fascists in the party but I think the party as a whole is going to go more authoritarian theocracy. The difference being, if you play their religious game you might just avoid a concentration camp. Whereas in Fascism you are your label and that’s it. A few other big differences but mostly the same for the people on the ground.

This is the biggest hand-wring, semantic gargling I’ve ever seen. What is “authoritarian theology” but making a deity out of the control structure. Nazis used Jesus, too.

They’re facists. The fact they tried over turning the election on J6 with the fake electors proves it completely, they do not point to Jesus, they point to procedure. That’s what a fascist does. Making the Constitution into a religious text is some of the most fascist shit ever, they successfully bind the propaganda structure used to prop up the injustice to an emotional spiritual feeling of righteousness. Its fascism.

If I’m following OPs logic, you can bomb a country for years, invade, take their people hostage, get attacked back, not surrender, don’t negotiate and prioritize PR above the lives of your people.

When the war is over what will they have gained?
