Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today defended the growing civilian toll in his nation’s invasion of the Gaza Strip, particularly those deaths in today’s attacks on Shujaiyeh, while touting the ongoing war as an “historic battle” for Israel’s survival.
Netanyahu insisted that “we asked in every way for the civilian population to leave,” and that Hamas was to blame for every civilian who wasn’t able to flee the onslaught.
Some 50,000 Gazans have already fled their homes, but given the strip’s tiny size and that neither Israel nor Egypt is letting in civilian refugees, there aren’t really places for them to go.
Netanyahu went on to insist that the “international legitimacy” of the invasion was not in question and that Israel enjoys “very strong support” worldwide for continuing the attacks
There is a similarity between Netanyahu and Barack Hussein Obama, Kerry, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden all of them are lier and never stop lying.
There is no historic to Netanyahu's killings of children and bombing hospitals in Gaza, what historic about it is that Adolph Hitler and his fascist regime were doing the same.
This murdering Zionist scum knows he won't have to answer for his atrocities.
O-boom-er, Biden, Kerry, and Clinton have one thing in common with this criminal.
Neither one of them are worth a damn.
The similarity is more to HITLER
Uh no, Hitler was avoiding civilian targets during the Battle of Britain until allies began terror bombing German cities.
“historic battle” for Israel’s survival.
Indeed. It's PR game was looking horribly weak. What with the failure of it's perennially bloodthirsty lobby to get us into both Iran and Syria and all. As well as the neocon involvement in Ukraine… What they surely needed was a show of the strength of their dishonesty that could only come from persuading millions of US morons that e.g. three deaths requires a military response replete with collective punishment…that one can pretty much assume their favorite witch involved in anything they don't like…that they're really a more humane type of sadist, what with the minute or so given to evacuate prior to demolition by missile, etc. Sure did need a collective pride building operation.
Mr. Netanyahou – your "very strong support" is coming strictly from your other bloodthirsty tribal members and your paid lackeys; everyone else condemns what Israel is doing.
The "historic" aspect of this atrocity is the mostly universal lack of protest of Israeli actions by governments around the world. The excuses being offered by the Israelis lack substance, logic, and any sense of humanity. And the rest of the world sits by afraid to stand up for the oppressed and dispossessed.
Bring on lots more BDS. It is the only thing that Israel and the US understand and easy for the rest of us to implement as our governments evidently are far too cowardly and in the pocket of the US to represent the will of the majority of their citizens.
It is not a war — It is genocide
Today Israel bombed a Gaza hospital, fatalities according to The Guardian, which begs the question — The voting majority in Israel, the educated upper half of society that hoards all the wealth in Israel, do they not know that such acts of terror maximize profit in the trading of Western war materials for Middle-East oil?
Yesterday Israel dropped burning white phosphorus on little kids in Gaza, no doubt so that the crowds in all the lawn chairs on the bluffs overlooking such sadistic mess can have something new and thrilling to cheer about.
Genocide of the natives…mostly slow, sometimes quick. Netanyahu and his Old Testament pretend-a-kooks need blood sacrifice for their crazy religion, enabled to stretch the crap out of that whole Holocaust guilt thing, up to and including the point where they get to do their own extermination campaign and everyone either looks away or cheers them on…
Personally I think these bloodthirsty cretins have small weiners and get off on being tough and dominating, the sight of spilled blood gives them a sick thrill.
Sounds like rabid dogs who need to be put down if you ask me.
Paul Craig Roberts wrote the other day that the Soviet Union never collapsed. It just changed addresses to Washington. I'll add my own, The nazis didn't lose WWII, they moved to Tel Aviv.
