Khan Younis witnesses one of the bloodiest days yet, rights monitor says https://www.aljazeera.com/ 24 July 2024 Israel’s assault on Khan Younis that killed at least 89 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children, is one of its bloodiest attacks yet as “Israel’s crime of genocide continues to unfold”, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has said in a statement. The monitor noted that every time there is talk that a truce will be reached, “the Israeli army purposefully increases the number of massacres and mass killings of Palestinian civilians”. “This raises concerns that Israel is engaging in political blackmail by using the killing and displacement of civilians as a tool of pressure, as it has done repeatedly in recent weeks,” it said. It noted that during the latest attack on Khan Younis, entire families were taken off the civil registry, including the Jabour and Harb families. The monitor urged all nations to enact strong sanctions against Israel and end all political, financial and military support.
Netanyahu tells it like it is... Netanyahu compares Oct. 7 to Pearl Harbor and criticizes protesters in address to Congress Protesters are marching outside the Capitol and roughly 40 Democrats are boycotting the speech in protest of Netanyahu's handling of the war in Gaza. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/co...ess-first-time-oct-7-attack-israel-rcna163260
Ya, Pearl Harbour became a victim as a result of stealing land from Japan, is that right......? Netanyahum&ha forever the liar and forever the victim. Go cry to 'Merica so he can bomb those Palestinian a bit more.
Satire: https://www.normalisland.co.uk/p/id...e&r=519vn&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email In a raid on one of the few hospitals in Gaza that Israel has not completely destroyed, the IDF has made the stunning discovery of a Hamas base hidden inside an ultrasound machine. As a result of this discovery, an IDF soldier did the only thing a normal person would do: he smashed the ultrasound machine to pieces. Obviously, this was the only way for Israel to be safe. You just never know when Hamas is planning to scan a pregnant mother, do you? The stunning discovery in the ultrasound machine has left the people who scoffed at the idea of a secret Hamas base that teleported into, around, and underneath hospitals, reeling. The Hamas base was real, after all, and only the very worst monsters would hide their base inside a baby scanner. This proves that every action in Israel’s war on children has been justified and the slaughter must continue. If you oppose shooting up hospitals and smashing ultrasound machines, I can only assume you support terrorism. The discovery of Hamas HQ has come at the perfect time for Benjamin Netanyahu who needed to announce some progress because he is feeling the pressure. The Israeli prime minister is visiting one of the few countries he will be allowed to enter once the ICC issues an arrest warrant, and he hopes to impress. The US (who else?) has invited its favourite war criminal to congress, giving him the opportunity to ask for an even bigger bigger welfare cheque. The Americans who can’t get healthcare are thrilled at the prospect of more of their tax dollars going towards the destruction of hospitals. In one of the most historic moments since Blair went horse riding with Putin, President Biden plans to meet with Netanyahu tomorrow so they can reminisce about their war crimes. Netanyahu will use the opportunity to gauge whether to back Kamala Harris or offer his support to Donald Trump. Let’s be honest, there really isn’t much to choose between them. Netanyahu was warmly welcomed to Capitol Hill by every member of congress who is funded by AIPAC, which is pretty much all of them. AIPAC has reassured congress that 10% of whatever Israel gets from this trip will be given back to them in backhanders. I’m sure you will agree, these people deserve a pay rise. The Washington public certainly thinks so. Fans of Netanyahu were so excited by his arrival, they dyed the fountains of Capitol Hill red to honour his achievements and remind him how many gallons of blood he has spilled. Netanyahu was deeply touched by the gesture. I remember the dark days of politics when even warmongers had to pretend they were acting with a heavy heart. Today, politics is more inclusive because we get to proudly cheer on genocide like it’s a team sport - one in which our team always wins! Netanyahu touchingly wore a yellow badge during his speech in solidarity with the hostages because he cares so much, he has rejected any deal to free the hostages and killed ten times as many hostages as he has rescued. As you can see, Netanyahu’s logic is flawless and his sincerity is absolute. The leader who has addressed congress more times than any other felt no need to hide his true intentions. He sensibly demanded war against Iran and insisted the US and Israel must stand together, by which he meant the US must give him lots of money and do all the fighting because he does not want Iran’s missiles coming his way. Netanyahu’s request for tax dollars got so many rounds of applause, you would think he had cured world hunger, but he did something even better: he created his very own famine! Just remember, one day this will all be over and Netanyahu will get the credit for ending it. He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for this, not an ICC arrest warrant. “Give me more money and I’ll finish the job!” Netanyahu bellowed and three congressman saw their erectile dysfunction miraculously cured as they envisaged a mushroom cloud over Gaza. “Hamas burnt babies alive!” Netanyahu roared to rapturous applause, even though everyone in the room knew it wasn’t true. We love Netanyahu so much that we even clap when he lies about babies being killed to justify him killing babies! “I will finally destroy the ultrasound machines!” Netanyahu boomed, and at this point, members of congress were jumping out of their seats and hugging and kissing each other. Not everyone in the room was so happy though, and at least one party pooper tried her best to spoil the jubilation. A scowling Rashida Tlaib wore a keffiyeh and clutched a microphone bearing the words “war criminal” and I’m unclear why she was not arrested. Obviously, Rashida is a terrorist because she is Palestinian and she doesn’t want to pay for Palestinians to be bombed. She is so unreasonable and she is not the only one. In a disgraceful act of anti-Semitism, Jewish senator Bernie Sanders called Netanyahu a “war criminal”. If you criticise the leader of Israel, you must hate all Jews, apart from the hundreds of Jews who were protesting outside who must also hate all Jews. The same goes for the 30 Israelis, including former Mossad directors and IDF chiefs of staff, who wrote to congress, explaining Netanyahu has no mandate in Israel and is facing prosecution for serious crimes. Everyone who criticises Netanyahu is an anti-Semite, and when the smears don’t work, cops beat the shit out of protesters and we tell you they deserved it! One of the anti-genocide protesters was so jihadist, they burnt an effigy of Netanyahu, but the Israeli prime minister would never stoop to burning effigies. He just burns refugees alive in tents like a civilised human being. Netanyahu called the protesters “Iran’s useful idiots” and accused them of being “in league with Hamas” as brave cops pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed them for protesting against one of the few people Americans are not allowed to criticise. All I can say is they were lucky Netanyahu left his white phosphorous at home because then they would have been in serious trouble x
This is your reminder that when Hamas is done killing all the Jews then they are coming for you next. If you have any doubts read their charter. ‘Hamas is coming': Protesters pull down US flag, vandalize DC landmarks https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-811912
That's just raw emotion talking. If the Zionists would stop taking land for their over-breeding population, we'd see this situation start to cool. But that's not something Netanyahoo even wants to discuss—he wants that land, period. As for the hostages, if Israel wants them back (in one piece) they should consider not bombing the hostages.
