I’m not against the Palestinian people or the people of Israel. I believe they can work together for a peaceful relationship. It won’t be easy in view of long standing grievances but it won’t be possible as long as Netanyahu is prime minister. To me, what he is doing to innocent people in the Gaza is no better than what Hitler done to the Warsaw Ghetto. I hope the Israeli people dumps his government.

But we still give him weapons to blow up schools and hospitals and housing units…we are part of the problem there, and if enough of us finally are able to accept that genocide is wrong, maybe enough people will start speaking truth to power and make that change.

And Biden Harris knew it all along including the true death count which they blocked in November.

In trying to edit, it won’t let me. So I will say the armed drones aim for their head an body.

In following this this for quite awhile, I’m quite sure many of us knew this was his intent. In fact reading about it a year ago, it was mentioned that this was his plan from the beginning. One thing I quite sure you are aware of, he is conducting bomb strikes in an area where he has forced the Palestinians to go, the bombs cause the people and children to fall or be injured but not always die. Then the armed drones come in and shoot the people dead. It aims for their head and body. First the bombs followed by armed drones to complete the targeted genocide on civilians in a place where there isn’t any escape.

The end of the Gaza war is probably the end of Nethanyahu being Prime Minister, which means he will be back on trial for corruption. Which he is definitely guilty off. His coalition have also threatened him with deposing him if he didn't continue the war. I don't think they had to put a proverbial gun to his head. The man have no concience.

As long as bibi is in power he will keep the war going. He knows if it stops he is finished. He has gone totally authoritarian and I do believe he knew about and was involved in the October 7 attack. He was in on it.

This is absolutely his personal vendetta to stay out of prison in the final years of his life. I wish more in media would have the integrity to call that out for what it is.

Netanyahu what’s for his cronies all the natural gas reserves under Gaza. He wants to make sure that those reserves are protected. American what control of the Middle East resources and therefore allow Genocide to continue. It’s America genocide, period.

Netanyahu has no interest in Israeli hostages, or in any Israelis. His decision to annex the Gaza Strip was predetermined. Oct 7 of last year was his excuse, and his opportunity. Yes, as Michelle Burton points out, "Netanyahu WANTED this war." He was trying to execute it slightly more subtly before Hamas gave him the excuse he needed. Beth Jane Freeman states it very clearly: Netanyahu simply wants to eliminate all Palestinians (because he wants all their land). Yes, Louis Ross, that's what Netanyahu is saying: "Every Palestinian must die." But not "first," as if Israel's security depended on it.

Huley Brown certainly asks the central question: "Why are we still arming this man?" And running interference for him in the UN and ICC and ICJ? And the question is not about "we," but about Biden. The answer to that question has nothing to do with being a Zionist, of which, as Dan Nelson quotes, Biden claims to be proud.

Janet (CO) is certainly right to say that Netanyahu is corrupt to the core. It is less clear that Biden knows this. As for Pamela McDonald's comment, Netanyahu is far worse than Sinwar. At least Sinwar had a cause for complaint.

October 7th was a false flag operation, where the Israeli military, killed the majority of the people.

Enough is already too much! This is too like the Russia/Ukrane

Why are we still arming this man? The arms need to stop being supplied! It is a sad day when our country’s leaders continue to be complicit in genocide.

Even more so when you consider that they're willing to tank their electoral chances against a sundowning sociopathic fascist and his band of merry evil-doing ghouls in the process.

...in one swing state, Wisconsin, during the (D) primary over 48,000 people voted "uncommitted". The margin Biden won the state by in 2020 was just over 21,000 votes. In Pennsylvania more than 60.000 people voted uncommitted. The 2020 margin for Biden's victory there was 80,000 votes. With Michigan, where over 100,000 [uncommitted votes were cast, that makes a total of 44 electoral votes that could go the wrong way..

“I’m proud to call myself a Zionist!” - Repetitively said by Joe Biden over the last 40 years.

And now a mantra that has been fully endorsed by Kamala Harris, purely as a matter of craven political expedience.

Yet the State Department has blamed and continues to blame only Hamas at every press briefing.

Despite the State Dept's own members admitting in writing that Israel is committing war crimes. It's outrageous.

Netanyahu is corrupt to the core and the Biden administration knows this. He will never negotiate; he needs to be stopped by being expelled by the Israeli people, and the US and our allies must stop arming him. Thank goodness for newspapers like Haaretz that speak truth to power.

The Biden administration is also corrupt to the core.

I would have to disagree. There’s a difference between making mistakes and being corrupt to the core. Now run along and leave me alone.

Netanyahu WANTED this war! That’s why HE was funding Hamas!!

Expand full comment

There is very good evidence that he knew of this attack before it even happened. Reports show that Egypt warned him that an attack by Hamas was imminent, and he completely ignored the information that was shared with him.

thank you…

this article seems more accurate and believable than anything i have read to date…

Thank you. I make sure I provide a verifiable reference to every fact I state. It’s crucial we maintain truth and facts in all we do.

Netanyahu wants to ultimately eliminate all of the Palestinians, and I think that was his intent even before the October 7th uprising. He created the conditions that led to the unrest. The worst part is that it looks very much like the way our Jewish ancestors were oppressed by The Spanish Inquisition, the Czars of Russia, and, of course, Hitler. That I find this particularly disturbing.

Oct 7th was a false flag operation so Israel could commit genocide and steal land. This is common knowledge for anyone who’s truthful.

Netanyahu is being very stubborn about the situation that he, in large part, helped to create. Israel was supposed to be a haven for oppressed Jews that were living in countries where they were persecuted or made to feel unwanted, and a lot of these oppressed Jews came, but a lot of Jews from places where they were safe, like the US, pulled up stakes & moved to Israel. That is selfish. These people should come to Israel and visit, visit often, invest in the country, study there, have your wedding or child’s bar mitzvah there. Israel is a small country, you can’t just invite everyone to move there. It is not possible to have a democratic country composed solely of people one faith, and making it hard for people of other faith to live there. It just doesn’t work! The only other place that is a country of one faith, is The Vatican, and that is basically the home for The Pope isn’t like all the other countries. It doesn’t even have much of a population.
