This situation is reminiscent of when the Israeli soldiers killed those 2 Israeli hostages who were basically naked and flying a white flag from memory.

I don't think you know enough about the conflict, a conflict that has been happening since the 47th parallel was drawn.Thats because you don't know enough about the conflict. Hamas are banking on good people such as yourself to buy into their victim narrative.
And that is payed with....public money. YAY!It's a never ending circle of shit where the rich get richer from the suffering of others.
War is big business and as before in Iraq and Afghanistan companies are lined up to offer their services, be granted huge contracts and make billions.
First in line are the weapons contractors and manafacturers who are reaping the rewards of everything being given to Israel and Ukraine. Both are being given huge amounts of weapons and equipment. Some old that needs to be replaced and lots more new as well.
Next in line will be the construction companies, emergency and water companies, surveyors, engineers & consultants lining up to help with the planning and rebuilding and of course then you have the private security companies contracted to protect them all. Behind all of this you have those lobbying and granting contracts and finally the shareholders who just sit back and watch the cash roll in. Obviously many politicians are involved too. All the while you have millions suffering and on the brink of starvation.
It's fecking grotesque and makes me feel sick to my stomach.
Sure, because his whole government is against him and the majority of Israel is against what he is doing in Gaza. This is not a Netanyahu problem, this is Israel society problem. Israel voted for Netanyahu and his government allies and is cheering for what is happening in Gaza. Chucking Netanhyau and say it was his fault and clean Israel hands would be a lieUnless Israelis can dispose of Netanyahu then there's not much hope here.
crazy that in 6 months he's been unable to achieve many of his goals.
He's probably spent upwards of $5b to flatten Gaza.
kill 30,000 people
created the next generation of Hamas
Alienated his closest allies
created a new generation of people globally that hate israel
Made Jews outside of Israel more unsafe.
he has to go

Israeli poilitics is complicated. A lot of Netanyahu's power comes from the orthodox parties, who are mostly interested in the money and budgets he gives them and their voters (who vote for those parties because the rabbi said so). That amounts to about 25% of the coalition.And he won’t go… because Israelis want him, just like they wanted him over the past 15 years (and in the 1990s).
He may lose the next election (if there’s any), but he can always return to power. Israel is a right-wing country. In fact, few parties that formed a coalition to push him out three years ago were from the right. They didn’t get him out because of his policies towards the Palestinians but because of domestic issues and personal reasons/interests.
I think about 250-350 Israeli troops have been killed in combat since they entered Gaza on the ground.Is there actually a war going on? How many Israelis have the Palestinians killed in the last four or five months?
I feel you should have added the words "total cnut and a terrorist sympathizer" in his biography there.Tweet

The protests against this government are as fierce as they have ever been, demonstrations everywhere, people fighting the police, trying to break into his house in Caesarea to give him some shit.Israelis need to wake up.
Did not know that! Apologies for the collective labeling! I'm glad to hear there are more sensible folks out there. I was feeling folks you and @Amir were among the minority.The protests against this government are as fierce as they have ever been, demonstrations everywhere, people fighting the police, trying to break into his house in Caesarea to give him some shit.
What can the citizens do if none of the parliament members want to quit the government.
64 MPs in the coalition against 56 that are in the opposition
They have no interest to have this government collapse, as a huge chunk of them will not get elected again (or so I hope, living on a cloud).
What do you do? assassinate the prime minister and his shithouse ministers?
you say "Israelis", but the rift in the public is monumental.
we're among the minority, but it's a very big one. very hard to quantify, but I wouldn't be surprised if we're talking about 25%-40% percent of the population that is in total despair and would give everything to see this man and his groupies disappear from this planet.Did not know that! Apologies for the collective labeling! I'm glad to hear there are more sensible folks out there. I was feeling folks you and @Amir were among the minority.
I still feel that the majority are not realizing Netanyahu's real intention here. He has no intention to eliminate Hamas. He needs them to justify the ethnic cleansing. No wonder, the IDF efforts have been futile!
The majority does not believe and trust Netanyahy anymore. Of course, that might have already been the case for some time, including his own coalition partners - who only joined him and remain with him in order to take advantage of him, knowing he's weak and will give them everything in order to remain in power. At the moment, though, some feel that wartime in not the right time to protest or hold election. They don't feel comfortable about it.I still feel that the majority are not realizing Netanyahu's real intention here. He has no intention to eliminate Hamas.

Aye, but unless the current govenment folds - and it has no reason to - there won't be an election for two-and-a-half years. So that's a long time for Netanyahu to recover. Which is exactly what he's aiming for.The latest polling from Ma’ariv has the current coalition at 44 seats (down from the 64 that brought them to power), with Netanyahu’s Likud at 17 (down from 32) and the potential opposition coalition at 66. All these out of total 120 seats. This pattern of opposition to the current coalition and especially Likud has remained fairly consistent for the last six months.
That's partly true and partly not.It's very naive to think most Israel population dont know what the hell is happening right now. They know full well what's happening and if push comes to the shove an election is held tomorrow with one nomination vowing for a ceasefire and a permanent two state he won't win the election and would probably be beaten pretty bad
Don’t you think the Haredi drafting issue might me able to break the Likud at some point ?Aye, but unless the current govenment folds - and it has no reason to - there won't be an election for two-and-a-half years. So that's a long time for Netanyahu to recover. Which is exactly what he's aiming for.
While the Orthodox parties are upset about this, they still don't have a better alternative outside the current govenment which at least gives them funds and may try to sort something out regarding the drafting issue. So I don't think it'll change much.Don’t you think the Haredi drafting issue might me able to break the Likud at some point ?
But the population doesn't make decisions. Netanyahu does. And because he's only interested in poilitics and holding on to power, he's trying to appease the public. What kind of leader is that?The truth is that the Israeli population is to the right of the government. We can make Netanyahu the bad guy all we like, but the truth is that the population has been whipped into a genocidal frenzy due to a perceived existential threat.
He's a politician. He is a shitbag, but he's behaving just like any other politician. If there is an election today, the next guy will be more extreme than Netanyahu. It's Israel that needs to carry this stain, not just Netanyahu.But the population doesn't make decisions. Netanyahu does. And because he's only interested in politics and holding on to power, he's trying to appease the public. What kind of leader is that?
According to the polling, if an election was held today Benny Gantz would be PM. Not such a significant change from Netanyahu in most practical terms, but certainly not more extreme. And the new coalition itself would be less extreme and possibly more susceptible to pressure from abroad and the hostage-family protest movement at home. Although Gantz and some other prospective members of that coalition are heavily implicated in the current carnage.He's a politician. He is a shitbag, but he's behaving just like any other politician. If there is an election today, the next guy will be more extreme than Netanyahu. It's Israel that needs to carry this stain, not just Netanyahu.
Let’s see, the protests are picking up in size and intensity in recent days. I really really doubt Israel will be waiting that long for the next round of elections.Aye, but unless the current govenment folds - and it has no reason to - there won't be an election for two-and-a-half years.

It cant believe that the citizenship requests in Germany is tied to the acceptance of another foreign state!!!Germany's on a roll and what's happening there is absolutely insane.
Utterly shameful.
