Bibi is in a Tight Spot. If he Accepts the Peace Plan his Government is Toppled. And if he REJECTS the Peace Plan he gets more Bombs Money and Ammunition from Biden! TOUGH choice!

No he's being pushed from the other side too.

Specifically his more centre-right coalition partners (Gantz, Gallant) are in favor of the ceasefire, and seem willing to pull coalition support if Netanyahu doesn't agree to the ceasefire.

Oh wait, I thought it was genocide Joe…. I guess maybe all the misinformation trolls were wrong about Biden, because this sure doesn’t sound like something a guy who loves genocide would do.

🙄🙄🙄🙄

Try it. Watch how fast the tens of thousands already protesting in the streets grows in numbers.

Do it. See what happens.

Hopefully it’s the end of Israel as we know it. I doubt that anything different comes from its rubble but I do hope it can.

Let's wait and see.

"It's time for this war to end"

My dude, this was never a war, legitimising genocide in this way doesn't help.

~~Judeo-fascism~~

Edit:

Nah.. in hindsight it's just Zionism actually. Not everyone under Judaism supports this.

And some non-jewish people support this.

some non-jewish people

That’s a funny way to spell The Republican Party.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's Democrats too. And in Canada, the neo-liberal Liberal party, the Conservative party etc. There are Zionists on all sides.

There are way more right wing evangelicals who want a fucking apocalypse so their white jesus can come save them from the shitty world they’ve created for us all.

Check out Mike huckabee if you want to have nightmares about nuclear disaster tonight.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Biden unveiled on Friday what he said was a three-phase Israeli proposal to end the conflict in Gaza that would pair a release of hostages with a “full and complete ceasefire.”

During a speech at the White House, Biden said Hamas had been degraded to a point where it could no longer carry out the type of attack seen on October 7 that launched the current war in Gaza.

In a statement on social media, Smotrich said he had “made it clear” to Netanyahu that he would not “be part of a government that will agree to the proposed outline and end the war without destroying Hamas and returning all the hostages.”

“If the prime minister implements the reckless deal under the conditions published today, which mean the end of the war and the giving up on the elimination of Hamas, Otzma Yehudit will dissolve the government,” he said, referring to the far-right party he leads and which helps prop up Netanyahu’s majority in parliament.

But less than an hour after Biden detailed the proposal, Netanyahu insisted Israel will not end the war in Gaza until it had achieved all of its goals, including the destruction of Hamas.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has offered to back Netanyahu in accepting the proposal, and condemned the comments by Smotrich and Ben Gvir.
