Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu is treating Palestinians in Gaza worse that his countrymen were treated in Germany during the Second World War.

Being holocaust victim during WW2 that doesn't mean have right to do genocide.

Of course Israel is committing war crimes. Now, by the same logic, you should point a finger at Russia's leaders for committing war crimes. Can you admit it? We're all waiting..

The rate of civilian losses in Palestine is orders of magnitude higher than that of civilians in Ukraine.

The total civilian deaths in Palestine will soon surpass those in Ukraine, despite the fact that the conflict in Ukraine has been raging for much longer.

Whomever accused Russia of war crimes should point the same finger at Israel otherwise they are exposed as disingenuous, hypocritical and dishonest.

There is no war in Palestine but there is a massacre…

“It will be long and difficult,” he said. “We are ready.”

Israel has the right to defend itself at all costs.

Israel didn't want this, but apparently the Arabs did, so now they are going to feel the wrath of the strongest country in the Middle East. Hezbollah is shooting missiles into civilian populations in northern Israel--the Arab war crimes continue.

I'm wondering if Hamas supporters still think it was a good idea to massacre 1400 civilians in Israel, and kidnap more than 200 people.

Hamas beheaded and murdered infants, children, women, the elderly, the disabled, but did anyone see Palestinian Arabs protesting this slaughter? How about now? Is there a mass Arab movement pushing for Hamas to release the hostages?

No.

But we saw Palestinian and other Arabs dancing and celebrating the massacre of innocent people.

We don't see them dancing anymore though, and that is a good sign.

This is just appalling. It's a Humanitarian disaster.

They are just on a blood fueled rage of holus bolus revenge killing of anyone in the animal pen that is Gaza.

It's murder.

Funny how that cost never includes stopping Israeli Zionist colonizers from stealing Palestinian homes and land.

13 ( +17 / -4 )

Deliberately withholding food, water, fuel, electricity and medical aid from a captive civilian population while simultaneously bombing the hell out of the entire city. If that isn’t a war crime, then what is exactly? As usual Israel gets away with it because their supporters in the west ignore it or make excuses for it. It’s a disgrace.

Israel has the right to defend itself at all costs.

They have the absolute right to defend their Jewish nation and homeland, not only that, they have a moral obligation to do so.

Israel didn't want this, but apparently the Arabs did, so now they are going to feel the wrath of the strongest country in the Middle East. Hezbollah is shooting missiles into civilian populations in northern Israel--the Arab war crimes continue.

Hamas beheaded and murdered infants, children, women, the elderly, the disabled, but did anyone see Palestinian Arabs protesting this slaughter? How about now? Is there a mass Arab movement pushing for Hamas to release the hostages? 

No.

Absolutely not, there is not one photo or video that shows the IDF kidnapping, rapping women and beheading babies, using them as hostages and human shields imagine if the IDF just went in, kidnapped 200 Palestinians and cut off the heads of babies to try and get Gazans off their land, how would the Muslim world react? How would the international community act?

But we saw Palestinian and other Arabs dancing and celebrating the massacre of innocent people.

We don't see them dancing anymore though, and that is a good sign.

100% spot on.

Not sure how Trump got into this conversation…

and his craziness ,the people of Israel,think they are catching hell now, continue on this path , the world has spoken and the world say enough is enough

It doesn’t matter what the world thinks, Israel has the right to defend and seek out and eliminate the people that did this, no questions or doubt about it. We got OBL, El Baghdadi and Soleimani, let the Israelis do what they need to do to cut this cancer out. No country would allow such a horrific attack go unpunished. Again, Israel has a moral obligation to hold the people responsible and to see this through until the bitter end.

Get em BiBI and be done with it. Its enough.

When enough Blood is spilled Arabs and Jews alike will MOURN the death of their loved ones, Hamas will still be there and so will Israel. War mongers may rest in HELL and so their supporters.

Israel and Hamas will carry on with their HATE & TWISTED ideologies and the victims will never forget.

These are holy wars, the scourge of the humanity.

If it wasn’t for religion or ethnocentric there would be no wars.

