Israel’s criminal defendant prime minister, more focused on saving his incompetent far-right government than saving the hostages who have spent seven months trapped in Gaza, is doing everything he can to torpedo Israel’s last and best chance at bringing the hostages home
“Hysteria for political reasons,” Minister Benny Gantz termed the statement issued over the weekend by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (also known as “the diplomatic official”), in which he reiterated that with or without a temporary pause in the fighting for the release of our hostages, “We will enter Rafah and eliminate the remaining Hamas battalions.”
Later, before the end of Shabbat, Netanyahu sent another announcement, in which he denied reports saying Israel had agreed to a cease-fire as part of a deal.
Netanyahu had hoped that the Egyptian proposal, which was more far-reaching than anything he had been willing to accept in the past, would be rejected by Hamas. Over the weekend, when the negotiations took a positive turn, Netanyahu found himself in distress, as was expressed by his flurry of statements. Given our familiarity with his family environment, including his pampered son on the front in Miami, his fright is indeed understandable.
about the last part, the eu banned rt and sputnik news.
does that mean eu countries aren’t democracies?
Try to criticise israel or your government publicly to have a taste of “democracy”.
plenty of israelis criticize israel all the time.
the existance of media groups like haaretz and 972 in israel, which criticize israel all the time are a good example.
the massive protests are another.
Last part as in ‘‘Israel claims they are the ‘‘only democracy in the Middle East’’?
I refer to this not only because they shutdown Al Jazeera but also their entire regime. They call themselves an democratic country in the Middle East but we all know:
How can you call such an state ‘‘democratic’’?
EDIT 1: If you want, I can get news-sources for each claim.
EDIT 2: Checking upon your comment history, you’ve been spamming that particular sentence. So I’m curious why you are defending an state that is on paper “democratic” but in reality is not.
last part as in ‘They also shut down AlJezeera news and Israel claims they are the ‘‘only democracy in the Middle East’’’
they have the same laws for all citizens. jews, muslims, druze, etc.
palestinians living in the west bank are citizens of the pa (or jordan), not of israel.
the situation in area c of the west bank is a result of the failed oslo accords and bibi’s policy of “status quo”.
article by prof mohammed wattad, who is an israeli-arab (his own words)
israel’s declaration of independence
basic laws of israel
shutting down a state backed media group that has ties to the muslim brotherhood (hamas is a branch of theirs), from a hostile state that hosts the billionaire leaders of hamas, is similar to the shutting down of rt in europe - which is a state backed media group of a hostile state.
in israel you don’t vote for the prime minister, you vote for a party. as part of the coalition creating process, the pm is chosen as part of the agreements between parties.
one of the pm’s parties in 2022, naftali bennet, had much less votes than the likud ever had.
basic law: the government
knesset
posting something twice and then replying to someone with a similar link isn’t “spamming”.
pointing out the reality of this specific action / situation isn’t “defending” anything. that’s a very black and white view of things.
same as when i criticize a state it doesn’t instantly mean i’m against it or hate it.
I don’t have time to give a complete argument back (yet) but where are your sources for your claims?
I’ll respond in a day or two entirely.
fair enough.
added some, will add more later.
Yes the EU isn’t a Democracy either.
ah ok, some of the most democratic countries in the world aren’t democratic.
which countries are then? qatar? north korea?
Whataboutism doesn’t disprove my argument. Reality is inconvenient indeed.
a case of an anti-semitic doctor who praises terrorists and flouts a visa ban, isn’t enough to declare some of the most democratic countries in the world “not democratic”.
here’s one of the articles by him in arabic praising a terrorist who murdered a rabbi.
All things that have now been fully proven to be true showing this is not a man that makes up false stories.
Zionist newspapers with the quotation marks lmao.
Also your article does not provide any evidence of antisemitism aside from claiming he praised a resistance fighter in the West Bank for shooting what appears to be a violent israeli colonist in the West Bank, while not mentioning the full story whatsoever. Palestinians defending themselves is super anti-Semitic.
Only the IDF may be praised in Germany for Nazi’ing all over the West Bank and Gaza to expand their Lebensraum right?
