    Nothing suprising here, didn’t Financial Minister Smotrich say that Gaza should be nuked months ago?

      Trump’s team is also saying the same. I can see it going like this:

      Trump backed Israel nukes Gaza. Iran gets pissy about this and tries to nuke Israel. US immediately interferes and tries to nuke Iran in retaliation. Israel, if it still exists, also joins. This pisses off Russia who joins in the fight. China and North Korea follow. Taiwan, Ukraine, and South Korea get attacked. We all die.

        Israel is not going to nuke Gaza. They can’t control the wind. Iran maybe. Gaza, no way. That’s just poisoning themselves. They may be genocidal, but they’re not that stupid.

            I’m sure some people want it to happen, but Netanyahu isn’t suicidal. He’s not going to destroy Gaza just so he can die of radiation sickness.

            The riff-raff are the true believers (in Israel, most being brainwashed since childhood with racial supremacist beliefs).

            The leadership are just Sociopaths.

            Sociopaths do what they do, no matter how abhoring, for their own personal gain and satisfaction, and dying from radiation poisoning ain’t good or satisfying.

          It’s a bit like Finland and Russia; we’re the one country they wouldn’t nuke because St. Petersburg is too close.

          It’s almost poetic, really.

    Sadly, even taking about issues like this one outside of !worldnews@lemmy.world will get you called out for spreading “Republican propaganda” (as you can’t make it seem that Biden and his allies want to expand the current war). I hate to sound like a doomer but bleak times (are most likely) ahead.

      You are constructing a counter factual universe here and trying to impose the weird viewpoint on everyone else by sheer repetition. Talking about Israel’s crimes, in this or pretty much any other place on Lemmy, is obviously fine. I dare you to find me even a single place where someone talks about Israel and someone else chimes in with “how dare you! You are making Biden look bad!” out of the blue, or anything else that is remotely like that interaction.

      What people respond negatively to, I think, is a specific gang of accounts that tie every single story about anything somewhere in the world back to “And that’s why don’t vote for Biden!” when the pure logic of it (or of him being happy about Israel’s war let alone wanting it to expand) makes no sense at all.

    Did anyone read the article? Do you realize how many unhinged nutjobs say crazy shit in parliaments and US congress every day?

    This is click bait. Nothing to do with Israeli policy

        Oh, it’s worse and weirder than that. More than a few hardcore evangelicals are excited by the prospect, because they think it’s going to be the literal biblical Rapture, and that they’ll be Saved.

        That’s not a joke or a sarcastic comment. It’s completely serious.

        We ignore the insanity of these theocratic fascists at our peril.

    anyway. did you know that theran is standing on soil that rather sooner than later will crumble and take the city down? climate change sped this up, but stupid “government” doesn care. large cracks around all of the city, sinkholes in theran. it is not worth bombing a country thats doomed already by nature. wait it out. good will happen.
