“They have backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons.”
Netanyahu’s not in the best position to accuse others of genocidal rhetoric backed up with powerful weaponry.

UN nuclear watchdog finds Iran in breach of non-proliferation obligations for first time in 20 years
The IAEA flagged that Iran had amassed more near-weapons-grade uranium in its May 31 confidential report.
The report sternly warned Iran was now “the only non-nuclear-weapon state to produce such material” — something the agency said was of “serious concern”.

Just like those weapons of mass destruction, way back when in Iraq? I’m shocked, I say, shocked!
Here are the global knock-on effects of Trumpism. The world has been afraid of this for years. And mind you, it’s not because the USA is losing its grip, its role of world police. It’s because of fucked-up diplomacy dominated by egomania, backing the wrong allies in the wrong way. And being so dumb that you’re easily exploitable.
I’m sorry for once again seeing every conflict through USian eyes - Americans do that well enough by themselves - but in this case it’s just true. Fuck Trump, Fuck Netanyahu. Let’s hope this nightmare ends soon.
From the article:
A U.S. official told CNN that the United States had no involvement or assistance in the Israeli strikes
Um, sure. No involvement at all during the last 8 decades.
And Netanyahu:
“This is a clear and present danger to Israel’s very survival. 80 years ago the Jewish people were the victims of a holocaust perpetrated by the Nazi regime. Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a victim of a nuclear holocaust, perpetrated by the Iranian regime.”
Of course they stick to that one however nonsensical it has become, considering Israel is the Nazi regime now, inflicting its own holocaust on others.

Can’t keep himself from bragging even as his PR people try to tone it down.
You make it sound like slavish devotion to Israel isn’t bipartisan.
Trump started all this shit when he ruined the last nuclear deal in his first term.
He sure is great at fucking everything up, and sowing chaos.
That’s 3 countries and Palestine, which is also a country in my book.
“Defense”
Are they running out of people to murder in Gaza? Or do they just need someone to fight back, so they can look oppressed?
Neither. Internal politics in Israel threatened to break up the government, and starting a war with Iran was the easiest way to stop that. Can’t break up the government now, we’re in a state of emergency!
Bibi would sooner burn down all of Israel than step down from power.
Yep, exactly this. He’d rather destroy the entire country than lose power, in part because as soon as he loses power he’s likely going to prison for the rest of his life.
The US is obligated by law, to keep sending them weapons in order to maintain a “qualitative military edge” against all potential threats. This unfortunately incentivizes Israel to maintain a high threat level, in order to increase the amount of weapons it receives.
obligated by law, to keep sending them weapons
Can you expand on that?
There are agreements but to which extent are they binding? I guess they are not unconditional.
This explains it in better detail than I could. It isn’t so much a single law, but rather a lot of different laws that all work together to ensure that Israel is given everything it could possibly need for its own defense…even bypassing normal regulatory measures in the process, as long as certain conditions are maintained.
Israel has invested tens of millions of dollars lobbying for, and helping to write, the legislation that guarantees their continuous access to weapons. A lot of it is written directly into defense spending bills that are essential for domestic defense spending as well. So, without a massive shift in policy at the legislative level to disentangle those priorities, that support is legally binding.
The Zionist regime is a rogue state. It threatens the security of mankind.
Unfortunately it also has the backing of a much larger rogue state.
Aw.
Did we get too close to getting along again?
