oatmeal<p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> / Netanyahu calls himself Churchill. history may recall him as Milošević</p><p>Netanyahu, often compared to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Churchill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Churchill</span></a> by his supporters, bears a striking resemblance to Slobodan <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Milo%C5%A1evi%C4%87" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Milošević</span></a>. Like Milošević, Netanyahu (who’s original family name is Mileikowsky) initially distanced himself from far-right nationalists but later allied with them to maintain power. Both leaders suppressed dissent, controlled the narrative through media manipulation, and deflected blame onto scapegoats. </p><p>While Netanyahu's supporters highlight his speeches and military actions, the article argues that his trajectory—marked by an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICC</span></a> arrest warrant for war crimes and a disregard for democratic norms—mirrors Milošević's authoritarianism and ultimately jeopardizes Israeli society. The author suggests that the ICC warrant, while not a guaranteed solution, provides the necessary moral and political impetus for Israelis to challenge Netanyahu's leadership.</p><p>Hebrew <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-12-25/ty-article-magazine/.premium/netanyahu-calls-himself-churchill-history-may-recall-him-as-milosevic/00000193-f321-dc18-a3db-ffe364670000" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-1</span><span class="invisible">2-25/ty-article-magazine/.premium/netanyahu-calls-himself-churchill-history-may-recall-him-as-milosevic/00000193-f321-dc18-a3db-ffe364670000</span></a> or <a href="https://archive.is/loXYC" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.is/loXYC</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>… I’m not sure Churchill is a compliment <br> either, talking about (white)supremacist assholes</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelOccupation</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelWarCrimes</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarCrimes</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Apartheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apartheid</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a></p><p>* Edit: typo</p>
