    Maybe he should focus on maintaining peace if he doesn’t want his own country to turn into bloody ashes

      And who’s going to do that as long as the US extends endless military and financial support? Bibi slaughtered tens of thousands of children with nothing more than a furrowed brow at the State Department. We send Israel so many bombs that it exceeds our military transport capacity and we’re chartering private carriers for part of the load. At every turn, the US has confirmed to Israel that it can act with impunity and retain our guarantee of support.

      Israel sat idly by allowing the enemy to get stronger… They’re not going to make that mistake again.

      I don’t think he wants peace at all. I think if there’s peace, he will lose his position as PM and lose its power with it.

      He would be fine with a full out war because he knows US will help him.

        He was about to lose power before 10/7…

        And has been refusing to allow elections because of the genocides he won’t stop committing ever since.
