Israel Threatens 'Severe Consequences' for Nations Who Recognize Palestine
Israel Threatens 'Severe Consequences' for Nations Who Recognize Palestine | Common Dreams
Nations who recognise Palestine:
I miss this kind of confidence I got from cocaine
Wait! Vatican recognized Palestine?!?
Either way if what Spain said is true and Europe becomes green as well, it would be pretty much US, Australia and Israel to not recognize Palestine
Obligatory note for all the "Christians should support Israel" crowd. The Israeli minister of Security said, that Christians should be spit on. When Christians want to pray for Easter in the Church of the holy sepulcher, Israeli security forces are also harassing and attacking them. Israel is not only an ethnostate, it is also founded on religious and race supremacy, where white european/american Jews are on the top of the hierarchy and anyone else will face discrimination.
The UK too. We love to be on the wrong side of history.
And Canada. We love following the US into its mistakes.
Unlikely. Germany most likely is not going to recognice Palestine for a long time.
Canada does the glance_away.jpg
Have you tried having the worlds only super power ready to liberate the everlasting shit out of anyone who upsets you?
*Super power in electing dumb tv stars as their leader
the worlds only super power
Is the US even really worth that term anymore? Seems like we've lost quite a bit of gas since the 90s.
Lol spineless whores, just throw a dollar on the ground and whichever shit heel running that superpower will be on their knees chasing it.
Fuck the genocide backing yanks.
So pissed off at my government for deliberately making us the only Scandinavian country not to 🤬
Cries in US
Fuck this country...
I don't like Israel
Wow I found hamas guys
ZOMG ANTISEMITISM
... /s, obviously.
Jerry! Jerry!!
Maybe we should sanction them.
Yeah. Probably.
“Sorry best we can do is more bombs, officially define antisemitism as calling these guys assholes, and, uh, oh yeah, giving their military benefits packages!”
I'm starting to think it's antisemitic to link the Jewish and Israel
It definitely is. There's few things more antisemitic than assuming that all Jews approve of the fascist government of an apartheid ethnostate committing genocide with impunity.
It's right up there with the Alex Jones "globalist" conspiracy theories.
I am Jewish and yes, it is antisemitic to consider all Jews as Israelis. I do not support Israel, I have no affiliation with Israel, I have no interest in going to Israel apart from the archaeology. I'm from Indiana and I have a hell of a lot more in common with a Christian from Fort Wayne than an Israeli from Haifa.
Also, I know this is totally anecdotal, but every Israeli I have met in my life has been an asshole, which doesn't exactly endear me to their country.
Netanyahu is the one who benefits most from people thinking all Jews are Israeli. I sure as hell haven't benefited from it considering how many times I've had to justify myself just for who my ancestors were.
It is deliberate. Zionists love antisemitism. They love it when Jews are attacked outside Israel so they can claim to be the only safe place for them in the world. They love to use antisemitism to attack Jews, who do not want to be associated with Israel or are even critical of Israels practices or worst "questioning their "right to existence"".
I dunno. It definitely will incentivize “otherising” of the Jewish diaspora. Which may be a tertiary objective of it. And it will definitely lead to increased conflict.
Which is a shame because most the Jews I know well enough to talk to about it, are extremely anti-genocide, and they’re vocal about it because… they know “I’m Jewish, [awkward stare]” is a great way to not get dinged for politics at work. (At least when the political topic is Gaza.)
Oh, have no doubt about that.
And it's pretty straightforwardly so: for example claiming that somebody demonstrating against the killing of children by Israel is an anti-semite is implying that killing children is a Jewish thing to do, which is incredibly close to the "Jews eat babies" kind of propaganda from the Nazis: even the worst actual antisemites in the present day weren't going around claiming that murdering children is a Jewish thing to do.
That's just how out of control the Israeli ultra-violent and extremelly racist Fascists and their racist Fascist supporters in places like the US are.
But oil
Russia threatened "severe consequences" for sanctions and supporting Ukraine.
Israel is not doing itself any favours threatening other countries.
I wish the US would send as many weapons to Israel as it sends to Russia
I'm a bit surprised Russia is even on the "Supports Palestine" list, given that they've been increasingly hostile towards Arab people and cozy towards Israel.
Any retaliation towards Ireland would be antihibernic
The word you’re looking for is nationalism. It’s the same word Netanyahu should be using to defend criticism of his nation, rather than antisemitism.
Antisemitism is a form of racism and/or religious persecution that has affected Jews around the world for over two millennia, the majority of whom are unaffiliated with the Zionist state of Israel. It would be cool if you stopped making fun of it. I’d ask Netanyahu too, but I don’t see him on Lemmy.

I don't think they're making fun of antisemitism itself. People can refuse to indulge the spurious accusations of antisemitism Israel's right-wing throws out in knee-jerk fashion every time it is criticized, and still take antisemitism seriously as a real and dangerous phenomenon with a long history. I understood the comment above yours as making fun of the former, not the latter.
