way to try and shake allegations that you're an apartheid dictatorship that commits war crimes guys

Maybe the Abraham accords were all about turning 'the only democracy in the middle east' into Saudi Arabia.

Israel is standing in solidarity with Palestine and other middle Eastern dictatorships by becoming one themselves.

Their (far-)right government promised security, but delivered one of the largest intelligence failures and tragedies in Israeli history.

The ruling coalition failed to gain a majority of votes in the last election, only getting a majority in the knesset thanks to a rule change which prevented smaller parties from getting seats.

They'll try to double down and use this 'opportunity' to entrench their power. Because if Israel held free and fair elections next month, they're all out of a job.

Turns out that once elected, it's hard to get rid of the far right and right wing populists. They'll happily burn the democracy that helped get them elected.

Tolerating intolerance failed once again, who could've guessed? 🙄

"We stand in solidarity."

You know you're on the (alt-)right side of history when you have to consider arresting people for saying true things about your murderous and oppressive regime.

It's an emergency! Our people are finding out that we're corrupt fascists!

Please let this decade be the decade that fascism dies.

Fucking hell. You wonder if HAMAS is even a thing or if they committed genocide on their own people to just to perpetually stay in “war times” power.

[-] t3rmit3@beehaw.org 9 points 8 months ago

No, no one wonders about that. We can acknowledge that Israel is doing evil stuff without questioning the existence of Hamas.

All this does is give people who want to minimize or excuse Israel's actions an excuse to dismiss its critics.

Learned everything they know from their buddy Pootie up North.
