Iran's Revolutionary Guards vowed on Sunday to target ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the war with ‘Israel’ and the United States continues.

"If this child-killing criminal is alive, we will continue to pursue and kill him with full force," said the Guards on their website Sepah News.

Even if your super neutral about this:

Israel killed their head of state, so wouldn’t this be fair game?

[–] tootoughtoremember@lemmy.world 88 points 2 weeks ago

It would literally be a proportionate response.

Most countries have a no assassination policy just for that reason, in fact.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But not the US. I'm not looking up exact numbers but I'm guessing they've killed more country leaders than any other country in the last 50 years? Right now leaders on the top of the board for offing should be: Putin, Netanyahu, Trump. Could probably settle out then and see if the wars all over the world that those 3 are fomenting stop and reassess if any other leaders needed to be added to the list.

Don't forget all the staged coupes to replace, and simple kidnappings of, country leaders. Sure, it's not assassinations but the end goal is the same. Yank the person(s) in charge, dead or alive.

Of course it's fair game

I don't even think many Zionists would be opposed to killing Netanyahu at this point. How are we supposed to find a neutral party? Maybe it's me, since I don't view Zelensky or Netanyahu as the ones calling the shots. The US economic system lacks true redundancies, unlike its political networks.

Israel has also killed its own head of state in the past

Oh great. If democrats weren't on board with trump's war before, now Iran has threatened to kill every centrist's god.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you've misread centrists. They think Netanyahu and Trump are uniquely bad and that things would "go back to normal" without them. I don't think they'd cry about yahu getting what's coming to him.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you’ve misread centrists.

They had all of 2024 to tell their god netanyahu no. They chose not to, even though it meant losing to trump. After everything they caved on in the past 40 years, they stood up for genocide. At the end of an administration that found every bullshit hurdle to throw in its own way to stop itself from fulfilling its campaign promises, they broke the law to sell weapons for genocide. Centrism has no other policy. Just genocide.

Plus, it's a war of choice in the middle east with no exit strategy. If you think democrats won't vote for it, you've been ignoring democrats for decades.

You may have misunderstood me. I know that dems will continue the same murderous US foreign policy we've always had. They do however like to pretend it's different when Trump does it. Honestly, whether they're for or against the exact same foreign policy depends on who's in charge.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

They do however like to pretend it’s different when Trump does it.

And that's all it is. Pretense. They know better.

Honestly, whether they’re for or against the exact same foreign policy depends on who’s in charge.

Centrists maintain a hold on who's in charge, so they're for the same foreign policy.

Don't stop there Iran!

America bombed your school didn't they?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Tbf they bombed data warehouses, and government evidently cares more about that than school shootings.

[–] entropiclyclaude@lemmy.wtf 25 points 2 weeks ago

Except for this shitty AI image - I’m in. Also get congress and the senate and the White House and Mara lago and Newsome while you’re at it.

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

Is there some kind of GoFundMe?

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Frankly, I wish they took a page from the Israelis of the 1960s and kidnapped him to bring him to trial in Tehran. Give him a fair trial and a lawyer. Then hang him.

[–] Astrius@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago

Hopefully they are successful.

Wow. That is one sloppy header image.

I see red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Basically the rainbow flag.

Iran has gone woke. They’re supporting the gays.

I'm convinced he's already dead.

[–] Pat@feddit.nu 8 points 1 week ago

Those "AI Detectors" are horseshit that find the USA Constitution as AI. They're worse than a coin flip.

it will be hard to hit him in germany or wherever he is hiding now

Netanyahu and Trump are hiding inside Nvidia headquarters. I repeat: Netanyahu and Trump are hiding inside Nvidia headquarters
