I'm hearing on the streets that in our 'free country,' you're not allowed to criticize #Netanyahu in any way, shape or form for anything he says or does or you will be canceled - even if you're Jewish.
My daughter just canceled her 2024 birthright trip. My accountant canceled his annual Tel Aviv vacation. My friend canceled her Jerusalem art exhibition. None canceled out of fear. All canceled on principal. We can cancel you too, Bibi the Butcher. Jews are not a monolith.
Poll finds 86% of Israeli Jews "said the surprise attack from Gaza is a failure of the country's leadership" and 56% think Bibi should resign after the conflict ends.
Guessing that's not quite the rally-around-the-flag effect he was hoping for.
“Judaism does not imply support for the far-right Netanyahu government.”
Netanyahu is a Trump-like figure leading a fascist faction in Israel, and the longer we take to make that clear, the more American Jews will be endangered. #uspol#trump#maga#israel#netanyahu#likud#fascism
Mehdi Hasan to Mark Regev, senior Netanyahu advisor:
“If Hamas gunmen were hiding out in a school in Tel Aviv or in an apartment block in Haifa, would you be OK with the Israeli military dropping bombs on those buildings, leveling them, killing the innocent Israelis inside in order to get the Hamas gunmen? Would you do that?”
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy.”
International Criminal Court, last Monday: seeks arrest warrants for Benjamin #Netanyahu and Yoav #Gallant for criminal responsibility in starvation of civilians and crimes against humanity.
International Court of Justice, Friday: “Israel must immediately halt its military offensive and any other action in Rafah which may inflict on the Palestinian group in #Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”
If you care to stop the global rise of fascism, you would support the Israelis trying to get rid of #Bibi & break his fascist coalition; these folks. Whose beloved family members Bibi sacrificed to keep grip on power & to exploit the fog of war to push forward the settler coalition’s fascist plans for Israel—which Israelis have been fighting against.
“Families who lost loved ones in the Hamas attacks…can no longer stand the fact that this man is still prime minister.
"Ultra-Orthodox members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right coalition want to expand the powers of all-male rabbinical courts, and to bar women and men from mixing in many public arenas. ...
The Israeli news media has been full of reports in recent months about incidents seen as discriminatory."
"Americans would do well to observe the lessons unfolding in Israel. Returning a strongman to power, who will actively seek to undermine the judiciary, civil institutions and the rule of law in pursuit of his own personal goals and to escape legal accountability, will result in political chaos as the citizenry protests his moves."
#France's Macron warns Israel's #Netanyahu that forced Rafah population transfer could be 'war crime' + France raises security alert level following 'threats', says PM—AFP
The account and ballastics of the #IDF strike on #WorldCentralKitchen vehicles leave absolutely ZERO room for doubt: #Israel deliberately targeted the aid agency in #Gaza. The clearly marked vehicles were spread out over a 1.5 mile route previously agreed with the IDF. They were targeted in succession, as passengers from the first vehicle were fleeing to the 2nd, then 3rd vehicle. These things don't happen by 'mistake' as #Netanyahu pretends with a smile. https://www.channel4.com/news/three-british-aid-workers-in-gaza-killed-in-israel-airstrike
President #Biden told #Netanyahu an "immediate ceasefire is essential to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation and protect innocent civilians," according to a White House readout of their call.
ADDED: “President Biden told Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday that future U.S. support for Gaza war depends on new steps to protect civilians and aid workers” https://apnews.com/article/3591fb5f82b22cf8e5d1060fccaef115
“Bibi has been working all his life on the false pretense that he is Mr. Security. He’s Mr. Bullshit. Every minute he is prime minister he is a danger to Israel.”
-Former Israeli PM
President #Biden said for the first time Wednesday he would halt shipments of American weapons to #Israel – which he acknowledged have been used to kill civilians in #Gaza – if Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu orders a major invasion of the city of Rafah.
The PM of Israel is warmongering & he's calling for genocide. He's not using any restraint:
Today: Netanyahu: "You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible"
1 Samuel 15:3
"Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass."
What with Pres Biden do? Netanyahu is a crazed, bellicose fascist.
Multiple news sites report that the Netanyahu govt, via its MIN of Diaspora Affairs, ran a multi-M$ AI-powered disinfo. campaign designed to generate support for their Gaza war among US elected officials & gen. public.
