Both countries didn’t join the ICC. There are obvious reasons for that - They know about being guilty. Keep in mind that the US is going after Assange not because he published some arbitrary “secrets” - he published evidence of American war crimes that the US army wanted to hush up.
I think, arrest warrants for Netanyahu and quite a number of people in the IDF are simply appropriate. The ICC is no political cangaroo court, and it would not charge or convict someone without evidence. Especially not a prominent figure.
To clarify: the point I’m making is that I did an absolutely trivial, cursory accuracy check on one of the central points of the timeline of the article, and it was immediately and obviously discernible as false.
And yeah, the Israeli government these days is comically hypersensitive to stuff like this, i agree. I just have made a habit of checking easily verifiable facts like this, and trying to point out where I observe discrepancies. Sometimes it’s nothing; sometimes it’s something, but not really a related issue. Sometimes it’s highly pertinent. Regardless, I think it’s a good thing to point out, simply in the interest of showing others how easy it is to increase your media literacy and detect hinky propaganda-leaning ”journalism” that seems to be getting a lot more common these days across the political spectrum. (Addendum) And sometimes I am not as careful as I should be and I point out something entirely unrelated :D
No he’s not homophobic, he believes consenting adults should do whatever the fuck they want in bed. I think he’s our first president to explicitly say that with no fear of upseting “too conservative” voters.
And you may not like his political stances or not believe his plan to solve argentina’s problems would work, we do, that’s why we voted him.
He apparently respects any type of consensual sex, hyperbolically including sex with an elephant. I do not know how to feel about the fact that he’s okay with zoophilia (which is rape). It’s also very dehumanizing to compare people’s sexual orientations to having sex with animals.
“¿Qué me importa a mí cuál es tu elección sexual? Suponete que vos querés estar con un elefante, si tenés el consentimiento del elefante problema tuyo y del elefante”
In reference to public funding for gender-affirming care and public education, he said: “I have no problem, but don’t impose it on me by the state. Don’t steal money from people to impose someone else’s ideas on them. That is violent.”
On the topic of transgender rights, Milei has stated that he “does not care” about gender identification “as long as you do not make me pay the bill”, and compared it to identifying as a cougar.
Again, it’s a very dehumanizing position towards trans people.
He also doesn’t seem to be an LGBT ally even though people classify him as “socially progressive” (lol). He’s at most tolerant of our existence, but he doesn’t seem to be the guy that would do anything to protect the LGBT community if it ever came to protecting them. And the fact that he’s against state funded gender affirming care, which is life saving to trans people, is quite sad to me. But whatever, you guys do you. I’m not so sure turbocapitalism on steroids will save you. I personally dislike this guy’s half assed positions and think he will turn on you the moment he “needs to respect the decision of the people”.
Isn’t he also trying to push an abortion ban right now?
The bill, presented on Monday, calls for the repeal of the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy Law and for abortion to be criminalized for both the woman and those who participate in the procedure.
Sucks to be a woman down there I guess. But whatever, they’ll be martyred for “the good of the economy” and Milei’s “plan to save Argentina”.
Also good for you that you voted for him? You don’t have to be so defensive, I never attacked your “beliefs”

He’s not ok with zoophilia, you literally just said that’s an hyperbole, a mere reductio ad absurdum to say “as long as all parties consent, do whatever” this example talks about a consenting elephant, such creature does not exist in the real world and was created for the sake of the hyperbole.
Again, it’s a very dehumanizing position towards trans people.
Nope, he’s just saying “do whatever you want with your gender, the goverment will not interfere”. We have 40% poverty, gender affirming care is a privilege we can’t afford right now(he doubled funding social welfare peograms because he believes that’s the priority)
He’s at most tolerant of our existence, but he doesn’t seem to be the guy that would do anything to protect the LGBT community
Tolerance is all we need, and it’d still be illegal to harm us just like it’s illegal to harm anyone else.
I’m not so sure turbocapitalism on steroids will save you.
We’re sure enough to vote him, we’ll see.
I personally dislike this guy’s half assed positions and think he will turn on you the moment he “needs to respect the decision of the people”.
We trust him enough to vote him, we’ll see.

Yeah we know he’ll try to ban abortion, he’ve been saying “I’ll call a referendum on the abortion laws” his whole campaign, that’s yet another reason why we(men and women) voted for him.
