    It’s tempting to wish that the Iranians succeeded in assassinating him, though we know that if they did, he’d be instantly beatified into a global centrist Charlie Kirk: a statesman of peace and liberalism ruthlessly murdered by evil terrorist fanatics. There’d be statues of him alongside Mandela and Gandhi, Berlin would rename one of its central squares to Netanjahuplatz, and the next year’s Oscars would be swept by the biopic Bibi. The gaslighting would be incessant.

    Assuming this is true and that the new Ayatollah is also dead. How funny will it be if Iran and Israel have to both bring their dead leaders to peace talks.

      He doesn’t have enough bones, cells or lives to actually “taste his own medicine”. Even Hell is a mercy for the likes of him.

    why do people actually think he’s dead? especially after all the incessant Israeli state social media posts “meming” his liveliness?

      I think at this point it is a mix of wishful thinking, actual ignorance, or shitposting to ratio the zios

      Well they’ve been posting fake videos of him. So either he’s dead or he’s in a bunker/injured and they just want everything to look fine.

      Something is fucky. Too much BS in videos released - so uncertain. Imo likely alive but we may be seeing protection protocols since they’re in a hot war with Iran instead of a 1 sided genocide. For all the US / Israel propaganda it’s clear now Iran was a much more capable adversary. The pissrael genocide forces may be trying to keep him safe and obscure his location.

      It’s really up in the air at this point. His house was bombed, his brother nearly died and they said he was coincidentally “in a car crash” the same day (he was at the house)

      They’ve also posted 4 AI generated or deep fakes videos of him. Not sure why you’d do that if he was fine. My take is he’s probably very injured.

      Someone was also livestreaming netanyahus location before he was bombed 💀

      Yes, but I only have a source in Swedish (specifically the later part of the video). To summarize: The national media SVT has this ‘task-force’ that verifies/debunks claims being spread on social media. In the video I linked to, they compare the clip Israel posted of Netanyahu getting coffee with pictures the cafe took and earlier posted pictures of the cafe. The same was done for the outside of the cafe shown in a different clip. Everything was highly consistent and unlikely to be AI. The only oddity, a disappearing ring, is likely due to video quality and/or hand positioning.
