  1. Considering that Ireland and Sweden are in their “top list of enemies” does that mean that they will be “defeated” by Israel too. And what about every individual on sites like this. Does every subscriber of this sub need to be “defeated” also? Either you are a zionist or an enemy. You choose. And consider the fact that Israel will win. There is no one to stop them from doing whatever they want

  2. Nobody and I mean nobody should be surprised that he’s saying this. It was obvious from the start. And tbh I don’t even think it’s bad thing.

    I have issues with how they’ve carried out this war but the objective of removing Hamas from power is not unreasonable to me. Especially given they are fully committed to repeating October 7th, as the more powerful party why the fuck wouldn’t Israel make sure they’re removed from power

  3. > [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Thursday that he was prioritizing his stance of maintaining Israeli troops in the Philadelphi Corridor over saving the lives of the remaining hostages in Gaza.](https://www.timesofisrael.com/asked-to-decide-between-hostages-or-philadelphi-netanyahu-said-to-prefer-latter/amp/)

    He prioritized a corridor over hostages. I don’t think anyone actually believes he remotely cares for any of the hostages.

  4. Hasbara agents are scrambling for new talking points as you read this.

    **But the hostages!!!111**

    PIJ literally asked Israel to stop bombing for a day in October 2023 so they could release civilians in exchange for *nothing at all* and Netanyahu still refused.

  5. Israel’s goal should be to ensure that something like October 7th never happens again.

    Allowing Hamas to continue existing, in exchange for the bodies of the hostages, does not accomplish that.

  6. At least he’s finally said what everyone already knows. He couldn’t give a shit about any of the living hostages left, it’s all to conduct a genocide, keep himself in power and take the land.

  7. Its pretty sad and funny in hindsight that hamas thought they could do oct 7 then take hostages as a way to deter a harsh response and get their demands met by israel. What they did was just radicalize the israeli public, and give the most right wing government in history a chance to turn their dreams of genocide into reality. Im curious if they would have gotten Israel to respond how they wanted if it was a left wing government instead.

  8. The goal has always been the destruction of Hamas. I don’t know why the hell people would ever think that famous lovey dovey left winger Netanyahu would prioritize the life of hostages over the destruction of Hamas
