Israel will push on with its offensive against Hamas, including into the southern Gaza city of Rafah, despite growing international pressure to stop, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday.

Netanyahu has vowed to destroy Hamas after its fighters attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people and abducting 253, according to Israeli tallies. More than 30,000 people have been killed in Gaza during Israel’s subsequent offensive, Palestinian health authorities estimate, prompting worldwide criticism and condemnation.

“There is international pressure and it’s growing, but particularly when the international pressure rises, we must close ranks, we need to stand together against the attempts to stop the war,” he said.

      At least we’ve gone from “stop calling it a genocide you darned leftists” to “genocide is good actually”. I appreciate the honesty at least

          This is either sociopathy or psychopathy and I’m not sure which.

          You aren’t wrong, and they have been moderated and banned. But report them, don’t attack them.
