‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms ( www.theguardian.com )

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah.

Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, was speaking on Thursday after Israeli and Hamas delegations left the ceasefire negotiations in Cairo.

It was unclear whether the talks had broken down or simply paused, but the failure to reach an agreement on this week’s round of meetings raised apprehension of an imminent Israeli attack on Rafah.

Netanyahu appeared to shrug off a public warning from the US president, Joe Biden, the previous night that if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a major offensive on the city the US would not provide bombs and artillery shells to support the operation.

How about parachuting that asshole and his fingernails down in Gaza? I think that's a food idea. Preferably in two separated packages.

Sanctions are badly needed.

Fuck absolutely everything about you, Netanyahu.

Pay attention to this, America. This is a desperate politician facing embarrassment, criminal prosecution, prolonged jail and international ridicule for the rest of his life if this "war" doesn't perpetrate indefinitely. This is how trump will hold the US hostage if your boomer aunts and uncles in the swing state suburbs elect him again.

And preceded by a coup if he doesn't get elected?

Passerby6497 ,

He won't be able to stage a coup this time because he won't be able to kneecap the defenses.

They try it again they're going to have more than just one Babbit.

Have fun with that.

I suggest calcium and vitamin d supplements, and rubbing in nail oil with vitamin e daily.

Fingernails is a euphemism for nukes.

Nukes in Palestine? Even Russia can't use nukes safely in Ukraine due to the potential pollution of their own territory.

Good, then let them fight with their fingernails. STOP ALL MONEY & WEAPONS TO ISRAEL.

Sounds like there isn't any issue if we stop all arms shipments then. See ya Bibi bitch.

His skin tone is so different from everybody else's, it's weird.

Political theatre.

US keeps trying to pretend and appear rational, peaceful, trying to end "war", then ships a ton more to start the slaughter. Then US sends another warning…

The US is the really annoying parent in a grocery store counting to 3 over and over to try to get their child under control.

Let them

They will also be fighting with:

  • Toothpicks
  • Plastic straws
  • Cotton balls
  • Rubber bands
  • Feather boas
  • Marbles
  • Jump ropes
  • Paper clips
  • Marshmallows
  • Bubbles

Don’t they have cows also? They could Monty Python and the Holy Grail-style attack them as well.

When you play the victim role one (or rather 50) times too many.

According to Israel, everyone is against Israel

Sometimes, when everything is shit, check your shoes instead of telling others that they are shit

filister ,

And everyone who dares criticizing them is obviously antisemitic.

Especially those self-hating Jews.

Sorry i honestly dont get this.
I agree with criticism of Israel but what do you mean with your comment about jews?

captainlezbian ,

A lot of Jewish groups have protested Israel and their Jewishness has been ignored and them been called antisemites or they’ve been called self hating Jews.

Ok got it.

Fedizen ,

Can a country have a gender, too? Can the state of Israel be a woman so its also sexist not to commit genocide?

Railing5132 ,

Shit, congress passed a law codifying that too!

If you perfectly obey israel and wag your tail for them you are allowed to exist.

The second anyone pushes back in the slightest against their Nazi regime trying to execute a Holocaust they are instantly slandered as Hamas.

Israel has no qualms throwing loyal dogs that have been supporting them for their entire lives, just look at Genocide Joe getting labeled as Hamas the second he draws any lines.

These are not people that can be negotiated with. The are extremist maniacs.

I mean, this is a core trait of narcissism.
