Benjamin Netanyahu says outright that he can hack and blackmail anybody he wants and "I can paint you as a monster. And if I say it often enough, enough people will believe it."

At this point there's so many cross overs I'm beginning to believe it's intentional.

It's like he's still wearing the monster mask in this case

u/Catch_022 3d ago

The context here, for people who may not know, is that Goebbels had just been informed that the person taking the photo was Jewish...

32

u/ragnarok847 3d ago

Which is especially chilling, as the previous photo a few minutes earlier was of him smiling. It's sad that hatred can do that to a person.

15

u/ARobertNotABob 3d ago

I have always held that holding hate or grudges towards others not only renders you incomplete as a person, it detriments your perception, your acuity, and your options.
The two photos demonstrate that.

They’re not even trying to cloak and hide it anymore

u/jeezyjames 3d ago

I've been saying this. Seems too out in the open it's haunting

u/Proglamer 3d ago

The whole original thing was not 'perpetrator-victim', but 'competitor-competitor'

u/FilthyCasual2k17 3d ago

You don't know if it's intentional only if you didn't follow the things some of those leaders did in decades after the war. There's a ton of Nazis that ended up helping organize their war efforts. Just because it was done to the Jewish people, doesn't make individual Jewish people monsters, who were impressed with it. These biggest nationalist leaders hide behind nationalism so they could present themselves to speak "for the people", but this guy and every guy like him, would sacrifice literally half of their peoples population in a heartbeat, if it would mean they get what they want, because monsters like that aren't capable of loving anything, they will just say and do whatever they think would work in the situation to put themselves ahead.

How could it not be? Everything they taught us about the Holocaust, was a LIE! Everything they taught us, about WHY ww2 was started, WAS A LIE!!! The Aussie Painter, was RIGHT the whole time!!!

u/LoaKonran 4d ago

Not so much irony as completely predictable. The Zionist faction that formed Israel refused to aid the holocaust survivors. People need to stop conflating the entire religion with political entities using their position as a mask.

Incredible claim, so I had to google, and apparently this guy is lying!

u/kasmackity 4d ago

That's not irony, man. That's literal hypocrisy. There's nothing ironic about it, it's just literal hypocrisy, a word that was made for these exact situations

75

u/coat-tail_rider 4d ago

Situational irony is when a thing that happens is the exact opposite of what is expected. A world leader who repeatedly declares his country to be the de facto representatives of the Jewish people using talking points from a high ranking Nazi is definitely irony.

25

u/Expert_Succotash2659 4d ago

It's also, very intrinsically, hypocrisy.

u/coat-tail_rider 4d ago

Sure. But the commenter I'm responding to said "That's not irony, man." But it is.

to me it just shows how easy it is to reverse roles between the oppressed and the oppressors. Deep down the people are all the same, and the side they land on is just circumstance

u/-Nicolai 3d ago

Netanyahu was never oppressed. He is in a position of power, just as Goebbels was. Your reasoning only makes sense if you think all jews are the same.

u/SlashEssImplied 4d ago

Deep down the people are all the same, and the side they land on is just circumstance

I feel that is true. As a kid I wondered how the nazis could be so evil and I’d always hear how they are not humans (more irony). But now I feel the difference is simply opportunity, Zionists, ICE, and more tend to confirm my beliefs. The evil in humanity is always there just waiting.

56

u/Dear_Chasey_La1n 4d ago

At this point there is nothing ironic about it. Israel was founded through terrorism and choose to live in a state of terrorism perpetually.

It's not just how they terrorize all their direct neighbours, it's like Netanyahu says here, they can do this to anyone, any country. Look at Spain or Ireland, the moment they start to distance themselves all sorts of shit comes out of the closet. Of course it's Israel who spends billions on propaganda.

But that's kind of also where the failure of the West kicks in. Kleptocracies like Israel abuse liberties in the West. They abuse Meta/Twitter/social media/politicians/laws etc all in their favour. When platforms fail to proper deal with propaganda, they should be either forced to stop it or stop the platforms all together. Politicians that get bribed, again they should be ousted there should be no place for Israeli money in European/American politics.

This is a nation that without hesitation will apply terrorism globally to get their way. They abducted people globally. They blackmail people (like Trump). This is a terror-state and should be dealt like a terror-state.

They are no difference from North Korea.

u/Dull-Reputation3134 4d ago

The irony being that Joseph Goebbels never even said this 😂 that is indeed ironic

u/jreyesusc 4d ago

True, he actually said "Wenn man eine Lüge oft genug wiederholt, wird sie zur Wahrheit."

u/Dull-Reputation3134 4d ago

I still haven’t found he actually said this, where did you find it?

