Ultranationalist Israeli politicians, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, wore golden noose-shaped lapel pins to a meeting on Monday in order to show their “commitment” to advancing a widely condemned bill to mandate the death penalty for “terrorists” who kill Israelis. The pins resemble the yellow ribbon pins that Israeli leaders have worn throughout their genocide to to…

    Israelis definitely studied hard at the genocide thing. Too bad they didn’t learn the ACTUAL LESSON.

    For every billion dollars the US gives to this genocidal state, that’s 1,000 Americans that could’ve been made millionaires.

      The more you spread it out, the higher the average gain in utility. 1,000,000 Americans with that $1k they desperately need right now.

    I wonder how the Zionists will try to spin this.

    “Well, actually they’re pins to commemorate Jews who were hanged during the Holocaust!”

    Meanwhile Holocaust survivors make the bulk of elderly homeless people in Israel.

    It’s like they’re trying to see just how far they can push their obvious evil and still have their bought politicians dance for them.

    Recently it was in the news that Israel considers Gaza still strongly under the control of Hamas.

    Which parts exactly?

    Every inch that isn’t occupied by Israel.

    Israel has made it abbundantly clear that they will not stop until Palestine ceases to exist.

    I wonder what Israel’s long-term plan is. Because if they achieve their objective and wipe out Gaza then they’re going to be international pariahs for pretty much the rest of history.

    Regardless of what governments made decide there is going to be extreme social pressure for businesses to not work with them, and the thing is they represent such a small market it isn’t worth the inevitable boycott doing business with them would result in. The Israeli government have to know this, civilians living in Israel must know this, yet here we are.

      They’re banking on making people believe the Palestinians don’t deserve to live, and that enough people simply won’t give half a shit about a bunch of brown people dying. Coupled with plenty in the west hating muslims because of american wars of aggression and propaganda, I think they’ll succeed. Even if in say 3 months, the whole palestinian area is simply wiped out, bulldosed into a giant gravel parking lot, not enough people will give a shit, because they just don’t give a shit about other people.

      The British and Americans have also committed a bunch of war crimes and exterminations of people and are not pariahs. My expectation is, sadly, that nothing will meaningfully happen if they were to “achieve their objective”.

        Rhodesia didn’t make it though, so there’s some precedent for real-world hope too, even though I largely agree with you.

      Not really. They have a pretty good stranglehold on dictating what others get to think.

      They’re probably counting on people eventually forgetting what they did. People can forget quickly.

        Inkjet printers can be traced if the feds really wanted to (probably very unlikely just for stickers though).

    the term fascist originated from the Italian word “fascio”, which can mean “to bundle”.

    ironic that they would choose a rope to display their support for a fascist ideology.
