    his priority is to prevent another terror attack like the Oct. 7 Hamas raid

    He is literally making one inevitable.

      What I don’t get about Bibi’s argumernt of preventing another Oct 7 is that it is not so hard to prevent.

      It should not have happened in the first place if security didn’t slip up but he does not want to take responsibility for that.

      He does not want to acknowledge that a competent government could have prevented that and could prevent it in future even with Hamas remaining in Gaza.

      The attempt to remove Hamas is naive.

        Some types of leaders like to engineer (through inaction) attacks on their own country, because that will justify the type of situation they like to have. More or less: (a) you can’t get rid of me! Look how dangerous things are and (b) we have to keep killing them, they deserve it, look what they did.

        I have no idea if Netanyahu’s that way, or if the intelligence failures came just from the cloud of incompetence that for some reason seems to surround far-right leaders. But the first one definitely seems possible.

          I’m sure he didn’t cry about the death of tripping ravers in a socialist desert kibbutz.

      He is literally making one inevitable.

      …and quite possibly another Sept. 11 in the States.

    Of course he does. He’s got a real taste for genocide now, he’s not gonna stop.

    As for Biden if you genuinely don’t want a genocidaire to bomb children then maybe stop shipping them all those bombs.

    Sounds familiar:

    Ten years after Ghouta, Mr Obama’s red line over Syria is remembered as a defining moment of his presidency. Rather than strike immediately, he first decided to ask for a vote in Congress and then agreed not to act at all if Russia stepped in to oversee Syria’s chemical disarmament. Critics argue that Mr Obama’s reluctance to punish Mr Assad diminished America’s credibility and that the consequences are still being felt even now.
