Organized religion can get fucked along with all these deathmongers using “god” as an excuse to kill or harm others.

"We all will have to provide answers to what happened on Oct. 7, myself included — but only after the war," said Netanyahu.

So he wants more time for war crimes before anyone charges him with war crimes. And he's referencing biblical prophecy and all but calling it a holy war. The man has lost his mind clearly.

[-] athos77@kbin.social 61 points 1 year ago

He knows he's in the shit. But he's thinking maybe he can quickly arrange cover with the ultra religious, and the longer he stays in office, the more time he has to arrange cover or change the narrative.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

The people of Israel and his supporters are on the hook as well.

Never again means never again, for any people.

Hoooo boy. He’s legitimately trying to turn this into a holy war for Israelis. This is going to get messy (well, messier than it is already).

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 44 points 1 year ago

Invoking Christian text too. That way he can unify the Christian right on the side of Israel.

Defeating Hamas?

A war against Hamas that targets civilians is just going to create more Hamas.

You kill 100 civilians for every 4 Hamas fighters, all you end up with is 10 new Hamas fighters from the relatives of the civilian dead.

He's delusional.

Thats why I honestly believe that he just wants to genozide all Palestinians and grab the remaining land. Thats the only possible end to this conflict if Israel stays on this path. And it was on this path since 70 years, so why stop now? The colonization of North America had a similiar pattern. Settle deeper and deeper in the territory of the other group and if they attack you, strike back ten times harder. Repeat until they have no suitable land left. It's making me sick that we have to watch this shit in our times and that our politicians allow it or even support it.

Anyone who doesn't think this is delusion. The Israeli government never wanted peace

Delusional. I feel like he doesn’t necessarily care about his own people either, just want to commit genocide and take over land at any cost.

The fact that people still defend this guy makes me perplexed.

[-] runblack@reddthat.com 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He knows that he'll lose power once that war ends. He will prolong it as long as he can. Of course he doesn't care about the lifes of his own people, never did.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Right-wingers never give a shit about their own people.

[-] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 49 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You can't defeat hamas militarily. They are a terrorist group, they want to be attacked as viciously as possible, because that creates more recruits for them.

Its been proven time and time again and yet every single time these old fucking cranks do not understand that.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Hey, as long as it distracts Israel from his judicial problems and his role in allowing Hamas to rise, it's all good for him.

Removing Netanyahoo will make the prophecy of a better society a reality

[-] halfempty@kbin.social 38 points 1 year ago

This is the kind of deadly nonsense that happens when you have a religious state. US Christian nationalists should take note, though they support Netanyahu for the sole reason that it reinforces their biblical doomsday prophecies of their own.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 year ago

US Christian nationalists should take note

They are well aware.

And it's an outcome they want.

That's how they get Buddy Jesus to come back and punish all the sinners for their pleasure.

Or something like that.

He literally sounds like all those terrorist religious zealots that I was told were such a threat for bringing sharia law to ‘the homeland’ after 9/11. How long will rational thinkers have to suffer under the weight of ignorant frauds like Netanyahu and their magic fan fictions. What a absolute sick joke of an ideology.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 34 points 1 year ago

Religious ethnostates are a threat to world peace.

Anyone who thinks god gave them some land is incapable of rational negotiation about said land.

Great, the fucking crusades are back.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

He should really really read up on his history before he fourth crusades Israel.

Biden: "Yep, this is our guy. Full support. Now I'm going to go home and push through KOSA and make anything pro-gay online illegal. What are the democrats going to do? Vote against me? That only help Trump."

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Netanyahu use "Activate Evangelicals" on Republicans

Its super effective!

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

What's funny is that saying Isaiah's Prophecy will be fulfilled is completely opposite to Christianity, since Christians believe is already was fulfilled with the birth of Jesus.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Bruh you think they've actually read and understood the old testament?

History always fondly remembers the guy who said "God needs us to kill all of those people".

[-] ShroOmeric@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

This guy is no different from the criminals of Daesh.

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Basically he means the coming of the Messiah which is funny because

Christians and Muslims believe the anti christ will show up pretending to be the Messiah and lead the Jews astray

Also

In a death that resembles that attributed to Isaiah in Lives of the Prophets, Muslim exegesis recounts that Isaiah was martyred by Israelites by being sawn in two

There's so much religious irony in this statement, I'm sure anyone could find more examples of comedy lol

[-] ghostdoggtv@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

If Israel's god was real, would it have allowed the October 7 attacks to happen to his chosen people? Of course not.

Every single ethnic cleansing in history is rooted in lies and this one is no different.

Fuck you Bibi. That is all.

[-] athos77@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

From what I remember (a very long time ago!), Isaiah is basically We're unjustly oppressed and attacked and things look really bad, but just trust in God and your leaders and your diaspora will come home and everyone will come to your side and your enemies will be defeated and we'll end up rich and in charge.
