Israeli war crimes

[Anonymous]

Why have there been weird op-eds popping up in recent days about anti-semitism in the NYT and the WaPo? So, so weird.

The Bibi Files is an excellent documentary available on YouTube. It’s an Israeli movie about Benjamin Netanyahus corruption crimes and how he is going to jail the minute the wars are over hence his need to extend and
Create wars

I’m sensing a theme here among world leaders, aka dictators.

One of the world’s wealthiest nations, Qatar has long championed the Palestinian cause and, of all its neighbors, has cultivated the closest ties to Hamas. These relationships have proved valuable in recent weeks as Qatari officials have helped negotiate for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza.

Qatar’s work in Gaza during this period was blessed by the Israeli government. And Mr. Netanyahu even lobbied Washington on Qatar’s behalf. In 2017, as Republicans pushed to impose financial sanctions on Qatar over its support for Hamas, he dispatched senior defense officials to Washington. The Israelis told American lawmakers that Qatar had played a positive role in the Gaza Strip, according to three people familiar with the trip.

Yossi Kuperwasser, a former head of research for Israel’s military intelligence, said that some officials saw the benefits of maintaining an “equilibrium” in the Gaza Strip. “The logic of Israel was that Hamas should be strong enough to rule Gaza,” he said, “but weak enough to be deterred by Israel.”

Among the team of Mossad agents that tracked terrorism financing, some came to believe that — even beyond the money from Qatar — Mr. Netanyahu was not very concerned about stopping money going to Hamas.

Uzi Shaya, for example, made several trips to China to try to shut down what Israeli intelligence had assessed was a money-laundering operation for Hamas run through the Bank of China.
After his retirement, he was called to testify against the Bank of China in an American lawsuit brought by the family of a victim of a Hamas terrorist attack.

At first, the head of Mossad encouraged him to testify, saying it could increase financial pressure on Hamas, Mr. Shaya recalled in a recent interview.

Then, the Chinese offered Mr. Netanyahu a state visit. Suddenly, Mr. Shaya recalled, he got different orders from his former bosses: He was not to testify.

Mr. Netanyahu visited Beijing in May 2013, part of an effort to strengthen economic and diplomatic ties between Israel and China. Mr. Shaya said he would have liked to have testified.

“Unfortunately,” he said, “there were other considerations.”

While the reasons for the decision were never confirmed, the change in tack left him suspicious. Especially because politicians at times talked openly about the value of a strong Hamas.

Shlomo Brom, a retired general and former deputy to Israel’s national security adviser, said an empowered Hamas helped Mr. Netanyahu avoid negotiating over a Palestinian state.

“One effective way to prevent a two-state solution is to divide between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank,” he said in an interview. The division gives Mr. Netanyahu an excuse to disengage from peace talks, Mr. Brom said, adding that he can say, “I have no partner.”

Mr. Netanyahu did not articulate this strategy publicly, but some on the Israeli political right had no such hesitation.

Bezalel Smotrich, a far-right politician who is now Mr. Netanyahu’s finance minister, put it bluntly in 2015, the year he was elected to Parliament. “The Palestinian Authority is a burden,” he said. “Hamas is an asset.”

Post some more, your postings are not nearly sufficiently interminable and numerous, and you have a long way to go before you're persuasive instead of merely pitiful. Fabricating "facts" and making up quotes doesn't make anything remotely true, BTW.

It’s not about persuasion. It’s a Nytimes article.

I didn’t know questioning King Bibi was such a cardinal sin.

Netanyahu is their first dictator. In the doc, Israeli leaders report hearing Bibi openly discuss his son as his successor/“heir”. Apparently, the First Lady and son are worse than Bibi and make him look like a moderate by comparison.

Israelis are not allowed to flee the country yet his Air Force one plane was in Greece last week. He’s using his people as human shields for political power.

Why do we keep blaming it all on "Bibi," like he is some singular force?

This is what most of Israel wants and this is what most American Jews want. I keep seeing "we support Israel" banners at all the synagogues around town.

Where are the protests?

In reality, few people believe there are "war crimes", and consequently few people are interested in protesting a non-issue. The outrage seems limited mostly to a handful of DCUM posters who seem more like apologists for terror groups and regimes than people arguing that self-defense should have a limit.

Drop site news is reporting that newborn babies are dying of starvation in hospitals.

Hospitals have run out of formula and their pleas for formula shipments have been denied. They are rationing whatever baby formula they have left, but it is leading to the deaths of the most fragile babies, particularly premature infants.

I've been following all the actions in Gaza and it's frightening how Israel accelerated their genocidal behavior under the cover of war with Iran. Hopefully, as that settles down, attention will be refocused to the genocide and forced starvation campaign being conducted in Gaza.

The country is more than its current head.

You can support America and detest Trump.

Difference is Netanyahu shares and embodies the genocidal views of the majority of the population.

The IDF keeps killing scores of people every day at the food distribution center.

They're averaging more than 100+ a day. This is all by design when you look at how the distribution center is laid out.
