Ex-Knesset member cites Hitler in rant about expelling Palestinians
A far-right former Israeli lawmaker quoted Adolf Hitler as he discussed the military takeover of Gaza and expulsion of Palestinians.
In a video shared on social media, Moshe Feiglin said: “We are not guests in our country. This is our country, all of it. As Hitler said, ‘I cannot live if one Jew is left’. We can’t live here if one ‘Islamo-Nazi’ remains in Gaza.”
He added he wants to “turn Gaza Hebrew”. Feiglin was a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party from 2013-2015 before launching his own far-right Zehut party.
Hezbollah ‘bringing us to brink of escalation’: Israel
Raging cross-border fire from Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement into Israel could trigger serious escalation, the Israeli military says.
“Hezbollah’s increasing aggression is bringing us to the brink of what could be a wider escalation, one that could have devastating consequences for Lebanon and the entire region,” Israeli military spokesman Rear-Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a statement.
“Israel will take the necessary measures to protect its civilians – until security along our border with Lebanon is restored.”
Israeli war cabinet discusses ‘strengthening’ illegal settlements
Israeli ministers met to discuss “steps to strengthen settlements” in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said in a post on X.
The meeting was partly in response to the growing number of countries recognising a Palestinian state since October 7, and the Palestinian Authority’s “actions against Israel in international bodies”, it said.
The proposed changes will be put to a vote at the next cabinet meeting.
Biden pushes ceasefire deal in Eid al-Adha message
US President Joe Biden used his Eid message to Muslims to push for a US-backed ceasefire deal in Gaza, saying it is the best way to help civilians suffering the “horrors of war between Hamas and Israel”.
“Too many innocent people have been killed, including thousands of children. Families have fled their homes and seen their communities destroyed. Their pain is immense,” Biden said in a statement.
“I strongly believe the three-phase ceasefire proposal Israel has made to Hamas and that the UN Security Council has endorsed is the best way to end the violence in Gaza and ultimately end the war,” he added.
You can push your deception all you want, neither Israel nor Hamas will accept your non committal open ended ceasefire proposal. As long as you can't convince Israel to even think about a sustained ceasefire, Hamas isn't going to accept. Netanyahu isn't going to accept any pressure/guarantees that phase 1 ceasefire will last on until negotiations for phase 2 are complete.
But yes, it would be the best way for you and Netanyahu if Hamas exchanged the hostages so you can continue the Gaza genocide without worrying about killing more hostages. Exactly why Hamas isn't falling for your proposal. I thought Bush and Trump were terrible, Biden fits right in.
This is applicable to the USA as well....
‘Leading them to the abyss’: Israel a growing ‘pariah’ state
Israel’s government is buckling not only from Israeli citizens demonstrating against it, but also from international pressure to end its war on Gaza, according to an analyst.
On the world stage, Israel is increasingly becoming a pariah state while at home there are sustained protests calling for the government of Benjamin Netanyahu to be removed, says political analyst Akiva Eldar.
“I travelled to Amsterdam and for the first time, I don’t feel comfortable to present my Israeli passport,” Eldar told Al Jazeera. “The Israelis are not welcome everywhere.”
In light of this growing tension, Eldar predicts the movement against Netanyahu’s government will come from the grassroots. “Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak called to the Israelis – who believe that this government is leading them to the abyss – to start protests, demonstrations around the Knesset, and he’s calling for 1 million Israelis.”
