Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a heated response to the news that the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia had officially recognized the state of Palestine.

“I have a clear message to those leaders who recognize a Palestinian state after the terrible massacre on October 7: you are giving a huge reward to terrorism,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “And I have another message for you: it will not happen. A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan River.”

Terroris complain about terrorism. He who killed more than100000 civilians can't talk about anything. Benjamin Netanyahu is in the company of Adolf Hitler as a ultimate monster.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

More intriguing is the fact Israel was created on the back of terrorism specifically several bombings of civilian targets and open public murders of religious leaders that opposed the two state option. You'd think I'd mean solely Muslim or Christian but nope they're responsible for well documented murders of influential Jews.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The total number of people killed by Palestinian terrorists since 1948 is massively exceeded just by the number of Palestinian children under 5 killed by the IDF.

So who are the terrorists?

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl 23 points 2 days ago

"big rewards for terrorism" says biggest terrorist reward recipient. That shithead loves getting all the latest tech and toys from the US to genocide babies.

“And I have another message for you: it will not happen. A Palestinian state will not be established west of the Jordan River.”

Okay, now that he says this in English to our faces, can we stop talking about Israel's cooperation in a two-state solution?

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 74 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He's been saying it in English for decades, publicly for over two years, and everyone still pretending like a two state solution is anything.

None of us are free until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea.

[–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We need to be a bit careful with "from the river to the sea" as to many in Israel, that is a call for Israel's destruction.

It's not Israel or Palestine that can exist. We want them both to exist, in peace. Angry at Israel's genocide though we all are, few are calling for Israel to cease to exist. That's what Israel is doing to Palestine.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

israel should not exist just like how nazi germany does not exist anymore.

[–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Germany existed before and after the Nazis. Israel wasn't always ruled by extremists and should be there when they are gone.

It's a shame Palestine and Israel are divided by religion, but as an atheist, maybe I'm not going to get it.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

"nazi germany" does not exist anymore and is a different country from "Germany" (notice the lack of nazi in the name). israel was founded by terrorists and has always been ruled by extremists who wanted to create lebensraum for their genocidal ethnostate utopia. Palestine and israel are not divided by religion. Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived together in Palestine long before the bloody concept of israel was conceived.

Solution: convince Trump to unilaterally rename the Jordan the “Charlie Kirk Memorial River”, and then the West Bank will no longer be west of the Jordan.

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago

The monkey’s paw curls.

We now have a one-state solution where every citizen regardless of origin has full legal rights, stolen land and houses have been returned, the renamed towns have been reassigned their original names, and a sizable proportion of colonists have willingly chosen to leave because they were only ever interested in being the protected class in an apartheid society. Robust border infrastructure has been rebuilt to Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt, with a direct maglev like from Al Quds to every major nearby city. The world rightly recognizes the crimes that have occurred west of the river and the Nakba now sits in the global public consciousness in the same place as Rhodesia and the Nazi Holocaust.

The catch? The country cannot be named Palestine. It has the be named Donald J Trump (PBUH) Presents: The Miraculous Peace in our Time West of the River of America Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter, Buy Gold and War Bonds

Too optimistic huh. We are allowed to dream

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Who’s talking about that anywhere?

I have a clear message to those leaders who recognize a Palestinian state after the terrible massacre on October 7

In the worlds of the immortal Sean Connery from the movie "The Rock". "I fail to see how you honor the memory of the dead by killing another million."

here's an appropriate reward for that piece of dogshit

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Hopefully it’s slightly dull so they have to try a few times to finish the job.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I like how it's now that there's almost nothing left that western countries chose to recognize the Palestinian state. "Let's just wait until they have finished exterminating the population before we told them it's wrong to exterminate the population. Surely history will remember us as the good guys, we're Canadian after all."

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

While the Gaza Strip may have been reduced to rubble, its people still live on.

Additionally - the West Bank also exists, even if it too faces its own onslaught from the IDF and colonisers masquerading as ‘settlers’.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 70 points 3 days ago

Fuck off bibi, you are the terrorist here

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 29 points 3 days ago

Internationally wanted war criminal said what?

[–] Flickerby@lemmy.zip 39 points 3 days ago

Wah wah wah why won't you just let us exterminate an entire nation? Sad face #warcriminalslivesmatter #itsnotgenocidewhenwedoit #disney

[–] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We actually live in a world in which a corrupt psychopath overseeing a genocide unironically tries to characterize his opposition to the concession of simple human rights to the people he's mass-murdering as some sort of moral high ground.

Humanity doesn't need advances in technology - it needs advances in mental health.

I really don't think there's a single threat facing humanity that can't be traced back to the fact that there are so many people in positions of power and influence who are so obviously so dangerously mentally ill that they shouldn't even be allowed among the general public.

[–] pipi1234@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Completely agree. Greed as displayed by Billionaires is a clear sign of mental illness. Instead most people look up to these lunatics...

[–] cantrips@lemmy.world 43 points 3 days ago

“You are giving a huge reward to terrorism”

Huh that’s weird. Netanyahu thinks we’re rewarding him?

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes all those killed and starving children and infant and journalist and medic political terrorists you fucking turnip

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

You were effectively given 8 weeks to finish up annexing Gaza. This didn't come from no where.

Instead you chose to focus on killing innocent people in the West Bank, which has never been under Hamas control.

You chose poorly Bibi. The west gave you a massive free pass and you fucked it, now you get nothing - sucked in.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Fuck netanyahu and fuck israel.

[–] adubya@feddit.online 29 points 3 days ago

Isn't this the same country handing out golden beepers?

[–] Maverick604@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 days ago (3 children)

“Huge REACTION to GENOCIDE” — there, I fixed it for you, you gigantic piece of shit, Netanyahu.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Netanyahu?

From Haareth: "82 % of Israelis support the expelling of Gazans".

Let's not give Israelis a pass.

Also, this is not new:

Deut 20:16 But in the towns of these peoples, which YHWH your God is giving you as a heritage, you shall not let a soul remain alive. 20:17 No, you must proscribe them—the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites—as YHWH your God has commanded you

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Isn't your Bible quote about stuff that never happened? Israelites never conquered anything they are the Canaanites

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

I'm no historian, I'm just pointing out what the Torah says God commands them to do.

Fuck this horrible motherfucker...

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He is acting pissed off so that people feel Israel was punished enough. No. We must hit them way harder

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago

You mean actually hit them. The time for words is long past.

What's the over under on Trump calling Canada a terrorist/HAMAS next

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I'd bet against it. Extreme left/communist is more likely to be the smear of choice.

The government just gives healthcare away! And the milk is anti-freedom!

~~leaders~~ fascists these days just label their enemies as terrorists and they just get to do whatever they want. Apparently we are all Hamas now.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 3 days ago

It more like, there trying to make a vague gesture towards not rewarding your state terrorism.

Yeah, if we know anything about Canada and Australia, it's that they are definitely the bad guys...

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 3 days ago

Carney is shit, but as I've pointed out, the alternatives are a fast track to fascism.

I voted Aus Greens first, but made sure Albanese's Labour was still in the ranking so that there was still some bulwark against the regressive parties.

Unlike the Americans, I can make an unpleasant choice to do my part in stopping the Nazi takeover.

What a sick piece of shit.
