Lmao what? Has RFK been renting out his brain worm?

this is why no one should take Bibi Yahoo seriously. The man will say anything to further racist hatred and violence. He doesn't give a shit about making peace or being a good ally. All he wants is Western money to fund more Islamophobia.

Yahoo is a good name for him, bibi is his own nickname, it helps him using it. Netanyahu is cumbersome to write, and fuck him.

He is a yahoo, a nazi one.

I am pretty sure he would go and return freely to israel

Lol the UK would give him free orphans to torture and send him on his way with a smile.

what a great ally of the UK!

There is no bigger welfare state on the entire planet than Israel, and this guy basically lives to bite the hand that feeds him. I'm always amazed at how UK and US politicians freak out about providing public services to their own citizens but are so willing to provide billions of dollars of government assistance to foreign citizens every year.

Israel owes it's existence to the UK and France and the US.

So is Pakistan not a Republic or ... ? Seriously though, was he already senile in 1998?

jdr@lemmy.ml · 14 pts · 32d

It's certainly more of a republic than the UK, which is a monarchy, as the name suggests.

Yeah but the UK got nukes first

MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 31d

Not before it "became" "islamic", according to idiots who buy what Bibi's selling. Pakistan definitely came a lot closer to meeting his bullshit criteria "first".

Pakistan is not a republic in truth no, it's a military junta run firm.

anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 13 pts · 32d (1 reply)

Unless they were already an "Islamic Republic" in 1991, they should be fine with Iran having some because "Islamic Republics" have a perfect record of not nuking anything. The same can't be said for "Jewish Republics".

This entire situation really makes me appreciate secular governments a little bit more.

Sorry can't hear you over your Genocide, Benjamin Netanyahu, the screaming blocks out everything and I am left to ponder for how many eons Jews will condemn your ideology as an utter betrayal of the foundational tenets of Judaism.

Sure, if I get to say Israel is the first Nazi country to have one.

We pay for his security and he spits in our faces, both the UK and the USA.
