And how was it that Hillary and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz ensured this was the voting outcome?
Part of the recipe for far right fascists to rise to power requires liberals’ “compromise.”
AIPAC buying American politicians to ensure support for the war continues. Pretty fucked that a foreign nation state can buy US policies like this. Honestly, I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often, and more brazenly - it is “legal” after all.
This makes sense, because this isn’t an Israeli or Jewish endeavor. It’s Benjamin Netanyahu desperately provoking a war to maintain his grip on power, because as soon as he’s out of power he will have to be held accountable for his many crimes. Bibi would rather die in office than face that. It’s truly regrettable that his actions have soured the entire world’s opinion on Israel, but here we are.
Reminds me of this classic gem:
He did remove their supreme court’s ability to try him for his crimes, his party is the majority in Israeli parliament, he’s disbanded the war cabinet, and they’re actively trying to push back the next election date. So yeah, pretty much a dictator.
Netanyahu would lose a massive amount of power if President Biden would stop sending him so much money and weapons. Even the threat of doing so would have a huge impact. So arguably, a puppet dictator is more accurate. Although the way they interact would lead one to believe Bibi is the actual puppet master.
JFC, win_blows_.
Perhaps someone with so little self control of their utterances should not in fact get to be elected to the highest office in the land. Just a thought.
Historically a ceasefire means to stop killing, and it is considered broken if hostilities resume.
Baking in the resumption of hostilities is essentially negotiating for peace in bad faith. This has been Netenyahu’s strategy from the start, because he knows an end to the war means an end to his reign of power.
We’ll give them Florida
If only he could say something true instead of only lies. Just this once.
What an absolute ghoul.
When we reform campaign finance laws so that corporate media can no longer buy policy positions, things can change. Until then it’s not happening, because this exact thing resulted in the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine during Reagan’s presidency in 1987.
This seems to be precisely what Netenyahu has in mind, unfortunately.
lol!
lmao even.
You’re right, but consider that virtually all forms of media have been working overtime to reduce average attention spans to the narrowest possible window over the past 20-30 years. This can make it much more difficult for the informed messages to register before that next notification fires off.
Yep, this is good for Lemmy
Afaik this is precisely what the captcha data was intended for - training AI models. Originally leveraged machine learning. LLMs are a slightly different paradigm but same purpose and results here.
