    Compromising with fascists never works out, because the second you give anything less than 100% support, they treat you like You’ve always been mortal enemies.

    But moderates are constantly re-enacting Charlie Brown going for a fieldgoal

        Does calling Netanyahu ‘Bibi’ put a bad taste in anyone else’s mouth? I know people are trying to emasculate him a lot of the time, but it feels like calling Hitler ‘Addy’.

          I feel the same way. He’s not my friend and he’s not a cute kid or something. He’s a genocidal war criminal.

          It’s situational. When he’s acting like a child it’s fun to bring a little levity to the conversation and mock “strong man” politicians. Treating him like a petulant child When he whines about fairness etc. Doesn’t take away from the genocide of it all. I think we’re intelligent enough to not get lost in the nuance.

    The Trump administration imposed sanctions on the ICC’s former prosecutor, including revoking visas and blocking property access, for investigating alleged war crimes by American troops in Afghanistan and Israelis in Palestinian territories. The U.S. lifted those penalties in 2021, with Blinken calling them “inappropriate and ineffective” at the time.

    Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and Chip Roy (R-Texas) earlier this month introduced a bill to sanction the ICC — which targets individuals accused of war crimes, genocide and other international law violations — for investigating and prosecuting U.S. citizens and American allies, including Israel. Calls to pass that measure, or something like it, grew following the court’s announcement, even though the U.S. is not a member of court.

    They’re telegraphing that they will declare war on the ICC (again) and dismantle whatever’s left of international guardrails if Trump wins, much to Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir’s delight. One can only imagine the shitshow to follow.

      Netanyahu is up there with all time greats at blasting civilians. He can bitch about Biden AND kill civilians with the bombs Biden provides him at the same time. He is a multitalented piece of shit.

    When even your friend who does the most fucked up shit all the time tells you to tone it down a bit, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your actions
