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.
Maybe the US should just stop arming Israel and give the arms to Gaza instead and see how that plays out.
I can’t believe this bullshit has gone on for so long
Nobody can believe the shit has gone on so far with Russia and Ukraine but here we are 2 years later.
This conflict with Israel is looking to go on for just as long if not longer.
Were you born last year?a
No, you chode. You were born yesterday after I fucked your mom.
Didn’t expect anything less from a troll
The conflict with Israel has gone on for 76 years. October 7th was just the start of a cycle of intensification within the larger conflict.
Thats something that a lot of people seem to forget. This fight has been going on in one form or another since the creation of the modern state of Israel. And there is an almost unlimited amount of blood on the hands of both the Israelis and Palestinians. (As well as the colonial countries who set up the borders in the first place)
Yea, give more weapons to terrorists. What could go wrong? The Lemmy community has truly gone insane
i mean why not the us gave weapons to terrorists in the 80s
Yeah and 9 times out of 11 that never came back to bite us.
This is an amazing response.
For sure, Hamas would never use the weapons for anything else than in a pure defensive manner. Can guarantee it.
Hamas is a wholesome book club.
/S
Atleast they don’t use white phosphorus on civilians and blast children with tanks at point blank.
/s oh wait the s is not required
So Israel is no better than a terrorist organisation is what youre saying
None of the parties should be armed by an external force. This conflict is eating an insane amount of attention but has a miniscule importance for anyone not involved. It’s actually insane how many westerners makes up their whole identity by this conflict.
Europe and the US have enough to worry about with themselves. Russia is a direct threat to freedom in Europe, and people here are worrying about some dispute far away that doesn’t affect them at all.
Arming any part in this conflict is dumb.
