Nancy Pelosi says Israel's Netanyahu 'should resign' as prime minister over Hamas war
Pelosi’s comments follow Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's call for new elections in Israel.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's so bizarre to me that a politician saying that the grotesquely corrupt psychopath in charge of an apartheid nation that's carrying out a genocide on one front and an incremental land grab on another while they also try to provoke yet another nation into attacking so they can play the victim as they continue their egregious crimes "should resign" is a newsworthy event.
The world is in the hands of insane monsters.
Well, it’s newsworthy because, while Pelosi is hella old, she hasn’t technically retired yet. And politicians actually saying or doing things that are morally defensible usually comes after retirement (unless you’re part of the progressive wing that the DNC is basically trying to shut down altogether).
Exactly, and that's bizarre.
We actually live in a world in which politicians are expected to be dishonest, amoral and corrupt fuckwads and the few in Washington who aren't are outcasts even in their own party. And we just accept that. It's insane.
The world is in the hands of insane monsters.
I too get that feeling since around 2010.
And knowing that for sort of the night of the long knives, but for many bigger nations and elites, nothing which we'd notice is needed, - maybe something like that did happen then. Or maybe a bit earlier - in 2006-2009.
Israel isn't apartheid. Anyone saying they are has no clue what apartheid is or means.
Shut up...
Amnesty international says otherwise
Hasbarist trolls running to give cover to Israel committing atrocities in my name and using my tax dollars hold a special place in hell.
HRW is a pretty terrible source, just saying. Also, I've been to South Africa, and I've been to the National Apartheid Museum. Israel may not be perfect, but it isn't even close to being apartheid.
It's nice that you visited, but I believe people like Desmond Tutu, who actually lived through Apartheid in South Africa..
There's a reason why South Africa are the ones with the case against Israel in the international courts. They know what this is.

Why?

Seems pretty credible..
And this isn't an opinion thing, that Human Rights Watch link goes into great detail on various ways that Israel is an apartheid.
Like, we're not talking about if a band makes good music or not, apartheid has a recognized definition by international bodies....
How about Jimmy Carter for a source?
