‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms
Israeli prime minister says country can ‘stand alone’ and cites the ‘heroism and arms embargo’ of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war
Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah.
Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, was speaking on Thursday after Israeli and Hamas delegations left the ceasefire negotiations in Cairo.
It was unclear whether the talks had broken down or simply paused, but the failure to reach an agreement on this week’s round of meetings raised apprehension of an imminent Israeli attack on Rafah.
Netanyahu appeared to shrug off a public warning from the US president, Joe Biden, the previous night that if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a major offensive on the city the US would not provide bombs and artillery shells to support the operation.
OK. Do it.
A) Most people don't believe that the only way Israel is able to fight off the evil Palestinians is because of bid daddy US.
B) The 13,000 Palestinian children you have murdered would've been happy to be able to defend themselves against fingernails.
lol did he think that made them sound strong or tough, or does he realize it makes him sound like an emotional manbaby?
Emotionally disturbed if you ask me
My first thought was that he's starting to sound like Putin.
"we". mfer is sending other people to war. he is not involved in any fighting. eff outta here
It's not a war. It's a genocide.
A number of high profile Israel failkids have gotten themselves killed doing insane bullshit in Gaza since the bombing started. The war cabinet minister Gadi Eizenkot's son headed a commando raid into northern Gaza in the middle of a bombing run. Very likely he was killed in friendly fire, under orders from his own father.
Much like the 30 year old Brigadier General and his 20 subordinates who killed themselves dynamiting the home of a slaughtered Palestinian family, he's become collateral damage in his country's bloodthirsty rampage of revenge.
When you play the victim role one (or rather 50) times too many.
According to Israel, everyone is against Israel
Sometimes, when everything is shit, check your shoes instead of telling others that they are shit
If you perfectly obey israel and wag your tail for them you are allowed to exist.
The second anyone pushes back in the slightest against their Nazi regime trying to execute a Holocaust they are instantly slandered as Hamas.
Israel has no qualms throwing loyal dogs that have been supporting them for their entire lives, just look at Genocide Joe getting labeled as Hamas the second he draws any lines.
These are not people that can be negotiated with. The are extremist maniacs.
I mean, this is a core trait of narcissism.
Sounds like they don't need any help. Good to hear. Now maybe we can stop providing billions in support each year.
Finally might be a fair fight
Lmao we had identical thoughts on this.
Maybe the US should just stop arming Israel and give the arms to Gaza instead and see how that plays out.
I can't believe this bullshit has gone on for so long
Nobody can believe the shit has gone on so far with Russia and Ukraine but here we are 2 years later.
This conflict with Israel is looking to go on for just as long if not longer.
For sure, Hamas would never use the weapons for anything else than in a pure defensive manner. Can guarantee it.
Hamas is a wholesome book club.
/S
Atleast they don't use white phosphorus on civilians and blast children with tanks at point blank.
/s oh wait the s is not required
my brother in christ, this is exactly the point. isis-ra-el is only emboldened by foreign weapons. cut that shit in half and give the other half to the palestinians and shit changes. without foreign support vis-a-vis british zionists in the 30s and 40s and current american tax money isis-ra-el would have been de-platformed already
Pay attention to this, America. This is a desperate politician facing embarrassment, criminal prosecution, prolonged jail and international ridicule for the rest of his life if this "war" doesn't perpetrate indefinitely. This is how trump will hold the US hostage if your boomer aunts and uncles in the swing state suburbs elect him again.
And preceded by a coup if he doesn't get elected?
He won't be able to stage a coup this time because he won't be able to kneecap the defenses.
They try it again they're going to have more than just one Babbit.
Israel has already been preparing for this eventuality for years. They’re not as dependent on US aid as one might think. They had started working towards reducing their dependence on US military aid specifically because of US presidents trying to set milquetoast restrictions like, “Please stop committing war crimes so openly.” And our aid makes up much less of their GDP (though still something like $3+ billion/year). Likely they’ll just take their business elsewhere to countries more willing to ignore war crimes. We should still stop providing aid to them though, they’re a belligerent country and committing war crimes & genocide.
I kinda wanna see Israel start weapons development with China. Just to see people lose their shit.
take their business elsewhere to countries more willing to ignore war crimes.
Like where? The US is basically the only country backing Israel right now, in spite of every other western country. I doubt Russia or China will jump at the opportunity, and pretty much all their middle eastern neighbors have "death to Israel" in their constitution.
well fingernails are better than bombs and white phosphorous
Sounds like there isn't any issue if we stop all arms shipments then. See ya Bibi bitch.
