Benjamin Netanyahu’s 34-year-old son Yair has been living in Miami while Israeli soldiers mobilize, sparking outrage among troops and security warnings from experts

    • Barbarisms by Barbaras

      With pointed heels

      Victorious Victorias kneel

      For brand new spanking deals

      Marching forward, hypocritic

      And hypnotic computers

      You depend on our protection

      Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

      Crazy how much the lyrics written for shit happening under W fit better with what’s going on now.

        Yeah, and especially for how popular it was back then it can be haunting to listen to old hits from bands like SOAD and RATM.

      To be fair, Israel is the country which could be critiqued the least under this aspect. Netanyahu did fight in the military in a variety of conflicts and his brother was killed while fighting. I guess the son did not learn their trade

        Absolutely. I’ve probably listened to Prison Song this past year more than any other track of theirs.

        They’re trying to build a prison 
        They’re trying to build a prison 
        They’re trying to build a prison for you and meeee

      He’s the son of a Politician. They mature around 60 and reach that peak predator energy around 80.

    It’s funny how this reads as: look over here, look how vulnerable he is. I certainly hope something doesn’t happen to him. Right. HERE.

    I heard while he was in Miami he created a pretty big mess for his dad when he stole a retired assassin’s car and killed his dog.

    I see a lot of people wishing harm on the guy. Do you guys even know anything about him? Because it seems you are all wishing him the worse just because of who his dad is. Shouldn’t need saying that that is extremely fucked up.

      i think it is frustration at the merciless and targeted killing of children during Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Israel really went whole hog on killing kids and i will probably have nightmares of seeing those little souls gunned down or blown to bits intentionally by Israel

      It’s nice to see these remarks every now and then, really throws humanity back into us amidst our anger. Sometimes I think world leaders could use a bit of that lol

      For all I bet most of us know, he could be a big POS, but he could also be someone normal who just happens to be son of a world leader. I just don’t forecast getting worked up over the political life of a no-name son is quite the healthiest approach.

      yep. guilt by association is toxic mentality… and yet people on here LOVE IT. They don’t care about ‘justice’ they care about punishing who they perceive to be guilty of not being ‘good’.

      I bet half of the think their parents are racist, and by their logic they are also racist by association. The rules they apply to others, don’t apply to themselves. THEY ARE THE EXCEPTION.

      I’ve had weirdos tell me that I’m a Nazi because I did a project on Nazis in 10th grade and clearly if I did academic work on Nazism, I am clearly a secret Nazi. I also read The Origins of Totalitarianism in college, clearly FURTHER EVIDENCE of my guilt.

    Surprise! Surprise! The elite class who start wars and sent ordinary people to their deaths at the battlefront are draft dodgers!

    I dream of a world where whenever these ‘leaders’ and rulers declare a war, ordinary people on both sides drag them out of their castles, tie them up and throw them in an arena along with sticks, stones, knives and maces. The people can take positions along the gallery of the arena and cheer their leaders on, as the latter fight each other to their deaths. And if they refuse to do so, we can send along some wild lions and elephants for motivation.

        They’re are quick and messy. And someone has to do it. This is way more entertaining and the problem takes care of itself.

          This isn’t and shouldn’t be about entertainment. This should be about equality and fear.

          That and you bet your ass, if someone rolls one in, there will be a crowd with waaaaaay too many people willing to pull the cord.

          People are currently not eating. People are being bombed. People are freezing to death.

          It’s not enough

            This isn’t and shouldn’t be about entertainment. This should be about equality and fear.

            You’re dead serious. I’m joking. It’s not that I take the situation lightly, but it’s a blessing to behave so lightly in such a situation.

            That and you bet your ass, if someone rolls one in, there will be a crowd with waaaaaay too many people willing to pull the cord.

            No need for bets. I’m sure that’s what will happen. The elites know it too and they’re building secret bunkers to escape it. Currently they are stretching the divide and rule tactic as far as it can, by getting the ordinary men and women to fight each other. But they know that it won’t work forever.

            However, I must warn you. The results won’t be as clean and just as you imagine it to be. Angry people yearn for vengeance, not justice. It won’t stop until a lot of innocent blood is also spilt. That’s what happened in the French Revolution too.

            People are currently not eating. People are being bombed. People are freezing to death. It’s not enough

            The same people won’t seek other solutions until a tragedy is inevitable. Whenever I speak a solution that can recover our economy before it goes south, the same ordinary people scoff at me saying it’s wishful thinking, ignoring the fact that it has been implemented successfully several times in the past as a measure of resistance.

        Ropes are cheaper yet and work just fine. And they don’t deserve better than the short drop.
