It makes sense when random people or celebrities make these demands...
But Pelosi is a senior member of our government, she doesn't have to just make these public statements.
Cutting off aid until Bibi is about of power isn't just possible, compared to other ways we've kicked genocidal maniacs out of power it's down right cordial.
We need the people who do have the power to get shit down, actually put the work in and do it.
It's so bizarre to me that a politician saying that the grotesquely corrupt psychopath in charge of an apartheid nation that's carrying out a genocide on one front and an incremental land grab on another while they also try to provoke yet another nation into attacking so they can play the victim as they continue their egregious crimes "should resign" is a newsworthy event.
The world is in the hands of insane monsters.
Well, it’s newsworthy because, while Pelosi is hella old, she hasn’t technically retired yet. And politicians actually saying or doing things that are morally defensible usually comes after retirement (unless you’re part of the progressive wing that the DNC is basically trying to shut down altogether).
Exactly, and that's bizarre.
We actually live in a world in which politicians are expected to be dishonest, amoral and corrupt fuckwads and the few in Washington who aren't are outcasts even in their own party. And we just accept that. It's insane.
The world is in the hands of insane monsters.
I too get that feeling since around 2010.
And knowing that for sort of the night of the long knives, but for many bigger nations and elites, nothing which we'd notice is needed, - maybe something like that did happen then. Or maybe a bit earlier - in 2006-2009.
As soon as he's out of power he's most likely going to prison for corruption, so I don't think he'll be taking her advice.
I agree but also she should resign due to her being old as shit.
And insider trading
So should every politician who is supporting him through funds.
Didn't they have like 7 elections in a row over the course of 5 months and Bibi finally won as was like "this closest election ever in the history of Israel gives me the mandate to rule over it like a total dictator, time to gut the judges, throw the ultra-orthodox into the military, appoint my friend Lieberman head of a secret anti-protest milita and genocide gaza!"
Shit he even lost a few of them but no one could form a government. I hear on the news that some people were just voted Likud just to end the forever stalemate.
The Israeli left had been weak since the Yom Kippur War.
Edit: damn autocorrect
Yom
Ftfy
Thank you.
First off, I agree.
Secondly: lol never happening
That would probably be for the best.
Really? I thought people accusing Israel of genocide were russian trolls and chinese spies?
She also called Palestinian protestors Chinese agents so this is probably because Bibi isn't doing a good job doing PR and blindly listening to Biden and not because he's actively involved in a genocide.
fuck that's what im talking about let's go
Good to see from Nancy Pelosi.
Took her far too long to notice.
The man who would replace Netanyahu, Benny Gantz, considered to be a left-wing Israeli politician, will do the same things that Bibi has been doing... ya know, considering it is a unity government and all. The leftists who think they'll get their way in allowing Hamas to survive by getting rid of Netanyahu really are ignorant.
Those aren't leftists. It's mostly liberals who tell themselves that israel as a ethno nationalist state is perfectly fine but that a prime Minister boastfully taking Israel to it's natural conclusion of ethnic cleansing and genocide is too much. They want it to be done more quietly.
Right, but Netanyahu needs to go, regardless.
This comment took a hard left turn
Wait why should Hamas be allowed to survive? They are not the good guys, they are not Palestine, they are wealthy men living abroad. I was hoping this would be a great chance to end both leaderships, not pretend like Hamas are victims
