So when is the timeline of when Bibi will actually be out as PM? This is one of those situations where I will still have a hard time believing it until I see it.

The chairman of the Knesset is a Likud stooge so is holding off on it for as long as he can, but I think it's supposed to be sometime by next Monday?

A fire in the mountains of Jerusalem has just forced a break in the legal discussion about Bibi and I cannot honestly say it's silly to suspect his doing in this.

E:Currently the fires are estimated to be manmade as they reportedly started in several locations at once.

On Elie Wiesel

quote:

The Holocaust Memorial Museum gives the Elie Wiesel Award to "internationally prominent individuals whose actions have advanced the Museum's vision of a world where people confront hatred, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity".[44]

quote:

Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 for speaking out against violence, repression, and racism.[48] The Norwegian Nobel Committee described Wiesel as "one of the most important spiritual leaders and guides in an age when violence, repression, and racism continue to characterize the world".[28] Wiesel explained his feelings during his acceptance speech:

"Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant."

quote:

He received many other prizes and honors for his work, including the Congressional Gold Medal in 1985, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and The International Center in New York's Award of Excellence.[50] He was also elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1996.[51]

quote:

Wiesel became a regular speaker on the subject of the Holocaust. As a political activist, he advocated for many causes, including Israel, the plight of Soviet and Ethiopian Jews, the victims of apartheid in South Africa, Argentina's Desaparecidos, Bosnian victims of genocide in the former Yugoslavia, Nicaragua's Miskito Indians, and the Kurds.[54][55]

quote:

In September 2006, he appeared before the UN Security Council with actor George Clooney to call attention to the humanitarian crisis in Darfur. When Wiesel died, Clooney wrote, "We had a champion who carried our pain, our guilt, and our responsibility on his shoulders for generations."[40]

quote:

In 2007, Wiesel was awarded the Dayton Literary Peace Prize's Lifetime Achievement Award

quote:


In July 2009, Wiesel announced his support to the minority Tamils in Sri Lanka. He said that, "Wherever minorities are being persecuted, we must raise our voices to protest ... The Tamil people are being disenfranchised and victimized by the Sri Lanka authorities. This injustice must stop. The Tamil people must be allowed to live in peace and flourish in their homeland.

And then there is this:


quote:

Wiesel criticized the Obama administration for pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt East Jerusalem Israeli settlement construction.

Wiesel also supported Netanyahu when he went to Congress and spoke against Obama for the Iran deal.

quote:

Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel announced his support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Congressional address in March on Iran’s nuclear program, and said he plans to attend the event.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/elie-wiesel-to-attend-netanyahu-speech-to-congress/

On calling for regime change:

quote:

“We have a moral obligation to intervene where evil is in control. Today, that place is Iraq,” he proclaimed in a 2003 op-ed. He went on to demand American-orchestrated régime change in Syria, Libya and Iran.

Yeah, that is the point of why racism against “the bad ones” isn’t good. If some black African dictator does something saying “maybe slavery wasn’t such a bad idea” is a bad thing to say specifically because it’s not the African dictator that is going to read your opinion that you’ve only not been a white power supporter provisionally.

You just don’t need to make Holocaust jokes about any Jews, not even the bad jew you don’t like or the Jews you feel deserve it. That stuff shouldn’t be something you hold provisionally. Like even if a Native American is an axe murder pedophile it’s not your chance to finally make the Trail of tears goofs at them because you found an acceptable target.

If the Israeli government and the IDF and their sycophantic zionist internet blowjob squad don’t want to be called Nazis then they should stop using the Nazi playbook and doing a genocide. It’s pretty simple.

Granted, but one should probably clarify their statement a bit better if that's the intent, otherwise it's easily read as "Bibi the Jew needs to get in the gas chamber"

But saying he should be final solutioned *ISN'T* calling him a nazi, it's calling him a jew.

It's the whole "I would never call a black person the N word!" then calling every black man that is remotely unkind to you an N word gleefully thing of treating racism as "the big guns" where if someone is bad enough you get to say all the fun words your mom told you not to say, and because you are online talking about famous people you can always find a target any time you think up a good zinger.

Imo "kill bibi" jokes seem a bit more suited to c-spam's Israel thread, just the correct vibe for that kind of thing.

Senor Tron

Hell, even if you think such jokes are funny, remember the two following things:

1) There are legitimately anti-Semitic people who will jump on any opportunity to see those views validated.

2) There are many people who automatically assume that any criticism of Israel and/or its government is anti-Semitic.

Saying such things, even if joking, enables dickheads in group 1 which in turn reinforces the views of those who believe 2.

It’s not even saying to kill him, He’s a bad bad man, it’s using specifically anti Semitic language to try to own Jewish people. Just say you want to cut his balls off or something, don’t go reaching specifically for special threats you use just for Jews. People will wrongly claim any criticism of Israel is anti Semitic but That doesn’t mean be actually anti Semitic and call for Holocausting Jewish people.

He's already moved to the opposition seats in the Knesset. It's done. He just has to wait a few months until the new government collapses under the weight of its ideological contradictions anyway.

Deceitful and black-hearted, perhaps we are. But we would never go against the Code. Well, perhaps for good reasons. But mostly never.
Unless they manage to pass the law stopping people under indictment from being prime minister. Which is sort of the point of the coalition, which cuts both ways here. (It will collapse immediately after that passes, so people wanting to keep it alive may delay doing it until it collapses anyway.)
