OccamsTeapot,

If he’s so upset about being compared to mass murderers he should have not murdered people en masse. It’s actually very easy to not do that

Jimmyeatsausage,

I have, completely by accident and with no significant effort on my part, gone 40 years without mass murdering. It almost just happens on its own.

Blackmist,

Man, you’re lucky. I wasn’t paying attention the other day, and accidentally wiped out a family of 30. It’s just so easily done.

Honytawk,

Shouldn’t have removed the pool ladder

It happens

Baggie,

Lazy

To avoid that label, he could, like… not mass murder the people of Gaza.

ChillPenguin,

The bar is really really low

AshMan85,

He is a mass murderer.

“Palestinians are not people, therefore it’s not murder” - Bibi

Blackmist,

Yes, I wonder why they could have compared you to mass murderers".

In a bitter personal attack, Mr Netanyahu said Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) was one of the “great antisemites in modern times.”

I’ve checked the ICC most wanted list. It’s here: www.icc-cpi.int/defendants

It’s almost all African warlords. Not a big Jewish demographic, if I’m honest. If the leader of Israel can describe the ICC as antisemites, the word literally has no meaning any more.

At this point, if you don’t support the genocide and forceful taking of land in Gaza, you’re antisemitic.

Avatar_of_Self,

I just wanted to say that Palestinians and their Canaanite ancestors are Semites as well. So, if we take the phrase antisemitic literally, then the current Israeli government is also antisemitic.

Neon,

well, no. They wouldn’t be against them because they’re Semitic. So by definition not antisemitic.

Besides, that’s not what antisemitism means. If we take anything by its literal definition, there is no racism, because biologically seen there isn’t enough difference between humans to classify them into different races.

sunbytes,

And I was half expecting there to be one per page with ads in-between…

Drusas,

No, Bibi. He's not comparing Israel to mass murderers. He's comparing you to mass murderers.

It’s like Bernie Sanders said:

“But please, do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal policies of your extremist and racist government. … It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable for your actions.”

Sanders hits back at Netanyahu: ‘It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable’

And by comparing to mass murderers I mean correctly stating that we are mass murderers

Passerby6497,

If it honks like a goose, flaps like a goose and steps like a goose…

Treczoks,

In another article, some Hamas guy was outraged because of being put on the same level as the Israeli murderers.

Passerby6497,

Shit birds of a feather whine about being grouped together.

ButtermilkBiscuit,

The shit winds are blowing.

Hugh_Jeggs,

A goose wouldn’t have stopped at flattening Palestine tho

Cethin,

Yeah, but if the level of a goose is what you need to get to to be considered a war criminal then no one would be a war criminal.

Hugh_Jeggs,

Yanks would be invading anywhere with dandelions 😂

bamboo,

Israel has also stolen parts of Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and historically Egypt. Their extremist ministers, who are currently in political control of the entity, are calling for stealing more of southern Lebanon too. There’s no reason to believe Israel will stop their genocide when the last Palestinian is murdered.

Passerby6497,

The genocide is still young :(

Hugh_Jeggs,

How you can tell it’s actual journalism - it says “lambasts” instead of “slams” 😂

wurzelgummidge,

The average mass murderer is a rank amateur compared to Netanyahu

RamblingPanda,

Bibi, if you did nothing wrong there’s nothing to fear. Just comply, will you?

Save it for the trial, criminal.

HelluvaKick,

I’ve been calling this man a war criminal for almost my entire life and it’s good to see the ICC figuring it out

Maggoty,

More people need to watch the interviews with former IDF soldiers. They openly talk about doing things to Palestinians in West Bank that are war crimes. They also say they do these things routinely. Even the arrest policy is a war crime because they aren’t turned over to the PA, they have to go in front of an Israeli court. If they go in front of a court at all, instead of being indefinitely detained.

@retrospectology@lemmy.world avatar

There’s that documentary with the old timer IDF members laughing about slaughtering people and raping young girls during the Nakba.

When we see these kinds of people act on their inclinations in society, whether it be they chop up their wife or kill a bunch of kids at a daycare, people react with horror. They do it as part of their time in the military and a lot of people just accept it. Same sociopaths doing the same horrible stuff though either way you cut it.

I believe it, but i hate quotes like this. Give me at least a full sentence in quotes.

“I reject with disgust the comparison of the prosecutor in the Hague between democratic Israel and the mass murderers of Hamas,”

skhayfa,

He’s right, he completely smashed their records, he needs his own medals for his massive achievement in murders and massacres.

PauloPelle,

Man cretin on another level

ytg,

Protests were calling for years for Netanyahu to go to The Hague. Is it happening?

Madison420,

No. They would never drag him there but they won’t mind trying him in absentia at some point.

chonglibloodsport,

No. The ICC never tries anyone in absentia. His arrest warrant, if approved, will stand for all time until he either dies or is arrested. There is no statute of limitations for any ICC charges. This means he is effectively barred from visiting any party to the Rome Statute (124 countries).

It also means he could potentially be arrested in Israel and handed over to the ICC if he loses an election and the new government wants to get rid of him.

Madison420,

Haven’t doesn’t mean can’t.

Sam_Bass,

Because they are, son
