Netanyahu praises Trump for aiming hostage demands at Hamas; repeats prewar reality in north won’t resume
[IsraelTimes] At a special cabinet meeting in the northern coastal city of Nahariya, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks US President-elect Donald Trump...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... for writing on social media that "there will be all hell to pay" if hostages held by forces of Evil in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... aren’t released by his inauguration on January 20. "It is a very strong statement," says Netanyahu at the opening of the meeting, "which makes it clear that there is one party responsible for this situation — and that is Hamas  ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,.... Hamas must release the hostages." Trump, continues Netanyahu, "put the emphasis in the right place — on Hamas, and not on the Israeli government, as is customary in some places." Protesters and some hostage families blame Netanyahu for not doing enough to reach a deal with Hamas to get the hostages out of Gaza. "We will continue to do everything to release them, and whoever harms them will be killed," he threatens. On the fragile ceasefire with Hezbollah, Netanyahu repeats the warning that the war with Hezbollah is not over. "We are committed to a ceasefire, but we will also not tolerate violations of the ceasefire by the other side," he says, a day after Hezbollah fired mortar shells at northern Israel and the IDF struck over 20 sites in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... "I also say here in the clearest terms: We will not return to the situation that was on October 6, [2023]," he promises, referring to the day before the current multifront war began with Hamas’s onslaught on southern Israel. "The north will be calm, the north will prosper, the north will flourish, and the north will be safe," says Netanyahu. Posted by: trailing wife 2024-12-04 |