That horse bolted decades ago; the term is lost.
Just call it racism and be done. We don't need specific terms for different demographics.
Antisemitism is now a meaningless term. Good luck reclaiming it.
Israel threatens 3/4 of the world. Lmao.
I stand by what I've come to the conclusion on over the last little while. The underlying problem is the Jewish diaspora has not healed from the historical persecution they face. That is quite frankly everyone's problem. What they're doing is 100% wrong but when taken in the context of "hurt people hurt people" it makes sense. I don't know the path forward, but I do know it's not going to happen without some very brave leaders in the Jewish community to step up and call it like it is.
Ive also been mulling the idea that Palestinians needs to charter their own Truth & Reconciliation to lay it all out in the open.
In terms of sheer military might, the size of Israel's military is very substantial compared to the listed countries. Other countries would likely come to their defense if it happened, but if it came to a fight between Israel and just Norway/Ireland/Spain, it would be very hard to call Israel a small dog. Spain might be a bit of a challenge but Norway and Ireland would likely barely even register.
Obviously, all those countries have friends and are probably pretty safe because of that, but also not entirely idle threats.
Sounds familiar, where I have heard this one before? 🤔
I know what you mean, but I'm just short of remembering it. Oh well I'm sure some German person could help us, they're great at remembering this stuff.
So their punishment to other countries for recognising Palestine is to intensify their Palestinian genocide?
How can anyone see this and not realise that this whole thing was never about Hamas, they were just an excuse to finally get the ball rolling.
They get paid very well not to see that, or in the case of Germany get paid very well and used support for Israel as a smokescreen to deflect from the antisemitism they rightfully fear to be accused of. Israel is helping German Antisemites to push the blame on "immigrants" while Ethnically German Nazis get to attack Synagogues and have it downplayed. Zionists and Antisemites are allies.
So Israel is just being a pariah of the world as usual. Nothing new.
As of now Slovenia, Spain, Norway, Ireland, Malta, Trinidad and Tobago have announced they will soon start recognizing the state of Palestine. That brings the number of countries that recognize the state of Palestine to around 150 countries out of 193 countries in the UN.
Not only that but around four fifths of the world population lives in these countries. So an overwhelming majority both in the UN and on a population scale recognize them.
With that being said, let's go Israel. Be more of a pariah than you already are. Close yourself off from all these countries. Shoot yourself in the foot.
Fuck israel.
What's he gonna do, start a genocide in Spain? Start setting up settlements in Ireland? Get fucked bibi.
So they are going with North Korea theory of foreign of relations. That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.
It's crazy to think that we can now include Israel in a short list alongside North Korea and China.
Hey Israel, China called. They want their “angry threats because someone recognized Taiwan” mode back.
Palestine has a right to exist.
Israel's foreign minister Israel Katz said in a public statement that the move to recognize Palestine was a "distorted step" by the countries
Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also condemned the move Wednesday and said the response from Israel would be to intensify its operations in Gaza—where the ICC chief prosecutor this week alleged war crimes by Israeli forces have taken place—even further. In his remarks, Ben-Gvir called for a "root treatment" for the city of Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of civilians have fled but many still remain with nowhere go.
That old right-wing refrain: "Look what you made me do!"

(Do it even harder.jpg)
Basically this
Edit: un-embedded the image cause it was tacky
As an aside, an ethnostate's foreign minister's first name being the name of the country is too on the nose for most farcical fiction, let alone reality 🤦
What are they gonna do? Set up "settlements" in Ireland and Spain?
Maybe they no longer export products made in illegal settlements to those "offending" countries?
I recognise Palestine.. wish my country would too :(
"Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also condemned the move Wednesday and said **the response from Israel would be to intensify its operations in Gaza." **
That's right! We're gonna genocide harder! That'll show em whose right!
The amount of sheer sense of entitlement is just mind boggling.
Did you mean "sheer"?
Fixed, thx.
Can they just shut the fuck up already and end their war? They're just firing wildly and killing Palestinian civilians, hostage Israeli civilians, and even themselves! Occasionally they're getting a member of Hamas.
Just fucking throw in the towel and take the L. Part of me this at this point that Netanyahu is partially prolonging the war because he wants Democrats to be divided and Trump to win so he has an even friendlier US.
Why do the good die young, and the evil live forever?
They're just firing wildly and killing Palestinian civilians, hostage Israeli civilians, and even themselves!
It might almost be better if it was just them wildly shooting into the crowd. They're actually targeting civilians, medical and food aid workers, journalists covering the genocide, etc. It's intentional.
*Edit: typo
Part of me this at this point that Netanyahu is partially prolonging the war because he wants Democrats to be divided and Trump to win so he has an even friendlier US.
That also seems to be part of Putin's plan.
"Why yes, we have every intention of starting and starring in World War 3 featuring the USA as our fellow baddies, thanks for asking!"
The very moment the U.S. outright enters war on behalf of Israel, is the moment a real insurrection should occur in D.C.
