Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has told the United States that he opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state once the conflict in Gaza comes to an end.

In a news conference, a defiant Mr Netanyahu vowed to press on with the offensive in Gaza "until complete victory": the destruction of Hamas and return of the remaining Israeli hostages, adding that it could take "many more months".

With almost 25,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and 85% of the strip's population displaced, Israel is under intense pressure to rein in its offensive and engage in meaningful talks over a sustainable end to the war.

I have very little time to care about the opinions of someone who says they are strong on security but can’t stop an attack they had warning for.

He is incompetent.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

Incompetent? No.

From Wikipedia:

In July 1995, Netanyahu led a mock funeral procession featuring a coffin and hangman's noose at an anti-Rabin rally where protesters chanted, "Death to Rabin". The chief of internal security, Carmi Gillon, then alerted Netanyahu of a plot on Rabin's life and asked him to moderate the protests' rhetoric, which Netanyahu declined to do. Netanyahu denied any intention to incite violence.

Rabin was leading the Oslo peace process. Four months later in November of 1995, he was assassinated. Netanyahu's corruption, power grabs, and violence are intentional and planned.

Why would they have wanted to stop it. 150 martyrs is a small price to pay for carte blanche to exterminate a people.

Israel had snipers around the festival. We’ve all seen the videos of Israeli forces killing their own citizens during the attack.

No I haven’t seen that footage.

Can you please link it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

And how would you even be able to tell that it's Israeli snipers shooting Israeli civilians?

Even if he is incompetent, he's still Prime Minister of Israel. It's dangerous to disregard people's opinions just because you think that person is an idiot, especially if they're in a position of power.

That's the nature of power. People have to pay attention to you even if your opinions are bad.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

My hope is that Israelis boot him out of office so he has no power. Then I can truly disregard anything he has to say.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I hope he goes to jail. Netanyahu is single-handedly dismantling the so-called "only democracy in the Middle East".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's not so called it is actually the only democracy in the middleeast. Thank you for participating.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Countries that are democracies are a subset of countries that are called democracies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

According to the unanimous field of political science Israel is a "flawed democracy."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You are arguing with nobody. That statement isn't incongruous with what I said.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Oh it seemed you were implying that Israel calls itself a democracy but that it really isn't, such as North Korea or something.
