Ultranationalist Israeli politicians, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, wore golden noose-shaped lapel pins to a meeting on Monday in order to show their “commitment” to advancing a widely condemned bill to mandate the death penalty for “terrorists” who kill Israelis. The pins resemble the yellow ribbon pins that Israeli leaders have worn throughout their genocide to to…

Noose pins ? Wow, that is beyond disgusting.

They'll go further, just wait

What's wild is that near the end of the sketch they say, "I can't think of anything worse than a skull." I'd say a noose is probably worse...

Baddie as in bad guys or as in slay queen?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I don't know, it's just I've been looking at our uniforms lately.

It's a noose. Like the actual embodiment of an improvised or archaic execution.

The enemies symbols are things like the stars and the moon.

Tee hee, genocide is so funny! Look at his fucking face. He's happy about this. Murdering innocents. Maybe he should be the one with a noose around his neck.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

Those pins are good identifiers of who needs to be "taken care" of... Make note.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Those will be pretty ironic if it ever goes to the Hague.

Which it won't, they're not a defeated enemy, they're a treasured trading partner. But it's nice to dream.

Either circumstantial changes like the rise of the global South (not counting those that have been up for a while because they sleep with the West) will mean the end of Western imperialism or it'll kill us all (the rest by the West, the West by their own hands and ecological collapse). These dreams are too unrealistic even for me, and I believe in the unseen! 🥲😭

I wonder how the Zionists will try to spin this.

"Well, actually they're pins to commemorate Jews who were hanged during the Holocaust!"

Meanwhile Holocaust survivors make the bulk of elderly homeless people in Israel.

[–] cv_octavio@piefed.ca 31 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Israelis definitely studied hard at the genocide thing. Too bad they didn't learn the ACTUAL LESSON. 

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

You know the phrase "Never let a crisis go to waste"?

They're taking it to the next level by using the Holocaust as a shield against criticism to fuel their own genocide.

Despicable humans.

Hey, the GOP wears AR-15 pins to celebrate school shooting, why not?

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, and Netanyahu all need to die in The Hague.

[–] lunelovegood@ttrpg.network 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For every billion dollars the US gives to this genocidal state, that's 1,000 Americans that could've been made millionaires.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

The more you spread it out, the higher the average gain in utility. 1,000,000 Americans with that $1k they desperately need right now.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Still looking forward to the inevitable war crimes tribunal...

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That happens to a country who had its ass kicked by a coalition, not a treasured trading partner and strategic middle-east asset.

This planet is hard to bear.

They'll get their ass kicked by climate change. But still no war crimes tribunal.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

Nothing inevitable about it. That kind of thing only happens when you're defeated in war, taken prisoner by your enemies, or when your entire country sees and regrets the course it has taken. Bush and Cheney faced no consequences, and Kissinger faced no consequences, because no one in a position to bring that about wanted to. Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Smotrich and the rest will face no consequences unless Israel's apartheid regime falls. And that looks unlikely in the near future.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Recently it was in the news that Israel considers Gaza still strongly under the control of Hamas.

Which parts exactly?

Every inch that isn't occupied by Israel.

Israel has made it abbundantly clear that they will not stop until Palestine ceases to exist.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago

It's like they're trying to see just how far they can push their obvious evil and still have their bought politicians dance for them.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

If this was a scene in movie, it would have been ridiculed as unrealistically over-the-top. And yet here we are.

Humanity has no space for people like them and we can't be rid of them soon enough

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 10 points 1 day ago (8 children)

I wonder what Israel's long-term plan is. Because if they achieve their objective and wipe out Gaza then they're going to be international pariahs for pretty much the rest of history.

Regardless of what governments made decide there is going to be extreme social pressure for businesses to not work with them, and the thing is they represent such a small market it isn't worth the inevitable boycott doing business with them would result in. The Israeli government have to know this, civilians living in Israel must know this, yet here we are.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 16 points 1 day ago

They're banking on making people believe the Palestinians don't deserve to live, and that enough people simply won't give half a shit about a bunch of brown people dying. Coupled with plenty in the west hating muslims because of american wars of aggression and propaganda, I think they'll succeed. Even if in say 3 months, the whole palestinian area is simply wiped out, bulldosed into a giant gravel parking lot, not enough people will give a shit, because they just don't give a shit about other people.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The British and Americans have also committed a bunch of war crimes and exterminations of people and are not pariahs. My expectation is, sadly, that nothing will meaningfully happen if they were to "achieve their objective".

Not really. They have a pretty good stranglehold on dictating what others get to think.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

They're probably counting on people eventually forgetting what they did. People can forget quickly.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I should print free Palestine stickers to put on israel products in stores 🤔

Disgusting murderous pigs

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Next they're gonna be wearing fucking swastikas and SS Thunderbolts

Hell awaits.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

the term fascist originated from the Italian word "fascio", which can mean "to bundle".

ironic that they would choose a rope to display their support for a fascist ideology.
