"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Ben Gvir has no redeemable qualities about him and I for one wouldn't weep if he came to an unfortunate end.

I really hope the least is that I can see that damned nation collapse.

Right to exist is such a wierd thing. Right to self determination applies to any people, but states don't have rights. Why can't me and 5 guys go out and form the people's republic of Chattanooga and claim we have a right to exist?

Proving intent for genocide should be so easy. I really hope we get trials for some of these monsters.

People have a right to exist, but countries isn't a people and Isn'treal isn't a country.

Pirzio Biroli proclaimed to his soldiers in April 1942:

The fable of the buono italiano must cease! The Italian soldier is above all a warrior. He who does not wish to understand the generosity of a friendly hand will now feel the force of our fist…Let there be no pity for whose who cowardly kill our brothers and show no quarter for those who shoot our comrades and make war prisoners in contempt of international conventions. Show these barbarians that if Italy is the master and mother of civilization, it also knows how to punish with the inexorable laws of justice … Do not let the misery of the people whose land you occupy today move you to pity. The Montenegrin peoples have wished this misery upon themselves … He who hates Fascism hates Italy.²⁹⁸

At the same time Pirzio Biroli announced that for every Italian officer killed or wounded, fifty Montenegrins would die.²⁹⁹ “The whole country is in revolt,” he told Pietromarchi. “Men of fighting age should be sent to concentration camps.” Pietromarchi agreed; “We should have done this sooner.”³⁰⁰ The “Lion of Gondar” had indeed roared.³⁰¹

Israel [sic] must make it clear to the entire world...

Sometimes I wonder what is the Zionist endgame for this message to the world. I don't want to minimize the Palestinian genocide in the slightest, but I can understand that it is a result of Settler-Colonialism and Capitalism extraction. It is unspeakably brutal, that is the plan and they want to expand it to Lebanon no matter the cost. However, what do they get from basically telling everyone "we are gonna commit Genocide"? Is it just Settler-Colonialism? Why are you alienating the entire world "Israel"? I don't know if I'm trying to find a reason for something that is inherently irrational or something.

TLDR: Death to "Israel"

They seek to incite fear to legitimize conquest at any cost. Look at old world empires and the new world empire, for example. Red Scare, Al Qaeda, Taliban, Islamic State! We have to conquer less they conquer us!

Fascism is stupid. They've whipped themselves up into a genocidal frenzy. They also see that they are finally losing their domination of the "narrative" globally, and are making a major push while they still have key support.

The ping-pong seemed a little bit too intense for them. Which makes sense, since ping-pong gets pretty crazy.

[–] SuperstarAmelia@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 month ago

This guy feels like he was made in a lab to be bad PR for Israel. They really feel so untouchable that they're comfortable being openly genocidal.

[–] CommieKhinkali@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 month ago

Israel has a right to suck my sweaty balls tho.

[–] big_spoon@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 month ago

technically they're just trying to convince us that israel exists, but isn'treal

Fear mongering is a psyop.
