Macron had said that France could recognise a Palestinian state in June, stating that his country supported the legitimate right of Palestinians to a state and to peace.

To this, Yair lashed out at Macron."Screw you! Yes to independence of New Caledonia! Yes to independence to French Polynesia! Yes to independence of Corsica! Yes to independence of the Basque Country! Yes to independence of French Guinea! Stop the neo imperialism of France in west Africa!" Yair replied.

French Polynesia seems to be happy being French. They have their own money and all the benefits of being French citizens.

Israel is a shame among all Jewish people who feel shame

Netanyahu is a war criminal dictator. He will never leave office or else he will have to face justice for all the murder land theft and genocide.

French Polynesia with one relatively good example, but there are others that are rather bad : New Caledonia/Kanaky, Mayotte are maybe the worse i know of. Not Israel-level bad though, but France is clearly not the absolute clean guy here either.

Yair Netanyahu, who lives in the US

Nice hypocrisy bro. I would expect a good spanking for this idiotic behavior, but I guess it won't happen.

Edit: he seems to be a nice guy:

  • [he] has also published his opinions in Breitbart News
  • posting anti-Muslim content
  • criticizing President Reuven Rivlin for his efforts on behalf of Arab-Israeli coexistence
  • expressed support for right-wing nationalist figures Viktor Orbán
  • launched his own right-wing podcast

Yet another nazi. Nice.

Aww. Little Genocide Jr found an old geography book! Bless him.

Netanyahu and his son are piece os shit people. Benjamin is a war criminal, child killer. Both are biggots and as I said, piece of shit.

Just to be clear, fuck Hamas, fuck Intifada, fuck sharia law, fuck Isreal.

Good argument, but you misspelled Israel as "isreal" haha, I voided your argument /s(because I don't even want strangers to think I'm serious)

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

F**k! I always pronounce "Isreal", I don't know why.

[–] Narann@jlai.lu 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

F*ck grammar!

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 week ago

Just double down and saying fuck English

Notice how those French places are not a total ruin.

[–] Takapapatapaka@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Well some more than other, especially New Caledonia and Mayotte which are experiencing big post-colonialism crisis. It's clearly not the Gaza level though, and by far, but hey, french government also has blood drops on its hands.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's a fair comparison. But when dude is comparing his own genocide to that of others, is he really winning? It just reveals his white supremacist, colonial ideology.

Especially when he's a privileged nazi coward promoting genocide while hiding in Florida.

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago

There isn't any genocide going on those places he pointed, and there hasn't been any for centuries.

Dude is comparing his genocide to history books.

"All of Europe genocided indigenous populations throughout the age of sail! We deserve to do it in the 21st century!"

Why do these people always have inane, yet insufferable sons?

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 11 points 1 week ago

They raise them to be just like them.

Two things can be true at the same time.

[–] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They can vote for their independence. But they haven't done that yet, go figure.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

They can try, but France will make sure to hold the elections when native peoples are unable to attend then say they're never allowed to have a vote again - as they did in New Caledonia.

The rebuttal might be coming from a complete shitheel, but it doesn't make it any less true.

Oh no there’s another one
