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…

    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.

    Huh, how about a large yellow star of David?

    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.

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

      You know the phrase “Never let a crisis go to waste”?

      They’re taking it to the next level by using the Holocaust as a shield against criticism to fuel their own genocide.

      Despicable humans.

      They learn the important lesson. Be the ones doing it, don’t be the ones it’s happening too.

    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.

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

      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”.

      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.

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

    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 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.

    Man. Fuck Zionists, and anyone who supports Israel at this point. There are a lot of good Jewish people in the world, and Israel is ensuring them another Holocaust

      I find it astounding that when you bring up Jews who oppose Zionism and support Palestine, the Zionists act like you’re talking about Russian online trolls and that its impossible to be a Jew and oppose Zionism.
