what the heck are they even talking about? Which 8 wars? And isn't he trying to start a war with Venezuela? This is total BS, afaik.

[–] joekar1990@lemmy.world 169 points 4 days ago (32 children)

He's trying to take credit for:

  1. Israel and Iran
  2. Cambodia and Thailand
  3. India and Pakistan
  4. Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo
  5. Armenia and Azerbaijan
  6. Egypt and Ethiopia
  7. Serbia and Kosovo
  8. Israel and Hamas

While some did have diplomatic breakthroughs some of the fighting hasn’t stopped and some countries said he had nothing to do with it. Granted he will never say anything about the ones that are still fighting.

Israel and Hamas

Sweet Satan, I hate that framing. It's Israel and Palestine. They aren't at war with "Hamas", they're at war with the Palestinian people.

While technically correct, I would still refrain from calling an attempted eradication a war.

Just going to once again plug that Hamas is the name of the publicly elected government of the territories of Palestine, elected in 2006 to help restore order after the third-to-last "war" with Israelis.

It's Israel's framing because

A) They don't believe that Palestine exists

and

B) Nobody likes Hamas, so an Israel v. Hamas war sounds much more positive, even though the vast majority of people being killed have nothing to do with Hamas.
