Halt to Iran attacks means Netanyahu's corruption trial will resume on Sunday

>Yeah… somehow I don’t think the ceasefire is going to hold. It's already dead. And given comments from Iran, Israel, and the US, I'm not sure it ever actually existed. It sounds like everyone agreed to a different set of terms.

I give it until Saturday evening until bombing starts up again

He'd bomb every kindergarten in his own country before he would willingly go to jail.

The first corruption trial to be measured in bodies per minute.

It's insane that so much devastation and death is allowed in society to protect these leaders like Trump and Netanyahu. And what's even more insane is that they have devoted followers who can't see through it all.

Israel has already bombed Lebanon again lmao. Israel and the US can never stick to any ceasefire.

Or getting elected

I guess we are both crazy I never thought a convicted felon with multiple indictments named in the Epstein files as a probable pedofile could be voted in to lead a country either 🤔....

The crazy thing is that Netanyahu said the exact same thing years ago when Olmert was prime minister and tried for corruption. 

Yeah, but then the government could start corruption trials on all of their opponents. Not defending him, to be clear, but there's a reason we don't punish people before they're tried.

Side Eyes so hard it hurts

\+1 So far it seems my current reality does not have anything that meaningfully extends a person's maximum lifetime before dying from old age, and I am grateful for the failure. Because, I live in a reality (born too soon?) where some evils that some people do, seem to have no way to be stopped, except by their death from old age. Knowing they are old. Older than me. Knowing that in spite of their wealth or unbounded corruption, they cannot buy or bargain or con or blackmail their way to a longer life. Knowing they are closer to death every day... It's the thing that can provide hope: that evil people die. And when they die, hopefully less evil will be in the world. Less harm will be in the world.

Exactly! WTF, seriously. He shouldn't be allowed an incentive for him to ruin millions of lives. Normal people get suspended from their positions whilst investigations are concluded, the leader of a country should be held to the same or higher standards.

> facing a corruption trial shouldn't be leading a country I mean, the most basic rule of law is: innocent until proven guilty That would be an easy way to get rid of your oponents: by bogus trial

I mean yeah but it's on the people. You can't punish someone *ahead* of a conviction because that's not justice (and anyone could *easily* use it to rig elections, just put an opponent on trial for something and disqualify them without needing a conviction), but the people should know better than to elect someone facing these kind of charges on principle. Unfortunately though they're pretty ride or die for this guy over there.

Trial =/= conviction. Perhaps we should not hold people guilty until convicted? Or are we done with presumption of innocence or something?

Or a convicted felon.

The voters shouldn't _vote_ for people facing corruption charges. You can't pass a law against it, or Trump and Netanyahu would immediately instruct their justice departments to go after their political opponents.

I believe in in Innocent till proven guilty, but he should not be able to DELAY the trial.

I'm NOT defending Netanyahu or anyone else, but this is a stupid take. Innocent until proven guilty. Otherwise, *anyone* can start a bogus corruption trial, or even the current government can do it against an upcoming competitor. If the people are electing felons, then the issue is not with the elected.

Hey the United States can have a convicted felon as president I say it’s fair. Lol

No conflict of interest there..

Then just sue whatever leader you don't like for corruption so that they have to leave. Even if the trial finds them innocent it will be too late.

Well its more like hes given emergency powers that exclude/pause things like his trail until the "crisis" is "resolved".

Does seem to create potential for some kind of moral hazard.

Someone in the Trump-Epstein files should not be in charge and starting a war, but at least there is news that men will automatically be registered for the draft.

You wouldn't even be able to get a government clearance, let alone lead a country.

Check the stocks!

Which one? AFAIK the one between Israel and Hezbollah just started unless something changed within the last hour. The US/Iran(and it's allies) is so insanely murky it's hard to say because both sides claim they have victory and both sides claim the ceasefire is based on different peace plans. You have the international community praising the peace while the Strait has been closed and it doesnt seem like the cease fire exists...but hostilities have cooled significantly. We seem to be in a weird purgatory at the moment. If and when this ends everyone will be a loser while claiming victory. ETA: My post is incorrect. There was no ceasefire with Hezbollah or Lebanon. I was remembering incorrectly. I was referring to Netanyahu being open to direct talks with LEBANON which is far different than a ceasefire. I should double check before positing next time.

No it didn't. The ceasefire was between iran and the US and to a lesser extent Israel. This is geopolitics the text of any law or agreement isn't worth the paper its printed on. Any discussion of violation of some detail is a conversation for stupid people. But if you wanted to engage in it Israel bombed Lebanon which is an entirely different country. (hint that last sentence is bait for someone to argue about) America isn't bombing Iran right now. Israel isn't either. Iran hasn't shot anyone or sunk any ships. That's a ceasefire.

Who knows at this point man

*You keep me out of court and I’ll help them forget you’re a child rapist.*

More people dying for all these cunts, probably.

exactly..they're just waiting for markets to close on Friday before resuming attacks on iran

Trump is not only compromised, but compromised multiple directions to different powers. Putin first, but if Israel doesn't have their hands on every ugly bit in the Epstein files and then some, I'd be shocked. Given, nobody fixed the problem in the most direct manner, which is shocking in and of itself.