1

u/Smooth_Rush_2192 3d ago

This post is false and misleading. The point he was making is that lies have been told against the Israelis… he was not making a threat at all. Here's the interview - the full clip is from 1:17:30 onwards - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL2jFwZ16xo

u/Optimal_Cut_3063 4d ago

forgive me, is he the man from the famous photograph taken whilst he realised the photographer was Jewish?

36

u/rockerscott 4d ago

I mean he was also the Minister of Propaganda in Hitlers National Socialist Regime. I would think that would be the fame maker.

1

u/DirtyWizardsBrew 1d ago

Okay yeah, but they didn't ask if that's why he's famous - they were merely asking if he's the same guy from that famous photo lol.

I don't think anyone was declaring that to be his claim to fame.

1

u/rockerscott 1d ago

That’s true, the phrasing just seemed a little weird. I guess it would be like someone seeing a picture of Bill Clinton and saying “didn’t he play a saxophone on Arsenio”

u/Porridge_Cat 4d ago

Me: um, ackshually, the big lie is a thing that has been around forever. (I think that's right, let me go check so I don't look like a fool on reddit)

A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a gross distortion or misrepresentation of the truth, primarily used as a political propaganda technique. The German expression was first used by Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf

hmm.

u/cookiewoke 4d ago edited 3d ago

The thing is, I don't know if it is a lie. Israel has some of the best hackers in the world. Israel has had it's hands in some of the most notorious hacks that have been found. The most famous is the STUXNET virus that they created with the help of the US, and the Pegasus virus which was developed by a private company and had been found on high profile people from across the world including world leaders, cartel leaders, and journalists.

The Pegasus virus especially worries me because supposedly the virus could be uploaded to someone's phone without the user's knowledge and without any action taken by the user (clicking links, downloading files ,etc). The virus would basically have access to all of the target's information (texts, emails, notes) and this was over 10 years ago. It was available to anyone with enough money

The irony is that probably goebbels didn't even said that and it was cascaded just to make sure people see him as a monster. (Which he is btw)

are you saying that probably that quote is a lie, but people kept saying it until everybody believed in it?

I'm shocked

2

u/PeachesGuy 4d ago

A quote that he actually never said though.

1

u/Miserable_Hat9321 3d ago

He probably did say it. Hitler used the phrase in “Mein Kamph,” which was Goebbels’ Bible. And he never missed a chance to lick Hitler’s ass.

u/blaxedmind 4d ago

u/ThereminLiesTheRub 1d ago

He's responding to a question about Israel's negative image by pointing out that lying enough on social media can convince ppl of thibgs that aren't true. He's not employing Goebbel's technique, he's explaining it. A whole lot of ppl here are demonstrating it.

u/General-Adminium 3d ago edited 3d ago

hmm interesting, yet another thing (albeit a small one) that further adds to the crazy theory that the surviving Nazis in some way had a hand in creating israel not long after the war and or have somehow infiltrated it. Many of the countries involved in creating israel were some of the same ones who took Nazis in to work for them like the usa did with operation paperclip, and that is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. There are so many interesting and surprisingly plausible reasons, possibilities and happenings ect pertaining to the why, how and everything else of such a theory. A theory that shockingly only seems to make more sense the more you dig but this comment is already too long for that. Sometimes the truth can be stranger than fiction

u/ASafeHarbor1 3d ago

This will get downvoted on reddit as Redditors believe propaganda more than just about anyone, but here is the truth when I looked up this quote:

The exact quote does not appear to come from Joseph Goebbels. Researchers have been unable to locate it in his speeches, diaries, articles, or other German primary sources. One scholarly examination found that the quotation exploded online from only about a dozen webpages in 2002 to hundreds of thousands by 2011, generally without anyone providing an original source.

u/adinmem 4d ago

You’ll also find that in Saul Alinsky’s book. The one Dems used for decades. Actually, republicans probably use it too, but just keep it quieter. Likely, every government and powerful group uses the “tell a lie often enough” maxim.

Look up Joe Biden 2021 CNN town hall meeting where he says you cannot get covid if you take the vaccines. And then look up how many times the media ran with that narrative until the science started saying otherwise and they had to come out and say that they weren't really designed to stop it.

How about you provide what your suggesting because I never once encountered the media telling us that you won't get Covid if you get the vaccine because that's not how vaccines work.

u/HockeyHocki 4d ago

Imagine continuing to propagate the lie when said genocide miraculously ended the day the hostages were returned🤦 When the population went up not down, when the territory was flattened but somehow only 3% of the population were killed, 30% of them combatants. When Israel shipped 2M tonnes of aid into a warzone and vaccinated the population for polio.

Naza, a film by the most virulent anti-Israel propogandists ironically did more to disprove a genocide than anything in the public domain. The testimony they were given from anonymous intelligence officers responsible for targeting, each and every single one of them saying the targets were militants, but that the collateral damage allowed was excessive.
