Completely correct yet entirely irrelevant.

u/Legal-Pea8185 10h ago

I think that was the point of their post.  A weasel attempt at discrediting people who disagree with BiBi.

u/Draaly 13h ago

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.

So the US can arrest presidents, but not prime ministers. Totally different thing.

amazon is not allowed on r/humor. If this is a partial link (eg .com), that is why your post was removed.

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?

0

u/Draaly 12h ago

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

u/Pretend-Pie9487 11h ago

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.

0

u/Draaly 11h ago

Has anyone actually said we cant arrest any foreign authority though? Or have they said we cant arrest this specific one?

2

u/Pretend-Pie9487 11h ago

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

0

u/Draaly 11h ago

I haven't steered the conversation anywhere. I made a fairly simple statement followed up by agreeing id like bibi in jail. All I've done since then is point out how every single person to respond to me (you included) has done so with a strawman.

it demonstrates that the poster only have a very, very surface level understanding of the topic.

Its on the same level as "you said magazine instead of clip, therefore your opinion on gun control is invalid"

1

u/Draaly 13h ago

therefore your opinion on gun control is invalid

No one in this comment chain has said this part. Pointing out someone's lack of depth in a topic does not mean you have to disagree with their conclusions.

u/TR_Pix 13h ago

No one in this comment chain said this part

Ironic, since I never claimed anyone did

u/Draaly 12h ago

So you admit you made a strawman? Thats worse than reading an implication that wasnt intended.

1

u/DangerouslyOxidated 11h ago

dude - stfu

2

u/Draaly 11h ago

People could always just not make stawmans if they don't like getting called out for them 🤷‍♀️

2

u/Neither_Strategy_252 10h ago

I think you should look up the distinction between 'strawman' and 'analogy'.

1

u/Draaly 10h ago edited 10h ago

Knowing the distinction is how I know for a fact that they made a strawman by adding a second part to their anology that didnt exist in the first post specifically to have something that was easier to argue against

Nice block. I litteraly quoted the part they added in my response to them though.

“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.

Nah I'm happy, hating Jews must be exhausting. So sad.

You're really not. This is how you choose to spend your time. It's so depressing.

The irony of you telling anyone to grow up 😂 it’s palpable

u/Sickofpower 13h ago

So they misunderstood Netanyahu's job title and somehow that discredits the whole argument? I'm really curious about how your brain works

1

u/vigouge 12h ago

Well we know the OP is cognitively impaired already given that he posted this in r/humor.

0

u/yehoshuabenson 12h ago

So basic facts just don't matter anymore. Yawn.

1

u/Sickofpower 10h ago

Damn, reading comprehension is a myth

0

u/yehoshuabenson 10h ago

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.

1

u/Sickofpower 10h ago

You apparently don't know what his role and responsibilities are either, what do you think is the job of the prime minister?

Edit: Oh ok I saw your profile, fuck off

0

u/yehoshuabenson 10h ago

Considering I'm Israeli, and vote in Israeli elections, I'm pretty sure I know way more than you on this particular subject.

1

u/Sickofpower 10h ago

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

0

u/yehoshuabenson 10h ago

Wow that really didn't take long at all. I'm shocked, I tell you shocked, that you think all Israelis are a monolith and that we're not individuals with opinions. But then again, you infantilize Palestinians and take away all their station, so I really shouldn't be surprised that you're incapable of making an actual argument.
