During a video address directed at the people of Lebanon, Netanyahu said: "You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza.
Threatening violence against civilians in the pursuit of political aims, huh? If only we had a word for that.
I just can’t see why anyone would hate him/Isreal. They cleared so much space for schools and hospitals by destroying old, run down schools and hospitals. I mean such hazardous work being done for free! Such a generous man, and all that military protection. How can you not love this regime!?!
It’s just plain old antisemitism. No need to dig any deeper than that.
Hey, I said no digging!
Maybe he should focus on maintaining peace if he doesn’t want his own country to turn into bloody ashes
Israel sat idly by allowing the enemy to get stronger… They’re not going to make that mistake again.
And who’s going to do that as long as the US extends endless military and financial support? Bibi slaughtered tens of thousands of children with nothing more than a furrowed brow at the State Department. We send Israel so many bombs that it exceeds our military transport capacity and we’re chartering private carriers for part of the load. At every turn, the US has confirmed to Israel that it can act with impunity and retain our guarantee of support.
I don’t think he wants peace at all. I think if there’s peace, he will lose his position as PM and lose its power with it.
He would be fine with a full out war because he knows US will help him.
He was about to lose power before 10/7…
And has been refusing to allow elections because of the genocides he won’t stop committing ever since.
Disgusting.
Can someone explain to me how this is going to help get the hostages back? I was told this was about hostages.
Netanyahu and his cronies don’t care about the hostages. They care about retaining their power. He knows he’s done for once this war ends. He’s hated both by the world and his own citizens.
No, this war is about Total Victory, whatever that is.
Like some kind of Final Solution.
Probably something like Total War.
It’s mostly about preventing future hostages now
I don’t know how you think these things work but bombing half the Levant isn’t going to make Israel any safer. It just means Hamas and Hezbollah (or whatever group replaces them) will be even more extreme and capable of recruiting militants. You can’t bomb your way to peace.
Let me explain how we can prove you’re 100% full of bullshit.
If this had anything to do with security, bibi would resign, hand over reins to someone who didn’t fuck up and let the hostages be taken in the first place, and Israel could come up with plans slightly more nuanced and thought through than ‘Wauuugghh!!!’
He’s desperate to keep power because hes Bibi, he’d use Iran getting nukes under his watch as an excuse for why he had to keep power, every failure from incompetence is just another argument for why he can’t possibly be replaced.
You have a dictator, and it would be hilarious if it weren’t so tragic.
Your post makes me wonder which country you’re from, and how you’re so sure your neighbours can’t barge in with a few thousand soldiers and capture 250 hostages
If you’re suggesting that pre-Al Aqsa Flood-Bibi was too weak on Gaza, then well… Yeah
America, we had a similar surprise once.
Our reaction did not give us the assurance we desired.
Bibi is a corrupt tool, he incited the assassination of Rabin and he’s basically a far smarter Trump.
Israel is doomed because of him, because for such an ideologue security is fuel and he won’t let you stop until greater Israel or it’s complete destruction, there is no middle ground.
The Land of America you say
Do you think your leader is strong enough to prevent a few thousand Canadians from rushing the border for a few hours?
The only hostage that in Yahoo is trying to prevent, is him in some kind of jail cell.
He continues to be so out of it.
They’re at war. This is an unfortunate effect of war.
