    Remember that the Greater Israel Project is about the chosen ones owning most of the land in the Middle East and genociding the current occupants. Palestine is the most immediate goal of the project, but the Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, Egyptians, etc. are also part of the plan.

    Oh no, he was slammed??! Was he also owned, sent a message, taken to task, and other things that mean someone said something that he ignored and went right back to what he was doing?

    tldr; I’m so tired of these Wrestlemania headlines of completely consequence free replies to people being terrible. Wake us when any bad person experiences anything approaching accountability.

    Israel has a right to go fuck itself right in the ass with a grenade launcher.

      Israel does not have a right to exist.

      This is like saying unions don’t have the right to exist because of police unions. Don’t let the existence of corruption rob an entire group of the right to exist. If Israel didn’t exist, every country would go right back to treating Jews the way they’ve always treated them. Demand the downfall of the ethnonationalists, not the nations being used to justify ethnonationalism.

        Terrible example! Israel is intertwined with the worst most violent and intrusive components of policing. They use Palestine as a laboratory to run experiments about how to oppress people. A key component of a global network of repression and imiseration. It is one of the ways the evil project is insinuated into everybody’s lives, even if you do not consider Arabs to be full humans. Which is a required assumption to be writing comments such as the above.

        Abolish the police and abolish Israel.

        What a fucking joke. The world persecuted Jews is the reason they have to genocide, ethnically cleanse, and colonize Palestine?

        Do Palestinians get to choose a people to do that to? When do we stop with this stupid loop?

        Bull fucking shit. Israel is stolen land, taken during the Nakba after Palestinians were kind enough to welcome Jewish refugees from Europe. It has no fucking right to exist any more than the US or any other conquering nation does.

            Pedantic argument. There’s no specific date to “reset”. You and I are both well aware of who is an oppressor and who the land was stolen from.

            Land back to all Native peoples, fuck the Eurocentric hegemony created by European imperialism.

              Land back to all Native peoples

              The Kingdom of Israel existed there up until 720 BCE. Israelis and Jews lived in that area effectively “always”, just like the Palestinians. Returning “land back to all Native peoples” would mean exactly what we did - establishing a Palestine AND an Israel.

              What’s missing right now is the UN to get off its arse and ensure that they remain separate, without Israel encroaching on Palestinian land.

    “declared that “all Lebanon must burn” shortly after four Israeli soldiers were killed in a fight with Hezbollah.”

    Look, nobody wants their people getting killed, but here’s a wild idea… Get your people the fuck out of Lebanon!

    You can’t invade another country then bitch about your forces being resisted.

      It’s a literal bonfire of the vanities. The bigotry, the smugness, and the violence are all part of a self-mythologizing narrative used to build support for increasingly awful people. Guys like Ben-Gvir are in power precisely because they’re the biggest assholes the country has to offer. They draw in other assholes like a magnet and build a movement based on that collective awfulness, even as their country self-destructs and takes out every neighbor in a 500 mile radius.

      The issue is not that we have deranged human beings. As societies, we can handle these cases.

        Exactly. Every society has this strata of psychos who are constantly angling for power. A healthy society understands this and keeps them under control.

        But now and then, a society weakens, and these people gain power, and it’s always the same. In the 1930’s it was the Nazis, in the 2010s it was MAGA.

        It is important to keep these people crushed at all times, and not feel badly about it. These people do not deserve our empathy, or access to our rights, so they can abuse, manipulate, and violate them. We know where their “free speech” leads us, and we don’t have to tolerate it.

        A healthy society is not polite to political psychopaths.

      “You are a psychopath and one of the greatest threats to the security of Israel and of Jewish people around the world,” journalist Yashar Ali wrote in response to Ben-Gvir.

      Based on the polling I’ve seen, I have zero doubt the majority of Israelis would approve of mass murdering their adversaries in gas chambers, and with zero self-awareness of how their psychopathy is identical to the nazis.