Also good for you that you voted for him? You don’t have to be so defensive, I never attacked your “beliefs”
Nay don’t worry about it, we’re good, i don’t expect a foreign to be 100% in touch with my country’s problems, politics and culture. Also sorry bout bad english
Yeah we know he’ll try to ban abortion, he’ve been saying “I’ll call a referendum on the abortion laws” his whole campaign, that’s yet another reason why we(men and women) voted for him.
Then why is he trying to force a bill now instead of calling a referendum?
He can’t “force a bill”, the congress needs to approve it. A referendum/plebiscite would be an alternative route in case the congress does not approve(which is almost a guaranteed)
Edit: apparently the bill you’re talking about was not made by him but by legislators of his party WITHOUT EVEN ASKING, there’s already conspiracy theories about this not being a “just fuck-up” but an intentional attempt to harm his image.
Except getting an abortion. He’s trying to criminalize that. That apparently no longer falls under the “do whatever the fuck you want” ideology you parade here.
The bill, presented on Monday, calls for the repeal of the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy Law and for abortion to be criminalized for both the woman and those who participate in the procedure.
It’s do whatever you want unless you harm someone else, and he believes killing a mf is “harming someone else”. Don’t worry, we knew that from even before he was a candidate and is what we voted for.
He’s doing what he said in his campaign, that’s the opposite of sad if you ask me.
And again: he can’t ban it without asking the people first(indirectly through legistators or directly through a referendum), he won’t ban it against our will.
You keep beating around the bush. Just tell me, in your view, do you think that banning abortion is something positive for your country? You don’t need to paint it all with this “democracy” brush. Hitler was also democratically elected. Just because something is democratically elected doesn’t mean it’s good.
My opinion on banning abortion in my country? Not now, they should focus on the economy and redirecting funds to social welfare first. 2/3 children not having a meal everyday is just of higher priority.
You can’t have an opinion on it right now? Or you think it’s not something positive for your country right now? What about in the future? Do you think it’s a good idea to outright ban abortion in the future then?
I have an opinion and it is: Not now, solve the whole “2/3 of children don’t eat while the goverment is paying millionaires to make movies” problem first, then we can discuss abortion.
Well, sucks to be you, because Milei seems to want to do it now, and won’t call a referendum on it.
I wonder how long it will take for the leopards to start eating people’s faces. (Well, they kinda did with women, but who cares about women having access to abortion, right?)
Not really, that bill was made by the legislator Rocío Bonacci(a woman? how can that be!) without asking Milei, and there’s like 0.01% chance its gets approved so there’s no need to worry.
They won’t, these leopards only eat rats. And they’re not messing with women, once again: we (men and women) voted for this.
A woman trying to ban abortion access to all other women doesn’t justify shit.
Don’t like abortions? Don’t have one.
“We voted for it” doesn’t justify shit either. The germans voted for the nazis too. Democratically. Did that justify anything? What kind of take is that?
The leopards eat faces. As we have seen many times before. Good luck to you and your people, you’ll need it.
You’re saying this as someone who likes abortion, I’ll remind you that anti-abortion people don’t just “not like it” but actually believe it’s equivalent to murdering a person. You would’t say “don’t like theft? Just don’t steal!” to push a bill to decriminalize theft, would you?
Our culture doesn’t appreciates abortion the same way yours do, that’s ok and we’ll not push your country to ban abortion.
And I may be wrong, argentina may be more pro-abortion than I think, we’ll see once/if a referendum happens.
Hamas has been propped up by Israel to create this conflict. Take a look at the proximity of wars with America and its allies to oil deposits in the last 50 years.
Gaza has oil. At this point it’s so fucking obvious what this is actually about and it’s fucking disgusting.
Netanyahu was trying to play Hamas against the PA to divide and conquer and it blew up in his face.
That's quite the conspiracy theory. So Oct 7 was what, just a coincidence, planned by Israel, or something equally absurd?
I don’t care about any of that. We could play Israel did this vs Hamas did that all day. It’s all smoke and mirrors to complicate a situation, making us argue so we’re blind to the simple truth of what it’s all about. Oil.
Why won’t America help the Palestinians? Because Israel will get them access to that oil. It’s not that complicated.
I hate Assad but this title is not accurate. He is just doing the classic “disputing the 6 million Jews” number and secondly whataboutisming the amount of Russians killed by the Nazi’s that are never mentioned but are far greater
He did not deny the entire holocaust.
I do agree with his second point a bit but the first one is just stupid.
