Israel isn’t very random, much more cold and calculated. Not very satire-like.
That’s not what the purpose of this community though. The purpose is to have headlines that can pass as a satirical one from The Onion at first glance. To me this fits the definition.
If you say so. To me that requires an expectation that this would be unusual, something that would catch the eye as notable, instead of just being perfectly in-line with the norms of the time.
Don’t normalize this kind of behavior and accept it. You’re just asking to be gaslit and enables them to be more bold in their next statements. It’s not a coincidence this statement came out just as Israel launches the deadliest attack on Lebanon in 15 years and telling the inhabitants to move out or face death. Ridicule and shame them for every outlandish statement they preach. Every. Single. One.
I don’t really do the shame thing, it doesn’t work whatsoever on the shameless, which is a very high percentage of the global population unfortunately.
Regardless, the question is not whether we’re normalizing it, but whether it is their pattern of behavior or not. Not that it’s acceptable, but that it’s predictable. Just because they don’t act how other people act doesn’t mean everything they say seems like satire. Imo at least.
tbf, Trump says a lot more random, off-the-wall shit than Israel does. Israel isn’t very random, much more cold and calculated. Not very satire-like.
