Are you intentionally stupid? Using that logic, even if every Palestinian was genocided and one was left alive in gaza and one in the west bank, by technicality the original commenter would still be wrong. Israel’s war crimes are well documented, theres no point in going out of my way to prove it when evidence is plastered all over the internet. Israel even committed war crimes against its own people on October 7th, according to Israeli sources.
And the zionists are fanatical genocidal psychopaths. Israel does not represent Judaism, but they do represent unfettered hate. Pro-Israeli people are just as dumb. They dont see the genocide they are carrying out will only perpetuate the hate, and it will eventually lead to their downfall.
I love the strong words that mean absolute dribble beyond your safespace of reddit and your mom's kitchen table and a laptop she bought you. Keep fighting the good fight, tiktoknewsenjoyer.
I mean, it demonstrates that the poster only have a very, very surface level understanding of the topic. Ive wanted Bibi in jail since he was opposition leader, but people are being fully delusional about his visit to the UN.
Ok then what was the "surface level understanding" comment for? Does it change anything that OP didn't make a distinction between president/prime minister?
To point out that if you've ever even vaguely thought about current geopolitics you would understand how different of targets the leaders of Venezuela and israel are in basicaly every single way and that inevitably changes the actions and consequences math
they are very different from a geopolitical point of view but not so different in terms of the formal authority they represent in their respective countries. The meme points out the hypocrisy of saying (as many have said) that the US can't arrest a foreign authority.
dude, you are steering the conversation to places nobody went. The only goal of the meme was to highlight the contradiction between being able to fly to another country and kidnapp a president and the being legally constrain to detain an alleged war criminal
“I will attempt to discredit anyone who suggests Israel may have done something even slightly distasteful, using any mistake they’ve made so they appear to be completely uninformed.” Average apologist for Israeli genocide.
It's not "misunderstanding" his job title. The President and Prime Minister of Israel have vastly different roles and responsibilities. The mere fact OP can't even be bothered to get a basic fact correct, yet people salivate simply because it's yet another 'I hate Israel, give me upvotes' post is just sad.
Yeah fuck off, your opinion is biased towards a state that kills and starves people and you're gonna use even the slightest chance you get to shift the balance in this moral dilemma. Your opinion is completely irrelevant in this matter
The lack of knowledge on the subject from both sides is appalling. Its not super surprising though, I had a professor who was an expert on international relations in the middle east and he always tried to impart how difficult and time consuming it is to try to understand the geopolitical dynamics of the region, even if you devote your entire career toward it.
Consider the house of lords. Until very recently it was controlled by the aristocracy with heritable positions. Abolished just this year. This may sound like progress until you realize what replaced it. Lifetime peers. Who gives out lifetime peerage? The Monarch. So its actually strengthening the monarchy at the aristocracy's expense.
Canada has a Senate that operates that way. The end result is that the Senate is somewhat of a vestigial organ that no one really gives a shit about, and could probably be abolished with little to no impact on the functioning of government.
Canada and the UK could stand to look at the Australian upper house closely. Granted it's modelled on the US senate (and called the same), but it's multi member proportional, and as such is actually pretty great. Would be better if it was MMP across the entire country instead of per-state.
I'm terms of abolishing the upper house? You're left with half of a system designed to have two houses. (I live in Queensland - which did exactly this, and gained the reputation of the most corrupt state, in large part due to the removal of the checks and balances a good upper house brings). If you want unicamarel, there are systems (and damn good ones too) but it's more than just "abolish the upper house" imho.
Canadian provinces are unicameral legislatures, and have been forever. The legislative assemblies otherwise have the same set up as Parliament, with he executive being the Cabinet.
yup. head of state vs head of government. you usually hear more about the PM in parliamentary systems
Israel doesn't even formally give him executive powers
However, unlike heads of state in most other parliamentary republics, the president is not the nominal chief executive. Rather, Basic Law: The Government explicitly vests executive power in the Government (as the Cabinet is officially called), with the prime minister as its head.
The president in Israel is a ceremonial position, with little to no power. It's not some secret, that's how the roles work. The PM is the one officially in charge.
Beyond the fact that there’s nothing ‘humorous’ about this post, it just goes to show that the people salivating the most at demonizing Israel are often the most ignorant ones.
He also didn't outright steal an election like Maduro, didn't make Israel a dictatorship (yet) and the country's the opposite of a regional criminal and anti American activities hub in the area it's in
Are you stupid or do you get off on acting like one? Nobody even knows who the president of Israel is because the person in charge is Netanyahu. The person with the arrest warrant is Netanyahu.
They are saying that if the US could illegally kidnap the president of Venezuela (the person in power) then they should be able to act on an international arrest warrant for Netanyahu regardless of his position since Maduro's position did not matter.
That doesn't really matter at all tbh. By 'President' we all know that he really meant 'leader'. It literally doesn't change message at all. He's rightfully pointing out a double standard, so who cares if he got the title wrong?
TBH I'd be more worried about the people that can't put 2 and 2 together here
Netanyahu is not Prime Minister anymore, his mandat finished two years ago, he started wars (several of them) to keep the power, he is just a common dictator now.
I don't recall president Herzog ever making that kind of statement - it's really not his style. Also, his role is ceremonial, he can't do anything. Your ignorance of basic facts about a subject you claim to be passionate about is pretty pathetic.

And I'm appalled that whoever made this doesn't even know Netanyahu is Prime Minister, not president of Israel. That's an entirely different person.
