    First observation: this is unironically the most wildly antisemitic anecdote of the last few presidents AFAIK

    Second observation: it’s pretty funny to see it clearly spelled out that the US is the one holding the leash.

      I’m a Jew (at least I was raised jewish, had a bneimitzvah, yadyada, who the fuck knows about my spirituality/lackthereof now) and it’s not immediately clear to me why it’s antisemitic to force a head of state break sabbath. It’s been more than a decade since I read a translation, but does the Torah not explicitly permit breaking the sabbath in times of emergency or is that a talmudic or more modern opinion?

      Am I missing a blind spot (in my own perspective) here?

          It’s a lot more disrespectful to Muslims to let this genocide go on unabated for one afternoon more. Smol bean Bibi doesn’t get to use his religion to justify letting the IOF continue doing genocide on the Sabbath, which surely continues firing missiles by computer automation without making any Israeli Jew denigrate themselves by personally pressing a button on the Sabbath.

          You can’t convince me that an Israeli settler wouldn’t lift a finger to save their own house from burning down on the Sabbath.