Victimitation
That sounds a lot less likely to murder innocents.
They will also be fighting with:
- Toothpicks
- Plastic straws
- Cotton balls
- Rubber bands
- Feather boas
- Marbles
- Jump ropes
- Paper clips
- Marshmallows
- Bubbles
Don’t they have cows also? They could Monty Python and the Holy Grail-style attack them as well.
Fingernails and decades of US arms sales.
Send those interceptor missiles to Ukraine instead
Ok. Have fun.
PILE HIGH THE FINGERNAILS OF THE VANQUISHED OPPRESSOR, THAT NAGLFAR AT LAST MAY UNFURL HER SAILS FOR RAGNARÖK
Good, then let them fight with their fingernails. STOP ALL MONEY & WEAPONS TO ISRAEL.
This was the first thought that came to mind:
And I'm sure they'll be just as heroic.
Israel's ministry of peace said on Thursday that the withholding of arms would pose no obstacle to the swift end to the looming Hamas threat. They added - All previous Palestine land will be ready for Israel citizen settlements by next spring. /s In case that's necessary.
Jared Kushner says Gaza’s ‘waterfront property could be very valuable’
He said that if he were in charge of Israel his number one priority would be getting civilians out of the southern city of Rafah, and that “with diplomacy” it could be possible to get them into Egypt.
“But in addition to that, I would just bulldoze something in the Negev, I would try to move people in there,” he said. “I think that’s a better option, so you can go in and finish the job.”
He reiterated the point a little later, saying: “I do think right now opening up the Negev, creating a secure area there, moving the civilians out, and then going in and finishing the job would be the right move.”
Just need a little Lebensraum and we can get it with this Final Solution.
Netanyahu appeared to shrug off a public warning from the US president, Joe Biden, the previous night that if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a major offensive on the city the US would not provide bombs and artillery shells to support the operation.
Political theatre.
US keeps trying to pretend and appear rational, peaceful, trying to end "war", then ships a ton more to start the slaughter. Then US sends another warning…
The US is the really annoying parent in a grocery store counting to 3 over and over to try to get their child under control.
How about parachuting that asshole and his fingernails down in Gaza? I think that's a food idea. Preferably in two separated packages.
He demands his nailjob payed by someone or what?
Blah blah blah, go actuallt do it, I'm gonna enjoy the show, genocidal human stain...
Also was this nonCredibleDefense or what, for real?
He looks like an angry toddler in that picture
His skin tone is so different from everybody else's, it's weird.
Have fun with that.
I suggest calcium and vitamin d supplements, and rubbing in nail oil with vitamin e daily.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah.
Netanyahu appeared to shrug off a public warning from the US president, Joe Biden, the previous night that if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a major offensive on the city the US would not provide bombs and artillery shells to support the operation.
“Director Burns is departing the region as previously scheduled, but interlocutors from other delegations are still in discussions in Cairo, so those talks are still going on,” John Kirby, the national security spokesperson, told reporters.
A major offensive on the city of Rafah would threaten the lives of more than a million Gazans who have sought haven there and who have not received from Israel any serious provisions in terms of shelter, food, water and medical support.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, another far-right minister, posted “Biden - heart emoji - Hamas” on social media, but later said Israel should “respect our friends but also fight our enemies without considering other factors and without compromises”.
Dr Yonatan Freeman, an international relations expert at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said Biden’s announcement, far from pressuring Netanyahu, could strengthen the Israeli prime minister.
The original article contains 1,346 words, the summary contains 220 words. Saved 84%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Fuck absolutely everything about you, Netanyahu.
Let them
Sanctions are badly needed.
Fingernails is a euphemism for nukes.
Nukes in Palestine? Even Russia can't use nukes safely in Ukraine due to the potential pollution of their own territory.
Ridiculous that Biden is changing policy due to students protesting a war just because the aggressor/initiator is losing badly. He’s lost their votes already.
Hoping they take Rafah soon and eliminate every last Hamas jihadist and hopefully get some hostages back alive
Taking Rafah... Rafah has been occupied for the better part of a century, my dude, they're not taking land to root out terrorists. They're just killing people for the sake of killing people.
Got a source that they’re killing people just for the sake of it? I’m pretty sure they’re after these delightful people: https://thisishamas.com
