No wonder Netanyahu is so mad about his Amazon packages permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 18 points 2 years ago (1 child) They're getting away with it so far. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lennybird@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Yes and no. They've since lost global support for their actions; in an unprecedented move they are now being closely investigated for war crimes in a state of the world where such courts want to maintain impartiality to sustain their verdicts against Russia in Ukraine. To me it seems pretty clear that the Biden administration wants nothing to do with Israel but is only willing to follow the polls of public sentiment as opposed to take an aggressive stance ahead of where the public is at. In this respect, Hamas succeeded. Israel over-stepped and committed the equivalent of 30, 40, perhaps 50+ October 7ths. The widespread recognition that Israel is a far-right nationalist government and Bibi is trying to desperately cling to power and avoid conviction in ongoing criminal trials domestically will, hopefully, have serious repercussions in the long-term. Domestically, Israelis may also slowly be coming to the realization that their Democracy isn't so Democratic. Both Netanyahu and Putin are closely watching, and actively trying to influence, these US elections. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago Well His government has been getting away with it for a long long time.
