Israel "Why won't you just let us murder all these men, women, and children?"
Please stop using anti-israel language. Instead of "men," say "hamas fighters." Instead of "women and children," say "hamas fighters."
/s in case it wasn't obvious
other Israelis worry their leaders are losing the vital war for global support.
The time to worry about that was a while back, before other western countries talked about arms restrictions and their primary supporter and supplier publicly told them no. They were riding the high of Biden sticking with them as other sentiment turned rather than recognizing they were pushing that relationship to the breaking point.
.Israel said it was carrying out "a precise counterterrorism operation to eliminate Hamas terrorists and infrastructure" in the area.
A precise operation meaning that you're just going to level the entire place and everyone in it? "Kill them all and let God sort them out"? Fuck your genocide.
1939: Germany's far right lashes out at Allies. Says invasion of Poland will happen.
Israel is not part of the Free World, but they are part of Apartheid and every country with lunatic religious nutters running it straight into the ground.
Said it before..,Pride goeth before the fall.
Edit: Or..
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.
Bibi is sending Isreal into a pariah state. All to satisfy his right wing and keep him out of jail.
Lash out at yourselves for not being able to support your own country/murderous desires.
Psychopath.
So do you like Biden for this, since you've been blindly critical of Biden for "supporting genocide"? Since this is Biden escalating repercussions to Israel, this is a good thing in your eyes, right?
Or are you posting this because Israel is now being crticial of Biden and any critical message about Biden is OK with you?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Parliamentarian Dan Illouz, a lawmaker from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's own Likud party, said the U.S. leader's action, "not only jeopardizes Israel but the entire free world."
Israel's President Isaac Herzog, considered a more moderate politician, who is not a member of Netanyahu's far-right coalition government, appeared to chastise his more extreme colleagues on Thursday.
"Even when there are disagreements and moments of disappointment between friends and allies, there is a way to clarify the disputes and it is beholden upon all of us to avoid baseless, irresponsible and insulting statements and tweets that harm the national security and the interests of the State of Israel," Herzog added.
Speaking Wednesday to CNN, Mr. Biden said it would be "just wrong" if U.S.-supplied weapons were used in attacks that led to mass civilian deaths in a full-scale Rafah ground offensive.
The IDF ordered people in the eastern part of the city to leave this week, sparking a desperate exodus of thousands — many of whom had already been forced to flee from other locations multiple times.
IDF tanks rolled in to take control of the Gaza side of Rafah's crucial border crossing with Egypt on Tuesday, soon after the evacuation order was issued, and Israel said it was carrying out "a precise counterterrorism operation to eliminate Hamas terrorists and infrastructure" in the area.
