This shithead's genocide is going to birth a new generation of vengeful extremists out of the ashes of Gaza for the rest of the world to deal with, in the future
By design. Fascists need an enemy to protect people from, in order to justify their cruelty. And they need a underclass to oppress, to demonstrate their power.
If they can make one out of the other - why, that's just efficiency.
Thus the cycle continues. Come the end of humanity, the last two people in the middle east will still be throwing rocks at each other.
Hey look. Its what we've been telling you it was the whole time. A genocidal eradication of a people to take their land.
The weakness of western 'democracies' is disgusting.
To a certain extent. But aren't the countries in the near vicinity the most able?
That's the problem.
The western democracies aren't weak like TropicalDingDong says, their governments have chosen their side.
And if the neighboring countries do anything about it, the western democracies will take action.
The inaction isn't due to inability, but due to apathy for the Palestinians.
Saudi Arabia and the Arab world could ban the sale of oil and see biden prostrate, nobody gives a fuck about them because you can’t make money from them and being a religious minority (in the west at-least) is the icing on the cake, not to say they care about their religious brothers, it was never a reason for anything other than oppression of people they don’t like.

Like I said above, most Middle Eastern governments who aren't aligned with Iran have been tamed by the US using both carrots and sticks. Saudi Arabia wants their weapons, Egypt wants its aid, etc etc.
The Saudis' also wouldn't be anywhere near as successful with an oil squeeze today as they were in the 70s.
It's Western democracies that tamed Middle Eastern countries to make sure they're always on Israel's side, or at least effectively neutral. You can see it from Saudi Arabia's weapons and war in Yemen to Egypt's aid; the US spends a lot of money and political capital to buy the Middle East's cooperation in Israel's Apartheid/genocide project. And if that wasn't enough, they deployed strike carriers to make sure nobody intervenes militarily.
Oh, look, an open admission of genocidal intent.
Should be useful in the court case against Israel.
These are the quotes this article is based on according to another news outlet, and it is unsure if the translation (especially the wording for the proclaimed statement in the title) is up for debate since there are multiple translations.
(“from the river to the sea,” according to an English translation on the Israeli news channel i24NEWS.
According to other translations, Netanyahu said that Israel “must have security control over the entire territory west of the Jordan River,”)
"Every area that we evacuate we receive terrible terror against us. It happened in South Lebanon, in Gaza, and also in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank] which we did it.”
“And therefore I clarify that in any other arrangement, in the future, the state of Israel has to control the entire area from the river to the sea.”
"This truth I say to our American friends,” Netanyahu said Thursday. “And I also stopped the attempt to impose on us a reality that will jeopardize us. A prime minister in Israel has to be able to say no, even to the best of friends. To say no when you need to and to say yes when you can.”
Does anybody know what "proposal" the USA made that he's referencing?
It's all behind-closed-door conversations, but one can only assume some form of self-governance in Gaza given the US continues to push for a two-state solution despite supporting the Israelis as they, you know, wipe out one of those states.
What Bibi is saying, here, is that even that small modicum of Palestinian agency will be eliminated and Gaza will formally become the open air prison it's unofficially been for decades.
It's ok when Zionist colonisers say "from the river to the sea" but it's hate speech when the original inhabitants or their supporters say it
Ahhh there it is. The PM of Israel just said he plans to violate the treaties and annex Gaza and the West Bank. By ejecting these people from their homeland or just wholesale killing them, that's fucking genocide. It really never was about Hamas. And Hamas still exists.
Or, like JJJ would put it in the Bugle: "Bibi goes unashamedly Nazi".
I hate him so much. Way before the Gaza war. He's an alt right tyrant regardless of his religion.
Don't call Zionists Jews.
Zionists are a disgrace using Judaism only as a shield for their war crimes.
Netanyahu is quite literally a white surpremacist that just wants to kill brown people and expand the Lebensraum.
Nazism isn't a religion.
Being a fascist doesn't stop you being Jewish any more than being a slavemaster stopped the pilgrims from being Christian
“For 30 years, I am very consistent and I am saying something very simple: this conflict is not on the lack of a state of Palestinians, but the existence of a state, the Jewish state,” Netanyahu said, according to a translation on i24NEWS. “Every area that we evacuate we receive terrible terror against us. It happened in South Lebanon, in Gaza, and also in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank] which we did it.”
It turns out, when you terrorize people and steal their land for decades they are still angry at you when you('re forced to) let them borrow some of their land back while continuing to terrorize them.
So...they just lost the international court case then, no? He legit just said "we're taking it over."
'Course, this is me just being hopeful there is some recourse for the blatant disregard for humans 🫤
We literally have Jewish Nazis
I forgot this was a thing, WHY WAS THIS A THING!?!?
every large group of people is going to have some psychopaths / terminally stupid
It's definitely best not to forget that, because it's about to happen in America.
Motherfuckers aint been payin attention.
I’m sure all the people pissed that Rashida Talib used those words will be equally upset about Bibi saying it. /s
But Bibi is white, so... /s
So he's finally admitted it. I'm guessing there will be silence from the people that said Israel was definitely going to give Gaza back to Palestine after Hamas was gone.
It certainly seems like all roads are leading to a big war soon. Storms a comin fellas. Enjoy what we have now.
And if this turns into a big war it's because the west continues to back the bad guys.
"From the river to the sea" is just a fancy way of saying "Lebensraum"
Isn't it ironic...dontcha' think...
AKA Revisionist Zionism.
And what a coincidence-- Bibi just so happens to come from a family that ascribes to that specific variant of Zionism!
Hubris is thy name. The seeds of the next Holocaust is planted. Thanks, Netanyahu!
I thought they'd wait longer before doing this. Don't they want to tease the West a bit longer? See if they can get more weapons and stuff? Or are they calling their bluff, knowing they'll give them stuff no matter what they say at this point?
Of course he says this, all of his actions for the last thirty years have telegraphed this intent. War is how he stays in power, and he takes it personally.
Nice chap that one ☝️