I will fully admit that Netanyahu and his right-wing government are not interested in peace or a two-state solution. I have mentioned many times that Israel needs to install a more moderate government for any possibility of a long term solution. The policies of the Netanyahu government in seizing more land for settlers in the West Bank are not helpful -- and most of the land would need to be given back to establish a two-state solution. However -- the bottom line -- is that the first step towards peace is totally eliminating Hamas as a militant and governing entity in Gaza. There was an interesting article recently about the former Fatah leader in Gaza, Mohammed Dahlan, being installed as the leader in Gaza. He fled back in 2007 when Hamas murdered the majority of Hamas supporters in Gaza. This is also a reminder that since 2005 Hamas has killed far more many Palestinians in Gaza than the IDF. 'The logical choice': 17 years after he fled, could Dahlan lead a post-Hamas Gaza? “He has bridges with everyone but not necessarily liked by everyone. But I can’t think of anyone else who has his credentials.” https://www.jpost.com/deals/article-811921
That first step, taken before "dealing" with Netanyahoo, would simply let Israel steamroll through. Hamas is the only thing slowing Net's army down.
American politicians by supporting Netanyahu are basically telling the world tyrants, "Hey, we're just like you. Now listen to us....!!!" Biden and the rest of congress has done a great favor. Lost all of what had remained of its credibility.
Netanyahu Says He Will Keep Working With Biden After 2024 Exit Israeli leader’s visit highlighted Democratic split over war Netanyahu slated to meet Harris later, Trump on Friday Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office of the White House on July 25. Photographer: Samuel Corum/Sipa/Bloomberg By Jenny Leonard July 25, 2024 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...with-biden-after-2024-exit?srnd=homepage-asia Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked President Joe Biden for his support of Israel and pledged to continue working together at a meeting marking the US leader’s first sit-down with a foreign counterpart since forgoing reelection. “From a proud Jewish Zionist to a proud Irish-American Zionist, I want to thank you for 50 years of public service and 50 years of support for the state of Israel,” Netanyahu said Thursday in the Oval Office. Netanyahu said the two had “known each other for 40 years,” adding, “I look forward to working with you in the months ahead.” Despite the public display of goodwill, the two leaders have clashed over Israel’s conduct of the war against Hamas, designated a terrorist group by the US and European Union. The meeting comes at a politically fraught time for Biden’s party. Democrats are heading into the November election against Republican Donald Trump with Vice President Kamala Harris as their likely nominee and the conflict in Gaza has threatened to fracture their electoral coalition. Harris has expressed more empathy for Palestinian suffering than Biden throughout the war. Earlier: Netanyahu Vows to Press On in Gaza in Defiant Speech to Congress Netanyahu’s visit has put a spotlight on those tensions. He delivered a fiery address to Congress on Wednesday that defended Israel’s war, dismissed concerns about the mounting civilian death toll in Gaza and urged the US to fast-track weapons to help his country achieve victory. The speech was boycotted by many top Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and drew massive protests near the US Capitol. Video footage showed some demonstrators pulling down a US flag near Washington Union Station and setting it on fire. Netanyahu in his speech called the protesters “useful idiots” for Hamas’ backer, Iran. Netanyahu is also seeking to foster ties with Trump, with a visit Friday to the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort. The two enjoyed a close relationship during Trump’s presidency but they split over Netanyahu’s recognition of Biden’s 2020 election victory. Harris on Thursday denounced what she called “despicable acts by unpatriotic protestors and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric” in Washington. Harris said in a statement she supported the “right to peacefully protest” but condemned the burning of the American flag, saying “it should never be desecrated in that way.” Netanyahu’s address made no direct mention of a cease-fire proposal put forward by Biden. Senior administration officials said Wednesday that negotiations for a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas are continuing. Netanyahu, however, repeated his stance that the war will not end until Hamas is destroyed. The Israeli leader is also slated to meet Harris later Thursday. Republicans have assailed the vice president for not attending Netanyahu’s speech, casting it as a show of disrespect. Harris would have sat behind him on the dais, but was in Indianapolis for a previously planned event.
