JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel would “crush and destroy” Hamas in response to its attack.

Netanyahu said every Hamas member was a “dead man.”

Netanyahu made the remarks in a late-night televised address as Israeli planes pounded Gaza in response to the unprecedented attack.

And not just the Hamas, but the women and children too

The sick fuck literally called Palestinians animals the other day.

That kind of language really isn't that uncommon from Likud members. They very often use language and threaten "solutions" which are alarmingly similar to what the Nazis said about the Jews.

Maybe it's about time to suggest to Israel that, instead of spending all that money on bombs and missiles, that gas chambers would be more cost effective.

eventually they'll be claiming they're the good guys while wearing these uniforms.

What he really means: ethnic cleansing of all Palestinians.

It's easy to call the people you don't like "terrorists" after you put them in the world's largest open air prison, allow them no voice in their governance, deny them basic human necessities, and they predicably act out of desperation .

What's hard, and the right thing, is the force holding the bigger gun exercising restraint in their response.

But we're sending two aircraft carriers to back up that already far superior force as they punch down and possibly do a genocide. No amount of conditional soup makes organized religion worth the continuous, murderous madness it brings.

If you're willing to kill real people or die for an imaginary friend, you're the problem.

Think the carriers are mostly there more to say “nobody else get involved” and help prevent this from becoming a wider conflict.

Translation: Palestinian families and children will die.

Yeah, somehow I doubt that Mossad will go after the leaders hiding in Qatar. And that's not because they can't, there are a lot of Nazis who could vouch for their capabilities when it comes to assassinate people in other countries.

I imagine one major reason they cut electricity to Gaza is to make sure cell towers are dead and phones lose charge so there's less evidence coming out of the crimes against humanity they're planning to commit.

Oh Natty. Just shut up.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined with a top political rival on Wednesday to create a war-time Cabinet overseeing the fight to avenge a stunning weekend attack by Hamas militants.

In the sealed-off Gaza Strip ruled by Hamas, Palestinian suffering mounted as Israeli bombardment demolished neighborhoods and the only power plant ran out of fuel.

Medical teams and rescuers struggled to enter other areas where roads were too destroyed, including Gaza City’s al-Karama district, where a “large number” were killed or wounded, according to the Hamas-run Interior Ministry.

The risk of the war spreading was evident Wednesday after the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah fired anti-tank missiles at an Israeli military position and claimed to have killed and wounded troops.

Hamas said it launched its attack Saturday because Palestinians’ suffering had become intolerable under unending Israeli military occupation and increasing settlements in the West Bank and a 16-year-long blockade in Gaza.

Associated Press writers Amy Teibel and Isabel DeBre in Jerusalem, Jack Jeffrey and Samy Magdy in Cairo and Kareem Chehayeb in Beirut contributed to this report.
