That’s literally what they’re saying out loud now:

On being asked by Ahmad Tibi, one of the Arab MPs within the Israeli Knesset last week if it was legitimate “to insert a stick into a person’s rectum”, Hanoch Milwidsky, a member of Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party, responded: “If he is a Nukhba [Hamas militant], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!”

I think they would argue Hamas militants are unlawful combatants (they don’t follow laws of war) and the Geneva convection doesn’t apply.

I find it funny how if you are fighting someone that doesn’t follow the laws of war you can not follow them too but you are not in violation, they are!

Especially with how little damage Hamas has been able to do in comparison to the damage the IDF has caused Palestine for decades. Like, if a child hit an adult, no matter how “unlawful” it was, if the adult drop-kicked them into next week that’d be a huge problem. Now, the only people acting like children are in the Israeli government but you get the idea.

It’s basic fascist logic. Which as the GOP in the US has shown us, you don’t need to be fascist to use. “Our chosen enemy is both cowardly/weak and an existential threat at the same time.”

Eh, they aren’t quite there yet. There are definitely fascists in the party but I think the party as a whole is going to go more authoritarian theocracy. The difference being, if you play their religious game you might just avoid a concentration camp. Whereas in Fascism you are your label and that’s it. A few other big differences but mostly the same for the people on the ground.

This is the biggest hand-wring, semantic gargling I’ve ever seen. What is “authoritarian theology” but making a deity out of the control structure. Nazis used Jesus, too.

They’re facists. The fact they tried over turning the election on J6 with the fake electors proves it completely, they do not point to Jesus, they point to procedure. That’s what a fascist does. Making the Constitution into a religious text is some of the most fascist shit ever, they successfully bind the propaganda structure used to prop up the injustice to an emotional spiritual feeling of righteousness. Its fascism.

Which hilariously is also antisemitic while also accusing them of being Nazis.

Reminds me of 9/11 and the Iraqi war.

The Iraqi war wasn’t related to 9/11 at all. It was about oil and finishing what daddy started.