Only thing the US got to show for 9/11 revenge is more dead American more than ,that died on 9/11 in the thousands in while in the military in Iraq and 100 of thousands of innocence dead Iraqis and some are still killing themselves each day Google US Military Death In Iraq

I understand, and I don’t want to drag this out and making this about Iraq and the lies associated with it to go and do what we did, however, in the end, the two people responsible for masterminding that operation that had killed close to 3000 people all met their same fate and for that I’m glad in the end. We did what we had to do ultimately and so will Israel.

Here is a link for an article in the Free Pree by Alan Johnson. It was a speech given in 2014 after the 50 day war between Gaza and Israel. It's a long read, but worth it, especially since the points made still apply to this day.

Why is the headline "Netanyahu says...."?

Should the article even attempt to be impartial? We need to know what is happening. The starting point must not be one side's opinion.

So? Do you think Israel is going to change their strategy because of antisemitic demonstrations?

Those anti-Israel mobs should be calling on Hamas to stop hoarding fuel and food.

8,000 Arabs were killed, 60% women and children.

Nah, that's fake news.

Because it's AP, which sold its soul a very long time ago:

"The Associated Press news agency entered a formal cooperation with the Hitler regime in the 1930s, supplying American newspapers with material directly produced and selected by the Nazi propaganda ministry, archive material unearthed by a German historian has revealed.

You are talking about the Ulta-Orthodox Jewish community a small fringe group that is anti-Isreal.

They do not make up for the majority of Pro-Isreali Jewish supporters. so when you say members of the Orthodox Jewish Community, be specific.

These are some very seriously crazy people.

They are still Jews. Not all Jews support Netanyahu and his war in Gaza killing thousands of women and children.

In London Jewish groups joined the protestors.

Israel's zionism has long been morally bankrupt. The massacre from the skie in Gaza is Guernica dialed to 11. I still hold out hope that decent Jews will prevail in finding a modus vivendi with their Arab brethren (living together in ONE state)

That a majority of Jewish people don't take seriously, especially in the US or Israel. So how about this, Nazis are Christian, I do not like or take these people seriously, the same thing.

Not all Jews support Netanyahu and his war in Gaza killing thousands of women and children.

Not all Americans support Biden and his involvement with this Russian/Ukranian war killing thousands of men, women, and children.

Yes, but the majority of them still support overwhelmingly Israel and its right to exist.

Message to Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu: So after 6 million Jewish people in the gas chambers of Auschwitz you are now roasting 2.2 million Palestinians in a fire oven?

So why is Hamas not allowing the majority of the people that want to go, to leave? If Hamas cared about its people why on God's green earth would they build their headquarters underneath a major hospital? If Hamas cared about its people why are they taking fuel, food, and aid from their own people to fight a war they know they can never win?

Message to Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu: So after 6 million Jewish people in the gas chambers of Auschwitz you are now roasting 2.2 million Palestinians in a fire oven?

About 900,000 Jews were murdered at the camps in the area known as Auschwitz. Not all of them by gas.

But your point about Netanyahu is on point.

You have to accept all Jews regardless.

Yes, but the majority of them still support overwhelmingly Israel and its right to exist.

Many non-Jews also support Israel's right to exist. I do. But are opposed to the current level of bombing in Gaza. Supporting the Arabs is not supporting Hamas. You can't kill Hamas by killing all 2.2 million Gaza Arabs.

The Nazis were not Christians. They were into mysticism. Which they made into Nazi occultism.

“It will be long and difficult,” he said. “We are ready.”

I understand it can be long, because killing 2M people takes some time, but why difficult? Palestinians have sticks and stones and not in a mood to fight the invasion while Israeli army has all types of modern weapons. Meanwhile the few thousands of HAMAS terrorists are probably already not in Gaza anymore.

The only practical solution I can imagine is to force Egypt to let Palestinians escape to there.

1400 israelian civilians killed for 4000 palestinian children killed

children.

and people still defend israel, what a shame

i'm waiting to see what people like you will say when Israel will use an atomic bomb but I think it's the same stupid excuse a country used when they used twice an atomic bomb : we have to stop the war (when Japan already asked for surrender, check the Internet)(if you can)

The Arabs do not want to leave Gaza because they know they will never be allowed back. Just like in 1948.

Many of the Palestinian "Arabs" are likely descendants of the Jews who never emigrated (absurd to think they all did). No matter, all human lives are equally precious: enough of this 10 Arabs for 1 Jew obscene calculus.
