‘We will fight with our fingernails’ says Netanyahu after US threat to curb arms - Lemmy.ca

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.

Ridiculous that Biden is changing policy due to students protesting a war just because the aggressor/initiator is losing badly. He’s lost their votes already.

Hoping they take Rafah soon and eliminate every last Hamas jihadist and hopefully get some hostages back alive

Taking Rafah… Rafah has been occupied for the better part of a century, my dude, they’re not taking land to root out terrorists. They’re just killing people for the sake of killing people.

Got a source that they’re killing people just for the sake of it? I’m pretty sure they’re after these delightful people: thisishamas.com

It’s horrible, but there are mass deaths in a war. If Hamas surrendered themselves the war would end.

Actually, the percentage rate at which people are dying in Palestine exceeds that of WWII. They’ve also got the most dead reporters in such a short timeframe, perhaps ever recorded.

Which figures are you using? Hamas figures can be taken with a pinch of salt. The best approximation I saw was 3:1 non combatants to combatants which as awful as it sounds is actually very good for dense urban warfare.

Hamas are not fighting like a regular countries army would fight. They do not care for their own civilians

Do you kiss your jihadist family with that mouth? Or did they all go to paradise detonating themselves already?

Jihad is a word often used to describe priests or people faithful in times of hardship, it’s even part of the scifi term Butlerian Jihad which describes people who overthrow a robot overlord. It doesn’t really indicate connection or relation to any Muslim sect, if that’s your misconception. Most of the comments here are probably white agnostic millennials.
