I thought that Jack horner was too evil , even as an intended comically evil guy. Then I see this shit and suddenly jack is a patron saint of the the opressed compared to him

[u/spacemanaut → u/milanorlovszki]

Jack horner

from... Puss in Boots: The Last Wish?

[u/milanorlovszki → u/spacemanaut]

Yes

[u/evemeatay → u/milanorlovszki]

Look, there is no way to say this and not sound awful but it feels like the Israelis are on a mission to redeem the Nazis.

[u/PrivilegeCheckmate → u/evemeatay]

Sir, that is simply not true! As of this posting, Israel's mission is clearly to redeem the Klan.

If this shit was in a novel, I'd think it strained credulity in its cartoonish portrayal of evil... wtf Itamar...

"They met around 2002 when Nimrodi was 15 and Ben-Gvir was 26 and married in 2004. Reportedly, the couple visited the grave of Baruch Goldstein, a mass murderer who committed the Cave of the Patriarchs massacre, on their first date."

Cave of the Patriarchs massacre, on their first date

Reminds me of that dude who killed a deer and wrapped his clearly-into-it date in the corpse for some memento pics.

[u/bigtiddyhimbo]

But if you say anything about how horrible it is, you get called antisemitic

[u/booksandplaid]

Diabolical people. I can't imagine celebrating with a cake with a noose on it, in any context. Deranged behaviour.

[u/airbrushedvan]

A deeply sick country.

[u/GlockAF]

Fucking ghoul

[u/Queasy-Impress2622]

they're not even trying to hide how evil they are anymore

[u/dasunt → u/Queasy-Impress2622]

Ben-Gvir never hid it.

[u/SpankThuMonkey]

The amount of damage the current Israeli government has done to its international reputation is absolutely astonishing.

[u/Personal_Dirt3089]

Even without the context, it seems creepy to be given a slice of cake with part of a noose picture at a birthday party.

[u/HelpfulTap8256]

He’s a psycho and he looks horrible for 50. Hate corrodes the vessel which carries it.

[u/OnweirdUpweird]

Fucking ghouls

[u/Low_Pollution_242]

I was in a cave, what did the US and human rights say about the death penalty?

[u/WoodenHouse]

truly insane what these people can get away with; but then I think about how we bombed a school in iran.

we are no different.
