    Hey he’s not a terrorist! He’s a war criminal and a genocider. Please.

      He is absolutely a terrorist also. He fits every definition of one.

      Side point but where does this “one-upper” tendency come from? Just let people describe things in terms that make sense to them. This isn’t twitter, there’s no reason to contradict them.

        I would think that genocide is some order of magnitude worse than terrorist (which is obviously very shitty to begin with), so I would like to make it clear that Bibi is somewhere at the top of my personal ranking of shit people.

        But terrorist is fine (if I may say so), too.

          He is responsible for a genocide in Gaza and possibly in the West Bank but also a terrorist in the other countries they are attacking like the pager attacks that killed children and other innocents in collateral damage.

      It is just different levels of specificity really. I found the meme and didn’t think to edit it. I think terrorist would be applicable especially for the pager attack, Doha strike on negotiators, attacks of Iranian scientists, etc. Maybe you should look up the Mossad use of terrorism if you are not aware.

        Was about to bring up the pagers cause that’s literal state sanctioned terrorism any way you look at it. It’s still surprisingly unsurprising that we’re cool with it.

        I was wondering what’s the right word? It’s bizarre, it’s like genocides happen without a cause à la “thousands of people have been taken in a genocide” - oh well these things happen you know, no one to blame 🤷‍♂️

        Hey, at least we didn’t elect the “soft on Israel laughing Camella”!

        Instead we got “raise the place and build a Resort/Casino” Orange fascist to make sure the genocide is done quickly and effectively.

        It’s what we voted for.
