Who on Earth are you talking about?
Current president of Israel
First of all, his name is Herzog. Secondly, it isn't his regime because he is only nominally in charge due to the president of Israel having limited powers.
Are you under the impression that Israel's president is like the U.S. president?
Israel has a parliamentary system. The prime minister has supreme executive power. The prime minister of Israel is Benjamin Netanyahu.
That's actually sorta that joke, the US president is roughly as capable of commiting genocide as the president of Israel.
As for misspelling his name... Thanks Google? I'll fix it.
Which the joke was probably not well delivered as it would probably have flown over that other guys head anyway...
Then it's not a good joke since the U.S. president is the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces, meaning that a U.S. president could absolutely commit genocide. And has done so many times with indigenous Americans.
The last one also caused a huge number of "excess deaths" as well...
Only with clearance from Congress though. I actually did not realize that Israel's president did not serve as cic.
Absolutely not true. Only for prolonged conflicts... which congress will almost definitely approve of by the time that happens because the military will already be too embedded.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Resolution
And even the limits on the War Powers Resolution have only been in place since 1973.
I see, so essentially they would state that it was in defense of the United States because it is was onshore and is there's nothing Congress could do about it.
That's actually really horrifying if someone like trump takes the presidency given his current threats...
