[cont’d] Quoting Noa Limona on Netanyahu’s gaslighting of the Israeli public:

#Israel's "poison machine" has expanded from domestic gaslighting to foreign policy distortion. #Netanyahu Jr's attack on #Macron exposes a calculated system that labels democratic leaders supporting Palestinian rights as "enemies" while embracing far-right populists worldwide. This propaganda mechanism has successfully conditioned even opposition voices to fear being labeled "leftist" (now synonymous with "traitor"). The result? A warped reality where human rights advocacy equals betrayal, empathy equals #antisemitism, and "peace" has become taboo. The antidote requires rejecting this entire toxic framework, not just its symptoms.

[…] Netanyahu Jr.'s statement was what the linguistic philosopher John Austin called a "speech act," not a statement that can be said to be true or false but an expression that constitutes an action in the world. In this case, the act constituted labeling Macron – a leader of a democratic country who expressed his recognition of a Palestinian state – as an enemy.

[…] The antidote to poison cannot be based on accepting the toxic machinery and only partially rejecting its symptoms. Our obligation is to oppose the entire propaganda apparatus that has dulled our senses, clouded our simple reasoning, and eroded the ethical criteria that should guide us.

Wanted international war criminal #Netanyahu’s son, a proxy for his father on social media and head of the #poisonmachine, currently in exile in Miami dodging a draft to his father’s genocide in Gaza (for all the wrong reasons).

I wonder what is it about #France’s #Macron decision to officially recognize a Palestinian state that makes Netanyahu so worried and his poison machine shift gears.

"The Poison Machine" (מכונת הרעל) is a network spreading pro-#Netanyahu propaganda through bots and fake accounts, which undermines democratic institutions by distributing disinformation, conspiracy theories, and targeted attacks against Israeli media, security establishments, courts, and political opponents. Its goals include deepening political division, maintaining right-wing support, and securing Netanyahu's continued leadership.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood. My friend's grandparents had numbers tattooed on their forearms

I know the difference btw antisemitism & antiZionism

I will never *never* forgive #Netanyahu for sucking up to #Trump to get my tax 💰 for his #Genocide

Sitting beside that #Fascist troll smiling while he asked whether Hamas was as "loving" to prisoners as German #Nazis 😣🤬

"“The continuation of the war doesn’t advance any of the declared goals of the war, and will bring about the deaths of the hostages, IDF (army) soldiers and innocent civilians,” reads a letter published by the reservists in Israeli media"
Netanyahu: "The signatories “are a group of fringe extremists who are trying once again to break Israeli society from within”,"
According to the Israeli media, the active reservists have been sacked

trt.globalTRT Global - Netanyahu furious as Israeli Air Force's 1,000 reservists demand end to Gaza warAir Force reservists say the Gaza war is going on for "political and personal interests". The Israeli prime minister calls them "a group of fringe extremists".

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the United States on April 7 for the second time since President Donald Trump took office.

As Americans look at the Middle East, fewer say the Israel-Hamas war is important to them personally – or important to U.S. national interests – than felt that way early last year, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

In addition, the public’s views of Israel have turned more negative over the past three years. More than half of U.S. adults (53%) now express an unfavorable opinion of Israel, up from 42% in March 2022 – before the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023, and the ensuing Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. (Pew Research Center regularly asks about attitudes toward countries like Russia, the U.S., China and others. Refer to the “How we did this” box for more details.)

Americans’ confidence in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also remains relatively low (32%), according to the new survey. The survey was conducted March 24-30 – just before Netanyahu’s most recent visit – among a nationally representative sample of 3,605 U.S. adults."
