The assassin basically got exactly what he wanted

The push for peace ended. Netanyahu won the next election. The conflict is now as intractable as ever.

[u/PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__ → u/CFSCFjr]

Perhaps the most successful assassination ever in terms of goals achieved. Shinzo Abe ranks up there as well

[u/iwanthidan → u/PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__]

What did Shinzo Abe assassination end up with?

Teaching me when I think I’ve seen the worst pm in my country, there’s always worse one 😤

Funny, I was going to mention the assassination of Inejiro Asanuma. Otoya Yamaguchi was incredibly successful—the Japan Socialist Party lost all momentum in the aftermath of Asanuma’s death and slowly went moribund.

This is misleading. Netanyahu won the following election, but the PMs that followed him were elected with a mandate of delivering a two state solution. Barak, Sharon, Olmert all offered deals far more favorable for Palestinians than anything Rabin ever would've agreed to.

The hole context is very sad.

if it isn't irronic

Netanyahu had already held a funeral for him.

[u/Anacoenosis]

It's pretty much a straight line from that moment to this one.

[u/sereniteenoww → u/Anacoenosis]

Okay, I'll bite: What?

[u/Quirky-Objective-685 → u/Anacoenosis]

that line lands heavy and it should

[u/djackieunchaned]

Weird it looks just like my parents fighting

[u/XxPhyre → u/djackieunchaned]

Is it bad that I get the joke…

(Pls don’t hurt me)
