Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well that's not strictly true. Israelis could pull their finger out of their ass and get rid of Netanyahu, the US could actually step in or any of the nuclear powers in support of Gaza could get involved. They almost certainly won't, but it could happen.

Netanyahu really is a cunt.

“No one will stop us, not The Hague, not the axis of evil and not anyone else,"

Wow, the new years in Israel took back them to 2002.

Someone tell them to don't make the American mistakes post 9/11, oh wait.... :/

If they don't want to recognize international law, maybe we shouldn't recognize them as a sovereign nation.

yeah, he is willing to trade the Future and wellfare of his Country for his deranged dream of a Israeli Empire.

luckily enough the ordinary Israeli isn't that Stupid and every Experts progonoses him to be thrown out of Office.

The point of the ICJ and laws against genocide and ethnic cleansing is to protect minorities, like, say, Jews.

So if they're saying that those post WWII rules are now null and void... then there's nothing to protect them once the US Empire either withdraws or loses interest in providing cover.

US Empire

I also like to call my Friends "Vassals"

[–] FishFace@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago

If the US said they were going to stop providing military support and tech it may well stop it...

They can, they just don't want to. Impose sanctions on Israel's tech industry and restrict material imports and watch their state collapse into nothing in 2 years.

[–] tamiya_tt02@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Gaza won't exist in 2 years even with sanctions.

Yeah, we're like the big dude watching two little girls treating each other apart while we toss them random sharp objects. We're completely fucked and don't care because what's gonna happen to us?

Bellicose BiBi. Forever a barroom bouncer in New Jersey. I really hope he ends up in a jail cell.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hey! What did NJ do wrong to you?!

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Little known fact: Bibi was a bouncer in New Jersey.

I like Taylor Ham.

[–] filister@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Eerily reminiscent of the fascist playbooks.

[–] ad_on_is@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

How can a country not recognize international law, but I have to pay taxes, which in turn are used to support lawbreakers?

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

is that a dare?
