Republican governors from six states have issued a statement warning residents against unionization

Ah yes, the "get the government out of your life" guys are once again getting directly into your life, from their seat in... the government.

Please no, not like that. Their government spending is only on things that go BOOM!

Israel: bombs a diplomatic target without warning

Iran: bombs 2 military targets with warning

USA: shoots down most of the assets that made it even close to Israel

Biden: Biden reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that “Israel really came out far ahead in this exchange”

I wonder what game they're playing.

What was Israel's rationale for bombing Iran's embassy in Syria and killing 12 Iranians? Revenge for what?

[–] bartolomeo@suppo.fi 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can just support international law, you don't have to choose between Israel and Iran. Embassies are considered soverign soil of the nation they represent and so bombing an embassy is a direct attack on another country. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 they got sanctioned by the international community. There are plenty of other examples in recent history of consequences for aggression. The only question is why is Israel exempt from consequences that apply to other countries? That's what this false dichotomy (Israel vs. Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah etc.) is trying to mask- instead of asking why Israel is exempt from legal consequences it changes the dialogue to "if you don't support Israel then you support terrorism" and thereby nullifies international law since the law is applied selectively.

Inb4 lemmy supports Iran

Lots of false equivalances related to this war but being against Israel bombing an embassy in another country is not the same as supporting Iran. You don't have to choose between Israel and Iran, you have to choose between Israel and international law / human rights.

Phrasing it as "if you don't support Israel then you support Iran (or Hamas, Hezbolla etc.)" is to disregard the importance of international law and the fact that it applies to everyone.

Racism?

On top of that, he is the child of a Holocaust survivor. They say "Never Again" but the guy is literally doing it right now.
