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.

How about parachuting that asshole and his fingernails down in Gaza? I think that's a food idea. Preferably in two separated packages.

Sanctions are badly needed.

Fuck absolutely everything about you, Netanyahu.

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

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.

Have fun with that.

I suggest calcium and vitamin d supplements, and rubbing in nail oil with vitamin e daily.

Fingernails is a euphemism for nukes.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Nukes in Palestine? Even Russia can't use nukes safely in Ukraine due to the potential pollution of their own territory.

Good, then let them fight with their fingernails. STOP ALL MONEY & WEAPONS TO ISRAEL.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago

Sounds like there isn't any issue if we stop all arms shipments then. See ya Bibi bitch.

He looks like an angry toddler in that picture

His skin tone is so different from everybody else's, it's weird.
