Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu summoned US Ambassador Dan Shapiro after yesterday’s Gaza ceasefire crumbled just 90 minutes in, lashing the US policy and warning them to not “ever second guess me again on Hamas.” He went on to insist the US should just trust him to handle things.
Yet another day and a half has underscored exactly how much second-guessing Netanyahu should warrant, as his entire premise and narrative since the collapse of the ceasefire has been proven flat false.
The first notion is that Hamas violated the ceasefire, when in fact the ceasefire terms explicitly did not give Israel any permission to attack tunnels, and the “violation” was actually Hamas fighters inside a tunnel responding to an Israeli attack.
Beyond that is the Netanyahu government’s claim was that Hamas kidnapped an Israeli soldier, justifying a further escalation. By today, this too was false, and Israel conceded that the soldier was actually already dead.
Netanyahu is right, don't second guess that murderous son-of-a-pig. Send the freak to the ICC at the Hague to answer for his crimes against humanity.
Yes. I agree. Send this monster to the ICC for WAR CRIMES and CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
Killing unarmed and innocent people is easy to do in Gaza or elsewhere, but Netanyahu army was defeated by HAMAS during the 2006 Israel Lebanon invasion. Is just that Neo fascism never admits to its defeats, Hitler didn't but the guilt made him killing himself.
Technical Note: It was Hezbollah ("Army of God") who defeated Israel in 2006, not Hamas. There has been a little internecine bickering between Hez and Hamas until quite recently (over Hamas' nominal support for ISIS in Syria). But recently Hezbollah's leader Nasrallah has indicated his full solidarity with Hamas and Gaza.
Pedantic itches scratched. Now back to regular programming! 🙂
Sorry for misinfo, I meant to say hezbollah, but thinking of what the Israeli regim is doing to people of Gaza and the name of HAMAS, I guess that's why I made that mistake.
The arrogance of this repugnant and smug fascist dink continues to astound me. He gets away with actual murder, and American leadership simply cannot get enough of whatever he dishes out. However humiliating, rude, insulting, condescending, dismissive, threatening, etc, they can't kiss his fat ass fast enough. Like humble servants, and hardly becoming of the world's sole superpower, as America was formerly known. These public displays of cravenness are disgusting and sad.
Is there ANYONE who isn't afraid to straighten up, grow a goddamn backbone and tell this guy to go f*ck himself? So many cowards! So little guts! So lockstep in their adoration of not just him, but EVERY one of the previous Israeli thug leaders! Will we ever dare to defy them?
He's no better than a dictator of a rogue state with WMD. He's a dangerous little bastard and is long overdue to be cut down to size.
I assume that "diplomatic" conversations are normally confidential. The fact we know about this one suggests to me that there is actually a huge struggle going on behind the scenes between NuttyYahoo's gang and Obama's gang. NuttyYahoo had better tone down the insults a little – payback's a bitch!
Who are these "sources familiar with conversations", and who authorized them to leak these conversations? Guess we'll have to wait for the next Snowden to find out…
It is time for the world leaders to apply the same standards to Israel as to Russia, China, Iran and others.
Stop acting as you owe them anything. Stop feeling guilty for anything that happened in the past. Ignore their drama of perpetual victimhood and continuous whining about impending threat from those who want to push them to the sea. As freely as you "quote" the statements of "desire" of Iran, Hamas and others to wipe them out from the map keep quoting statements of holy rabbis who want to exterminate Arabs, e.g.. Yisrael Rosen, director of the Tsomet Institute, Noam Perel – the leader World Bnei Akiva youth movement and many others.
Be fair…just fair. Don't be afraid to be fair and just.
This message should go to the men and women of the US armed forces. You are cowards, your country is being spat on, your leached on, abused and your politicians don't dare to speak. Go kill some third world women and children you yellow bastards.
“He’s a dangerous little bastard and is long overdue to be cut down to size.”
And an ungrateful parasite living off the US host whose blood and treasure he sucks. And a strategic disadvantage to boot. And I’ll bet he’s involved up to his neck in the 9/11 attacks, which not have happened without state support. This slimebag needs to be smacked down hard.
At the beginning of every new US Congress, the leadership organizes a trip for the Freshman class to visit Israel. I wonder if this is to indoctrinate the new Congresscritters and inform them how they will act/react when Israel tells them their version of events. And they're also informed how Israel will act/react if the Congresscritter attempts to go off script.
But, that's just this old Curmudgeon's opinion…
And; these Freshman "congressmen" need to be warned never to "second-guess" the little "Hitler of the Jordan", on anything.
I think these junkets are for taxpayer paid for frontal lobotomies. They all come back bleating the same nonsense about how wonderful Israel is.
I also heard prostitution is legal in Tel Aviv. Giving them a free tour is a great way to spring the honey traps — complete with videos — of Amerika's righteous reps. They caught Menendez in the Dominican Republic with underage prostitutes. He was flown there by one of his biggest campaign contributors who just happens to be a rabid zionist. Local papers covered it for a day. Next day the prostitute said she lied. The NJ Rep is the war mongering head of the Foreign Relations Committee who can't do enough for Israhell. Wonder why …
Send the marines into Gaza with Navy and air force support to provide UN aid and help rebuild Gaza. Kick Israel out and arrest Nutanyahoo!
And to think we give these people billions of dollars every year.
"And I'll bet he's involved up to his neck in the 9/11 attacks, which not have happened without state support."
Take a look at the people with connections to Netanyahu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Clean_Break:_A_New…
There's your answer.
