Netanyahu’s rant against the ICC quoted a biblical verse that warns against the dangers of not completely wiping out your enemy’s society. It doesn’t take much to figure out what this means for Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

@mondoweiss @palestine @israel This isn't Torah: it is Jabotinsky, one of the early Zionists, who believed rhat the Jews would be continually at war wherever they went. As for the Amaleks, Netanyahu again gets it horribly wrong because no one knows who they were. At any rate, he is a war criminal and wrapping himself in Torah changes nothing.

Signs you are old:
-You dropped acid in a Blockbuster.
-You hid cocaine in your VHS player.
-You bought heroin behind a RadioShack.
-Your grandfather served in WWI (he smoked crack in the trenches).

Staying politically active on the local level is absolutely necessary. Find people with a record of organizing, educating, and moving forward... to a better, brighter future for all creatures on this strange blue planet... and support them... in real time, with real resources...

And that is my sermon for the day...

Feeling inadequate because everyone on Mastodon appears to be a professor or a doctor or a rocket scientist?

Follow me and feel better about yourself, for I have the intellect of a clever potato.

@lowqualityfacts A follow back would be nice but I admire how cleverly you lower the bar...