I agree, but unfortunately believe if anyone takes up arms on the side of Palestine, we're going to drop troops the next day.
lol.. Israel is going to end up getting disowned by the majority of the international community. As per usual, all by their own doing.
It used to be, "Who has the biggest penis?"
Now it's, "Who's the biggest cunt?"
To quote an ancient Australian theorem...
"What's bigger than Moby's Dick?
Jana's Vent."
Israel’s final warning
"China's final warning" is a Russian ironic idiom originating from the Soviet Union that refers to a warning that carries no real consequences.
Gee, I sure hope Israel doesn't start launching nukes.
Theyre not nearly big enough to be talking trash
They may do some assassinations
I love this. "Israel invades Norway" would be such a great news story to follow.
Like killing babies?
Are those the same severe consequences that Putin keeps talking about if the Ukrainians keep fighting back?
Punish me. Palestine is real as fuck.
Nations should put Israel in it's place
They did; in 1948.
Good luck, lol.
Does Bibi actually think he can go toe-to-toe militarily if he dares to step out from behind the protection of his iron dome?
Sounding more and more like Rusia
Israel can't kill everyone before they get wiped out.
The Samson Option?
We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: 'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.' I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.
Or maybe you prefer:
What would serve the Jew-hating world better in repayment for thousands of years of massacres but a Nuclear Winter. Or invite all those tut-tutting European statesmen and peace activists to join us in the ovens? For the first time in history, a people facing extermination while the world either cackles or looks away—unlike the Armenians, Tibetans, World War II European Jews or Rwandans—have the power to destroy the world. The ultimate justice?
Well shit looks like they made themselves model candidates for the Render Safe mission. B21 stealth bombers and Delta Force, for when you need those nukes "secured" overnight.
Yeah, I know about all that. It's a bullshit-ass plan cause that few devices aren't enough to destroy the world. Israel then dies and life goes on.
Israel and Palestine have been fighting for a long time, since before you were born probably. I'm not on either side but I don't see either side getting wiped out anytime soon.
The Palestinians are being pushed out or killed. Call it what you will. This isn't a political issue. It's seen by most of the world as unacceptable on a human level. There's no coming back as a viable State for Israel. Gonna be a nasty mess unfortunately.
So much for the 2 state solution.
Bring it on lol
Israel: SPAIN! WE WILL FORBID YOU FROM GRANTING EMBASSY SERVICES TO THE REMAINING PALESTINIANS IN THE WEST BANK!
Spain: Erhm, ok ... Doesn't that affect Palestinians more than our-?
Israel: SILENCE! WE HAVE SPOKEN!
Totally not an apartheid state.
And they will sue you if you don't buy their products.
cute.
Those nations should pass resolutions forbidding Israel from setting up settlements within their border and cutting off water to their populations. Completely useless resolutions, but it would put a fine point on it.
No more Sabra Hummus for you, Ireland!
So Israel went from "We're just defending ourselves from Palestine" to "Actually, Palestine never existed, that's a Neo Nazi myth!" huh?
Fuck off. That was the deal you signed up for.
Apparently Ireland's economy is bigger than Israel's;
and Spain is over 4x the size of Israel's.

Tax havens have distorted GDPs
True, but I wonder if the PCI of the 90% of Irish who are among the 95% richest and 95% poorest in Ireland is greater than 90% of those those in Israel proper who are among the 95% richest and 95% poorest in Israel proper.
They're going to tell Jesus and then who's gonna be laughing!
Tonight I'm getting chocolate cookies and putting them in the fireplace on the mantle. I'm gonna catch a fat bastard in red.
Fallout 5 en espanol.
Told y'all we should have made a lake Israel and lake Palestine. We could be skiing rn fr fr
Nukes are for stopping hurricanes though
YES
They'll retract Sacha Baron Cohen's citizenship, and leave The West saddled with him, his shitty movies, and the irreparable wreck of his once brilliant career
Wtf, what did he do? I quite enjoyed his movies. I know he is literally Skeletor but that's just in a movie.
Not sure about the commenter above, but his latest Borat movie did piss off a bunch of rednecks.
He's British though?
They're gonna ask Sunak to send him to Rwanda? 🤷
Canada did that with Bryan Adams, Justin Bieber and Celine Dion.
Exactly why we must now take Israel's threat to revoke SBC's citizenship seriously
I'm not a fan of his broad style of comedy, but a huge number of people love his TV shows and movies, he's made a lot of people laugh, and he made Rudy Giuliani look like a pedo. I really don't have an issue with the dude.
Da Ali G Show was brilliant. The rest of his solo work has been shit
This is unhinged, wanting to punish the PA for other countries recognizing Palestine.
They were gonna do that anyway; they're just seizing upon what Norway/Ireland/Spain did as a fig leaf of an excuse.
"Look what you made us do!"
How could Switzerland do this!?
What did you expect from genocidal maniacs?
Nazis will nazi.
Its terrorism.
It's a very, "your move, Europe," kind of thing.
"We can make it worse."
