"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.

Yeah, this never occurred to our leaders here in the US during the War on Terror either, and they warmongering in seven countries at once. It can get a whole lot worse, but I hope that doesn't happen.

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.

But he was blasted, I tell you! Roasted, totally torn apart!

That's what Netanyahu and all the major opposition of him also want

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.

Right now they are all hyped up about nooses and lynching. But this is after having engaged in one of the most concentrated military campaigns in human history against a largely civilian population.

Israel does not have a right to exist.

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

I hate that human beings like this exist.

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.

Imagine a colony of narcissts with a victim complex who are granted complete immunity for their actions and you end up with Israel.

Damn, I'd love to smack that stupid smile from his face.

Off with his head already

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 months ago (2 children)

He was slammed.

16 feet, announcers table, something something.

Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that Ben Gvir will ever experience hell in a cell.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

i'm sure there are a lot of people who would like to be that particular change in the world.

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.

More proof that there will be a peace treaty any day now!

Why is „psychopath” put in quotes?

[–] CarstenBoll@feddit.dk 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's put in quotes because it's a quote. Hope that helps.
