This is what happens when you take pictures in black and white.
You can find a picture like this of any politician.
Not saying the isreali government is not committing a genocide. They totally are.
The message is more related to the cheerful celebration of a politician while they are committing heinous acts.
After a decade has passed everyone will be looking back at Netanyahu's visit to congress and pretending they can't imagine anyone could let this happen.
I think the video is more interesting than the picture. These asshole applaud and whooo that wanker as if he was part of the backstreet boys
It's definitely a low point for our congress, which is saying something. Netantahu's visit and reception is the perfect illustration of just how far to the right the political frame has moved in this country.
Who are the people on the bottom image. I guess they are amerikan politicians?
Netanyahu visited Congress yesterday he was very popular https://streamable.com/eff3cz
Can't we just criticize whatever he is doing wrong without stupid comparisons?
No, he is not a Hitler. No, Gaza is not a concentration camp. And the classification of whether it is a genocide or not will not be the job of a random Lemmy user.
Well it's also not my job to tell you to shut up but I'm still going to. The dude is a hateful monster wanting to wipe a group of people off the map and from history because they are living where they were born and he really wants to put up some shopping malls and houses there instead. Now back to my opening sentence unless you actually have something useful to add to the discussion shut up.
Why do you even write this text, if you don't want to hear what I want to say?
BTW: I don't argue against the fact that terrible things are happening there. But that's not the definition of genocide. If you want to call it a genocide, go ahead. I'll just go ahead and mention the terrible things happening there without using buzzwords.
unironically denying genocide
It's interesting that professionals who know about public international law are usually careful calling it genocide, because this is a complex topic, but random lemmy users with no experience are 100% sure (probably because they heard it from others).
I have no problem calling it genocide when it is actually classified as one. But sorry... I think, it's just stupid to use this word as a buzzword.
German apologia for Zionism is really revolting.
Imagine, Netanyahu would actually build concentration camps or declare to kill all palestinians or explain that Jewish people are surpirior because of their blood and then conquer the whole middle east region?
I mean... Who do you compare him with in that case? You have already used the Hitler comparison, which is already a 100/100 on the "very bad person" ladder......
