The question is how you get the idea that european governments are regimes
Regime
reˈʒiːm
SUBST abwert.
eine diktatorische, undemokratische Regierung(sform), in der eine Person oder eine Gruppe von Personen (auch unter Einsatz von Gewalt und Unterdrückung) ihre Macht behauptet und durchsetztein totalitäres Regime
In english use, at least in my american experience, it is still a perjorative term but it is usually an accusation of authoritarianism levelled towards (usually democratic) governments and doesnt require it to be a dictatorship or totalitarian.
Most of the time it's used simply as a mark of disapproval. Calling it the currently elected government a regime is not uncommon usage.
In actuality: Probably not a lot. I think it's probably a lot more to do with the dispatcher contacting those countries and asking for permission to fly over which they always need, and those countries breaking with tradition by saying "Absolutely the fuck not I like winning elections thank you."
In my imagined fantasy scenario: You know, there's nothing really stopping one of those countries from intercepting the plane wherever it goes. All it would take is for one of the wilder governments like Italy or Türkiye to just send up some fighters, be prepared for Israel to use its fighters in turn and hey our pilots get some practice, force the plane to land, and then when Netanyahu gets off the plane yelling about such a miscarriage of justice, hand him some printouts of news articles about their violations of Iran's, Qatar's, and Lebanon's national sovereignty with a big smirk on your face and your eyebrows up high. And then tackle him on the tarmac and deliver him to the ICC, job done.
It'll never happen, I sort of doubt that Israel would use their nukes in response but it's hard to say for sure, but it sure would be fulfilling to watch it if someone did decide today's the day.
Netanyahu is a puppet. They're gonna make him the fall guy after carrying through their atrocities. I'm pretty convinced that Netanyahu is like 0.001% of the problem here.
But the puppet of who? Geopolitics has never been an easy thing, but I don't think there are any real masters of puppets out there. Netanyahu is a real player in this horrid thing, but the blame can definitely be spread around as well.

Genuine question, what would happen if he flew over those countries? Aside from shooting down his plane, I’m not clear of what they could do?
Gladaed@feddit.org · 101 pts · 320d
They could send interceptors asking the pilot to land immediately. Civil planes must comply.

I'm sorry, what the fuck dies that mean?
Is this some tankie shit I'm too sober to understand?

I'll take a guess: A regime is a government. EU likely refers to the European Union, given the context.

The real question is why you wrote a response in English on an English threat and then included a fucking German definition for regime?
Really cleared up the whole situation there, bud. Thanks. Clear as dirt.

When you can't answer the question ask a new one, am I right?

Yeah it's just a negative way to refer to a government

“Vermin” yikes
Shooting down civilian aircraft presenting no imminent danger is well within their right. Also yikes
And upvoted. Do better people.

It is an imminent danger, he's a wanted criminal who's actively killing people right now.

Yes. Check out their comments. Very edgy stuff.
chisel@piefed.social · 14 pts · 319d
And if they don't comply? Is it possible for them to do anything other than shoot it down to physically enforce this?
caboose2006@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 319d
As a pilot I'm landing that damn plane wherever the nice man in the Rafale tells me to.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works · 16 pts · 319d
Yep when the fighter jets come you'd better fucking land

Force them to land. But I still doubt they ever would.
Jankatarch@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 320d
Population could protest him flying over with plane and less people would side with Israel.
That's also why during eurovision the security had to snatch people's palestine flags from their hands.
Israel relies on "everyone believes we are the good guys" idea to keep doing what they do.

He doesn't need sanctions, he needs SAMctions.
