Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a map of Israel that erases the occupied West Bank, marking it as Israeli territory, in an address to the media yesterday.

The Israeli premier appeared standing in front of a wall-sized digital map that obliterated the West Bank. Palestinians decried the move as an explicit annexation of the occupied territory by Tel Aviv.

      If not explicitly the goal, definitely at least complicit. We deserve whatever consequences come our way eventually.

      And you better believe they’re coming.

      The Global West is terrible at preventing genocides.

      Rwanda, Darfur, Rohingya, etc. If it’s not in the Global West’s interest, it’s fuck them victims.

        I mean arms dealers need to sell weapons, but better if it doesn’t draw them in themselves, so genocides are better than two sided wars. And the primary export of the US is weapons, so…
