JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel would “crush and destroy” Hamas in response to its attack.
Netanyahu said every Hamas member was a “dead man.”
Netanyahu made the remarks in a late-night televised address as Israeli planes pounded Gaza in response to the unprecedented attack.
Netanyahu failed to protect his people from rape, mutilation, and murder. His administration helped Hamas secure power in Gaza. He is a failure for the nation, as all fascists ultimately are for their nations.
Yeah but now he gets to externalize his failures which is a fascist’s dream
He is now making up for those failures in defense with a strong offense.
Funny way to spell war crimes.
And how exactly is he supposed to “make up” for all the dead civilians? Killing a bunch of Palestinians won’t bring anyone back.
Hamas is holding kidnapped civilians as prisoners. Getting them back would be a large part of making up for defensive failures.
He is talking about crushing Hamas, not getting prisoners back.
Crushing Hamas, the people kidnapping civilians en-mass, is…bad? Is…not something that should be done?
What exactly do you think will happen to the hostages when Ol’ Netty starts crushing?
Goalposts on wheels.
Consider that prior shows of strength are exactly why things are where they are. Which then raises the question- is this really making up for any thing? Is dead enemies really enough to make up for dead friends, dead parents or dead children?
Or is it really just a perpetuation and escalation of the problem? A continuation of a pattern where they kill your friends, parents, brothers and sisters, and children, so you kill their parents, brothers and sisters and children, leading to more and ever increasing retaliation?
Yes, Hamas are objectively terrible, and are commuting atrocities and are terrorists. But, the Israeli government aren’t the saints here.
