Netanyahu warns people in Lebanon could face destruction 'like Gaza'

I actually thought this was something he really said for a second.

Biblically or bibi-vocally?

The ad was made by an Israeli settler organization, but that doesn't make it fake. The Israeli government pretends to have nothing to do with these things then defends them; that's how their settlements have always work. In the case of an occupation, I don't see any difference between South Lebanon and the West Bank, in which case this ad is very much real.

If by “they” you mean Israel, no they aren’t.

If they meant "far right citizens of Israel that agree with their government's genocide" then, yeah, they are.

Saying that group has nothing to do with Bibi seems an awful lot like saying trump had nothing to do with 1/6.

Can you help me understand how its different?

Yeah, I'm not buying that for a second. Just because there's no clear link between these settler groups and the Israeli government doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This is what Israel does. Displaces a population through force and violence and then settles the land for their own people.

Are the Israeli settlers in the West Bank also just a "small, extremist organization" in your mind?

In general I’m not a fan of hitler or nazi comparisons. I understand how someone could take offense at the use of the phrase “grammar nazi” for example.

But the rhetoric and the genocide we have heard from Netanyahu and his cabinet is atrocious, dehumanizing propaganda against not only the Palestinians, but also anyone who believes that all humans should have access to even the most basic human needs.

And as time goes on, Netanyahu is only proving what a sick racist bastard he really is.

He will be remembered for being a shitty human being. And he is seriously hurting the reputation of Israel on the world stage and endangering the lives of actual Israeli citizens and Jewish people all over the world.

I think the same. Not sure what to do about it though. If our choices in this "democracy" are a criminal who wants to murder us all and end our democracy (Trump) or a political party that openly supports genocide (Harris), then its time for our system to find some third solution than voting for one of these two. Its hard to figure out how to do that though. We're all absolutely being played, both dem and republican-- and they arent even doing a compelling job lying to us. Its an extra insult-cherry on top.

A rabidly racist society whose leaders keep telling the West that they have "Western Values".

Yeah, 19th Century White Colonialist Values, same kind that the Belgians in Congo and the Afrikaneers in South Africa had.

Likud doesn't maintain a separate army under their own flag.

Mossad couldn't stop october 7th, they can't do shit.

Sure seems like plain old terrorism to me.

So does giving a rival head of state "the Osama Bin Laden treatment".

Pro-Trump? Are you an idiot? Again, Trump loves money, not Netanyahu. Netanyahu is a free loopback for public to private money interests for a lot of politicians, but when you increasingly control that money at its source, it becomes less significant. Trump is going for a dictatorship in the US this time around, so Trump needs Putin, an Iran ally and leader at this sort of subterfuge, more than he needs Netanyahu.

With morons all around, from his supporters to the sort that calls observations like that "Pro-Trump", he's closer than ever to his goal. If you insist enough on it, I'm sure you will get a lot of pro-Netanyahu people, the sort already pushing troll factories onto social networks, to vote and promote Trump since they care more about Israel than the US. I'm just reminding them they are going to get screwed either way, if anything more so with Trump.
