Netanyahu was gifted an opportunity to boost his global standing by handling an attack on his country with dignity, grace, and precision.

He's somehow fumbled this so badly that he's managed to turn most of the world against Israel despite them not firing the first shot in this particular war, He's exposed the atrocities Israel has committed to an entire generation of people who may have never known about them otherwise, and his response goes so far beyond the scope of defense that they're well into the realm of genocide.

What a fucking idiot.

Basically this.

I know several people who were… uneasy with the destitution and humanitarian issues they saw in Gaza, but supported Israel overall because before Oct7 the news was only “Hamas fires 16 rockets against Haifa” and Israel wasn’t going wild carpet bombing

That ambiguous support is gone now that Likud & the coalition have gone full mask off. They’re not pushing BDS, but their view has fundamentally shifted on this conflict over a matter of days and weeks

Also he supported and helped Hamas. 🤷‍♂️

[–] Diotima@kbin.social 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He misspoke.

He meant "total genocide."

[–] Spendrill@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Nah I think he meant to say 'total victory' as in:

Do you believe with the Führer and us in the final total victory of the German people?

Apparently he's referencing Goebbels's Sportpalast speech.

Netanyahu decides that the hostages don't need to be saved

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

He never made a decision because the thought never occurred to him to try.

He prefers those who don't get captured

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I knew the slogan "bring them back" was pointless all along.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The moron overplayed his hand. He promised he would fight to the death, so who would make a deal with someone who is that genocidal?

[–] Doods 0 points 1 year ago

I mean he is FIGHTING TO THE DEATH, and for it as well.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

Guess that is his “final solution”

What an absolute scumbag Bibi is.

[–] Psiczar@aussie.zone 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

…no matter the human cost, on either side.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The human cost for Palestinians is the whole point for him and his fellow war criminals in the Israeli government.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 year ago

Exactly. He wants Palestinian annihilation.

[–] antidote101@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

He's a far-right Zionist psychopath. A religious nut job doing an ethnic cleansing, and western leaders support this form of racial apartied and violence. In some cases they're even funding it.

Much like the war in Ukraine I fear this won't end until the head of the snake lies beside the chopping block. :/

[–] huf@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

unfortunately, the head of the snake is in washington

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

He should really grow his little mustache out, complete the look!

[–] Melina@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He’s a goner

rip-bozo

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They just need to start putting the stupid little mustache on him whenever they show a picture of him.
