i think when you call the slaughter of the 7 an "attack on multiple targets" you diserve to keep reporting about Britney Spears and the Weezer

They can't stand any criticism. It's a sign of weakness.

Only democracy in the Middle East!

Netanyahu is a ghoul that doesn't deserve to be in charge of a McDonalds, much less a country.

kimoco.bsky.social•487 days ago

It is even worse in Israel from what I am reading.

fababomination.bsky.social•487 days ago

That's not surprising. Netanyahu is a narcissist and a psychopath. If you don't agree with him, he will get you.

Outrageous! Make lots of noise at WH and State press briefing. On air.

Isn’t Israel the largest recipient of cumulative assistance from USG since WWII? WH can bang the drums loudly or quietly behind closed doors if it wants to, can it not?

It can. But it won’t. Because the evangelical lobby is pretty strong, and they really like Israel cause they need Jesus to come back or whatever.

What's really outrageous is that they have not found a way to profit from this horrible tragedy yet

Israel’s current govt sucks ass (as does everyone who voted for them.)

Fanatics always double down.

Anyone who has watched cable news (any outlet) since the recent flare-up began, has seen a steady stream of pro-Israel spokesmen. It's already horrible the US gives 4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. Why do its media companies take sides and act as their bullhorn?

Well yeah, he's a fascist, if you're not praising him then you're the enemy.

Nice looking “democracy” they have there

quokkamcmv3.bsky.social•487 days ago

"the only democracy in the ME" or so they say.

noahshachtman.bsky.social•487 days ago

This is all deeply strange for me. I've been to Israel a dozen or so times. And my time at Hebrew U. was absolutely transformative for me. I hope the Israeli government will reconsider. Either way, Rolling Stone will continue to report the facts as we see them.
