    Bibi can’t control his “settlers” anymore than trump can control his “patriots”.

    If the US tries to say they own Gaza, the extremists in Israel won’t hesitate to attack them because they legitimately and truly believe sky daddy said they could have it.

    You think either of those groups/leaders know the meaning of the word “share”?

    I mean shit, just look at what Bibi’s people say about Christians:

    However, Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, who oversees the police, said in an interview with Army Radio that spitting at Christians was “not a criminal case” and that not everything “justifies an arrest”.

    He said the incidents were “deserving of every condemnation” but urged people to “stop slandering Israel”.

    The claim was echoed on Tuesday by Israeli settler Elisha Yered, who is suspected of involvement in the killing of a Palestinian teenager in August.

    Yered said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that “spitting near priests or churches is an ancient Jewish custom”.

    “Perhaps under the influence of Western culture we have somewhat forgotten what Christianity is, but I think the millions of Jews who suffered in exile from the Crusades, the torture of the [Spanish] Inquisition, blood libels and mass pogroms – will never forget,” he added.

    That was 10/4/23, days before the attack.

    They’re not going to be ok with anyone besides Jewish Israelis living in Gaza

      Who had an US vs Israel war on their bingo cards? We’re reaching levels of idiotic pointless human suffering that shouldn’t be possible.
