Israeli Ministers Wear Noose Pins to Symbolize Support for Killing Palestinians
cross-posted from: https://ibbit.at/post/127040
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
Hans, are we the baddies?
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?
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.
Tell me this isn't real please
When people show you who they are, believe them.

Lots of independent sources with different angles and background locations so im pretty sure its real
Sadly I didn't really doubt it. But I wanted to.
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.
Those pins are good identifiers of who needs to be "taken care" of... Make note.
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! 🥲😭
Man. Fuck Zionists, and anyone who supports Israel at this point. There are a lot of good Jewish people in the world, and Israel is ensuring them another Holocaust
I find it astounding that when you bring up Jews who oppose Zionism and support Palestine, the Zionists act like you're talking about Russian online trolls and that its impossible to be a Jew and oppose Zionism.
They're basically MAGAts. They're so devoid of morals and worth, that they literally can't fathom that some of their peers have empathy, compassion, and wisdom.
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.
And I will better the instruction. -Shylock.
They learn the important lesson. Be the ones doing it, don't be the ones it's happening too.
It was always "never again... to us."
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.
Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, and Netanyahu all need to die in The Hague.
Hey, the GOP wears AR-15 pins to celebrate school shooting, why not?
For every billion dollars the US gives to this genocidal state, that's 1,000 Americans that could've been made millionaires.
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.
Still looking forward to the inevitable war crimes tribunal...
They'll get their ass kicked by climate change. But still no war crimes tribunal.
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.
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.
They've made it clear that "Hamas" = "Palestinian". Including the children.
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.
Humanity has no space for people like them and we can't be rid of them soon enough
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.
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.
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".
Rhodesia didn't make it though, so there's some precedent for real-world hope too, even though I largely agree with you.
Not really. They have a pretty good stranglehold on dictating what others get to think.
They're probably counting on people eventually forgetting what they did. People can forget quickly.
I should print free Palestine stickers to put on israel products in stores 🤔
Inkjet printers can be traced if the feds really wanted to (probably very unlikely just for stickers though).
With enough American money, anything is possible. The propaganda printers will go brrrr
so, never
Next they're gonna be wearing fucking swastikas and SS Thunderbolts
there should be a palestinian revolution in israel. seriously!
Disgusting murderous pigs
Hell awaits.
Well... I guess this explains how it's anti-semitic to say it's bad to kill Palestinians. What a world.
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.
Huh, how about a large yellow star of David?
You know, indicate how proud you are to be Jewish.
Dude, you're not helping. There are currently Israeli's in power that are shitty, just like when hitler was in power, Germany did. Every single country has shitty people in their past, and sometimes in the current time.
If your people experienced genocide less than 100 years ago, would you gleefully celebrate the same on another race?
Zionists == Nazis
Yes, and trump and his minions are nazis. You're saying what I'm saying, that the people in power are shitty.
History tends to show the cultural memory for stuff like this has a shelf life. It's a little convenient for me to say that my recollection is that it's often about 80 years, because we happen to be 80 years after the end of WW2 right now. But I do feel I've seen that number before for this. It's not that everyone has forgotten over 80 years, but that enough people have either forgotten or changed their minds or softened a bit.
Well my point stands because the ADL and other pro-Israel groups constantly bring up the holocaust and anti-semiticism all the time. So there's not much opportunity to "forget" that it happened.
Yikes.
Surely Jews weren't always like this, right?
Surely all Christians aren't pedophiles, right? /s
Yeah, I'm having doubts about that one as well. But I at least give them credit. Some are also witch burners, and some think women are the problem.
Most of them outside of Israel still aren't. There's no biological reason for anybody to behave in this way, so it's certainly not caused by Israelis being Jewish. There's no reason to blame the behavior of the Israeli government or many of its citizens on their being Jews.
slightly differently worded than your clickbait title
Title seems to fit
