Israel is calling for his resignation for these remarks. Read his remarks for yourself. If those remarks are so unpalatable to Israel it is because Israel wants to commit genocide unhindered.

Fuck that. Never again doesn’t mean you get to do it this time.

@aral read the post you self-righteous idiot.

@qballer Or else what? You’ll bomb me too?

Goodbye.

@tdverstynen @aral
So Hamas gets a pass because they target civilians in the most brutal way and we can't do anything? We remain defenseless. We have been doing that for 20 years. It didn't work out for us, we got the 7th. You know what here is a superpower. it's the 7th of October you are the head of state in Israel - what do you do? How do you protect your people? Why should people trust the government to keep them safe if you do nothing?

@qballer @aral

None of these rambling and incoherent rants even comes close to justifying war crimes. They’re just whataboutisms designed to deflect the point and make you feel better about not facing the true moral crisis at hand.

Pretty sad. That must be a hell of a headspace to be trapped in. I hope you find true moral clarity.

@tdverstynen @aral Bla bla bla. Don't defend your self israeli 0 go die peacefully. No, thank you.

Here is a simple question: it's the 7th of October what do you do? you are head of state. Your skin isn't in the game. No danger for you, easy to take moral high ground.

@qballer @aral

I tell you what I wouldn’t do. I wouldn’t rob my people of the sympathy they deserve from the international community by running headlong into an operation that commits mass atrocities against civilians because I am too lazy or enraged to deal with the complexities of the problem.

Yes, there is an irony of me saying this as an American. But in all fairness I protested the Iraq wars when our idiot right wing administration did the same thing.

How does it feel to be thousands of miles away with your neck not involved? If you knew what you were talking about, maybe I would listen. But you don't. On the plus side - you don't matter.

@qballer @aral

How does it feel to become the monster you proudly tell people that you fight against?

I hope that wallowing in your self righteous hatred at least brings you a little bit of solace. Because that’s the only possible good thing about it.

@tdverstynen @aral You assume far too much. Go away, run to your internet corner where your opinions are safe.

@qballer @aral

You can feel superior to me all you want. It means nothing except to gratify your own ego which it appears that you need right now.

Some day you may see that your positions have made you the monster that you purport to hate. I hope that you can forgive yourself if and when that happens.
