    lmfao everyone please watch the video in the linked article, it's hilarious. When he pulls out the super tiny paper shredder I laughed out loud. It legit feels like a scene from an Austin Powers movie or something.

      hes also saying "you are shredding the un charter with your own hands" as he puts the charter, with his hands, into the tiny paper shredder that he brought with him

      hes like a kid throwing a tantrum by punching himself in the head until he gets what he wants

        It is actually much funnier than that - The entire legal existence of Israel is because UN and its charter. What he shredded is the literal legitimacy of his state.

      Damn you weren’t kidding. Feels like that scene where he has the cart stuck in the hallway and he’s having to do a million point turn

      It's legitimately funny

      In another world this guy could've had a decent prop comedy career where he does ridiculous shit while maintaining a straight face. But we live in the bad world 😞

      Most libs know and are just running out the clock with their support for a two state solution. I think it would instantly disappear if Israel didn't hold a military advantage on the ground. While it does, the libs can just talk about a nice two state solution, while Palestinians get obliterated. Hey, I said I support the two state solution, it is not my fault that I am creating conditions on the ground (by giving Israel everything it wants and more) that make it impossible!

      Is it the same day? The tie is same as video.

      Did he take it off to do his act? In the video he is just wearing a yellow ribbon pin. A weird choice IMHO didn't know ppl still were into that.

          Ah I distinctly remember the star of david day in the UN. Thought maybe they had kept up the act. Of course not because they do not really believe it. Such a vile thing to do; so fucking disrespectful. Not to mention being holocaust denialism via minimizing.

    shut the fuck up, zionist. Tehran, nuke plz

    actually i guess that's a bad idea since Palestine is right there. (plus it's all Palestine)

      Tehran still really should develop nukes, no use holding back from wielding power as long as you have a solid commitment to not actually go through with using them.

    The tiny shredder is the funniest thing I have seen today, wow. A shame he's devoted to genocide and not standup.

      Lol, as if we acknowledge international law. The UN is a good source of entertainment, but not a organization that furthers left politics.

        That’s an oversimplification I think. The UN is one of the tools used to maintain and legitimise the liberal world order. Of course it’s not our tool, in a just (socialist) world order Israel would not exist.

        What’s significant is that the fascists in Tel Aviv are telling everyone that they cannot be trusted to exist in the liberal world order either. And that the way to square that circle is to tear down the order.

        That is not by itself the material change we want to see, but it is significant. The majority of actual decision makers in the world are libs, and they’re not immune to ideology. And nothing riles up libs quite like shaking the boat. They have their own troubles at home with the unacknowledged recession, climate change, disillusionment with the status quo etc.

        This is not by itself the change we want to see, but I’m optimistic it can be the political environment in which that change can occur.

      You're telling me he actually put it in a shredder? I just assumed from the title he ripped it up, my god..

      Edit: yeah I'm on a phone here I couldn't see the lil shredder in his hand on the icon and who can be bothered to click a link these days. These villains can't even be cool like action movie villains or something, total cringe on top of other massive atrocities

      Articles described this as an "emotional reaction" but given what an unusual item this is, you know someone thought of it like weeks/months ago. Had to wait for shipping.

    What's the point of voting? The USA will just say no again anyways, and it's not like they can just kick an obvious bad actor.

    “I need a shredder”

    “I have one on my desk for shredding index cards”

    “…”
