  1. It sure seems like words of endearment coming from Netanyahu. He seems to have plenty of support for fascists and fascist militias considering who he aligns with within his government.

    >Her husband, Yoav Bar Shai, later told Channel 12 that he was “not angry with anybody.”
    >
    >“They didn’t deliberately set the car on fire,” he said, explaining that the blaze spread from a dumpster that was set alight. “It was an act of stupidity,” he says. “Everyone does stupid things, and this shouldn’t be inflated into some political thing.”
    >
    >He added that “someone just told me that, on the news, a family of hostages apologized for this happening. That pains me. They really do not have to apologize. We have to apologize to that family.”
    >
    >He said he was very grateful that a large sum of money was raised to cover the cost of the torched car, saying, “that’s far more than it’s worth.”

    >Netanyahu issued a lengthy video statement on Wednesday evening about the arson attack, in which he claimed that the protesters were acting “exactly like fascists.”
    >
    >The premier did not differentiate between the arsonists and the main protest groups, which were quick to distance themselves from the attack and offer support to the impacted family.
    >
    >“In a democracy, demonstrations are legitimate,” said Netanyahu. “But what’s happening in the funded, organized, political protests against the government, which have broken every boundary — they vandalize property, block roads, make millions of citizens miserable, chase after elected officials and their children, to kindergartens and schools.”
    >
    >“They threaten every day to murder me, the prime minister, and my family, and they also commit arson,” Netanyahu claimed. “They said they would surround my house, the Prime Minister’s Residence, with a ring of fire — just like fascist militias.”

    >Reacting to Netanyahu’s comments saying the protesters were acting “like fascists,” Ofer Braslavski, the father of hostage Rom Braslavski, said on Wednesday night, “Shame on you, prime minister. I will not let you bring my son back in a bag. Shame on you.”

    >In the morning, protests were also taking place elsewhere, including outside the home of Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, accusing him of failing to secure an agreement to bring back any hostages since becoming the chief Israeli negotiator on the matter earlier this year.
    >
    >“Complete failure,” the protesters said in a statement, accusing the government of capitulating to its far-right flank and “torpedoing” a proposal for a ceasefire-hostage deal that Hamas said it accepted weeks ago and that Israel hasn’t responded to, despite mediators saying it is almost identical to an outline previously accepted by Jerusalem.

  2. Netanyahu calling people fascist militias? Jeez you’d think he’d be overjoyed there’s fascist militias again! He’s probably only mad cuz he can’t absorb these protestors into the IdF and institutionalize their terrorist ideology !

  3. We need to refer to Israel as anti semitic. Palestinians are genuinely semites.

    Israelis hate it, it disarms them of their usual weapon or words, and legitimizes Palestines right to exist.

    Israel has forgone the right to claim what is now, ancient history. This is the current semitic genocide.
