Israel's criminal defendant prime minister, more focused on saving his incompetent far-right government than saving the hostages who have spent seven months trapped in Gaza, is doing everything he can to torpedo Israel's last and best chance at bringing the hostages home
"Hysteria for political reasons," Minister Benny Gantz termed the statement issued over the weekend by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (also known as "the diplomatic official"), in which he reiterated that with or without a temporary pause in the fighting for the release of our hostages, "We will enter Rafah and eliminate the remaining Hamas battalions."
Later, before the end of Shabbat, Netanyahu sent another announcement, in which he denied reports saying Israel had agreed to a cease-fire as part of a deal.
Netanyahu had hoped that the Egyptian proposal, which was more far-reaching than anything he had been willing to accept in the past, would be rejected by Hamas. Over the weekend, when the negotiations took a positive turn, Netanyahu found himself in distress, as was expressed by his flurry of statements. Given our familiarity with his family environment, including his pampered son on the front in Miami, his fright is indeed understandable.
Netanyahu never intended to stop the genocide/ war on Gaza, he made that clear:
- Netanyahu tells Blinken he will not end war on Hamas in Gaza as part of hostage deal.
- Netanyahu vows to invade Rafah ‘with or without a deal’ as cease-fire talks with Hamas continue.
Why would Hamas even accept the ''deal'' if Israel anyway will invade Rafah that has all the innocent Palestinian civillians?
They also shut down AlJezeera news and Israel claims they are the ''only democracy in the Middle East'': Israel orders Al Jazeera to shut down as Netanyahu rejects peace talks.
about the last part, the eu banned rt and sputnik news.
does that mean eu countries aren't democracies?Last part as in ''Israel claims they are the ‘‘only democracy in the Middle East''?
I refer to this not only because they shutdown Al Jazeera but also their entire regime. They call themselves an democratic country in the Middle East but we all know:
- They have an Apartheid regime (Two different laws. One for Israeli and one for Palestinian).
- They sent Palestinian people unfair to prison.
- Palestinian people have unfair judgement.
- They shutdown Al Jazeera (I'm not even sure if they gave an actual reason but if they did; can we trust it? They have been known for lying to the world).
- Netanyahu has been Prime Minister for so long while majority do not even want him as a Prime Minister.
- People who humiliate Palestinian often do not get punished by law.
How can you call such an state ''democratic''?
EDIT 1: If you want, I can get news-sources for each claim.
EDIT 2: Checking upon your comment history, you’ve been spamming that particular sentence. So I’m curious why you are defending an state that is on paper “democratic” but in reality is not.
As I understand it, the English and Arabic channels are very different editorially, with the latter being rather controversial and biased to the Muslim Brotherhood1. The English channel even wrote about the division themselves2.
This is something, in addition to that censorship exists in the west/everywhere (and arguably is favourable in certain forms), that should be kept in mind regarding Aljazeera. I must honestly say, I did not read more upon this, so feel free to correct or specify.

Yes the EU isn't a Democracy either.
UK surgeon who described Gaza ‘massacre’ denied entry to France
Im not someone who wants us involved in this at all but yeah. From the start we knew Netanyahu wasnot the hero.
The US and other western powers are involved though. We write blank checks, cover for Israel, and send them weapons and munitions.
yes. I would prefer we not do that. I don't think we should have shot down any missiles even.
A relief to read that Israel and Palestine's leaders are going to such extraordinary lengths to simplify this predicament we find ourselves in
There are too many human biases in the mix for there to be any fairness, and to top it all off there are no real democracies left in the world. It seems that no one can stop the ruling classes from behaving in such a dastardly way. I'm gonna do a big ass dab and not worry about it.
