"well that's a risk we're willing to take" - Israel, probably

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No probably.

Call me whatever, but the current AshkeNAZI in power in Israel is akin to Hitler in both monstrosity of his acts and evil of his intent.

Bibi is bent on genocide.

If there is a god that he represents it's ba'al zebub. King of shit. Lord of flies. Spreader of disease.

May he receive his biblical dues.

Are you talking about the Polish guy who is president of the expansionist settler colonial state called Israel in the Middle East?

Netenyahu is not even his real name, it was changed to sound more Middle Eastern. His real family name is Mileikowsky, lots of the Zionists changed their names in order to attempt to sound like they are from the area they are colonising despite not having a drip of Levantine DNA.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No shit...

Bibi and the rest of Israel's current government main goal is to kill as many non-Jewish people as possible.

If Muslims start killing Muslims, they don't care who wins. They're gonna keep bombing regardless

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

They'll kill any Jewish anti-zionist that stands in their way too

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

Their self-culling is exactly what they're hoping for. Sick fucks.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

they'll be slaughtered

By Israelis and american bombs

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

No, by the IRGC.

[–] TheObviousSolution@thebrainbin.org 9 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Unfortunately that's pretty much the fate of any attempt at revolution nowadays, the gap between how many a soldier can kill versus one civilian can kill is just too high. In the US where people have more rights and were more free to coordinate, it hasn't mattered how much ICE was outnumbered.

[–] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Revolutions typically involve some level of military defection - troops refusing to fire on crowds, turning their guns around, etc. So it isn't impossible. In the case of Iran it basically is though, because people typically don't have revolutions when their country is in a war of national survival againt genocidal nazis.

That's true, but there's several problems with that: the social bubble of the people who serve in those military usually have some distance from the societal norm, violence and chaos makes the country susceptible to be picked off by special interests, and it basically means that at the end of the day their leaders have to be willing to relinquish power.

Successful revolutions don't start with the guns. They start with stoppage. Have all the worker bees go on strike and the railways, ports and airports stop working and see how far a regime lasts

That's another problem, people are not the borg, and they also need to survive. It's part of the reason authoritarian governments tend to play different regions and subcultures against each other.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

oh hey this is exactly what everyone telling statesians to revolt is doing too

[–] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, but Americans have a responsibility to stop their rabid mad dog government before it's too late, while for Iranians it's more like the opposite.

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

before it's too late was like, ten years ago dude

[–] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, but the second best time is now.

More seriously, they were never going to do it 10 years ago. In a different world, maybe they would have done it in 2020. A major economic collapse combined with military humiliation could perhaps make the time right.

you're preaching to the choir, dude

[–] panthera_@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's foolish for Israel to encourage Iranians to revolt knowing that they would be slaughtered. In light of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, Israel should know better. In the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, the Jews had no choice since they would be exterminated anyway but Iranians are not facing the gas chambers.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Israel want s civil war that's all
