Netanyahu says Israel ‘will stand alone’ if necessary after Biden threatens to withhold weapons

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video message on Thursday vowing that Israel "will stand alone" to defeat Hamas, if necessary, after President Biden threatened to withhold weapon shipments to the Jewish State should Netanyahu proceed with an invasion of Rafah.

Netanyahu echoed the 1948 Israeli war of independence in his remarks, saying that despite a weapons embargo on Israel, Israelis had fought and defeated the Arab nations who attacked the nascent Jewish state, thanks to their bravery and unity.

"Today, we are much stronger," the prime minister said. "We are determined, and we are united in order to defeat our enemies and those who want to destroy us."

“ If we need to stand alone, we will stand alone," Netanyahu continued.

Netanyahu’s remarks come a day after Biden said that he wouldn’t supply Israel with weapons to attack Rafah, Hamas' last stronghold in Gaza, over concerns about more than one million civilians sheltering there.

"The current inhabitants are not those of the old testament."
You comment makes me think of the Biblical story of Ruth and its meaning. "Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God."

Israel is never alone.

GOD is on her side.

Things will get rough for them for a while but her enemies will never triumph. They will ALL be annihilated.

Why not threaten Egypt with not supplying military aircraft and air defense systems, approved earlier in the Biden administration, unless Egypt opens up the border crossing for civilians?

Perhaps Israel can use recoiless rifles/guns, mortars and RPGs to take out many targets.

It is the PFLP and ultimately Hezbollah and and the IRGC, as well.
Hamas didn’t train inside Gaza and pull off Oct 7 alone.

Appropriate, since that is exactly what the Democrats alleged about Trump and Ukraine during one of their impeachment campaigns.

Some paltry votes in Michigan are more important than Israel’s safety to these communist antisemites in the WH.

Odds are they aren’t training on the West Bank either. Probably in Iran or elsewhere.

That wouldn’t make any sense.
Making it easier for Russia to take Ukraine isn’t in our national interest, either. Russia certainly isn’t going to reciprocate by backing away from Cuba and Venezuela, etc., which it uses like a club on us by creating waves of refugees with which to flood or border.

There are still a lot of Americans in America. Israel will never stand alone.

In the 1948 war of independence, “Despite a weapons embargo, Israel had fought and defeated the Arab nations..”

Yes, there was a weapons embargo that included the US - but the embargo wasn’t employed by everyone. At that time, Stalin wanted to be able to have some more influence on what happened in the Middle East, so he got Czechoslovakia (which was a Soviet satellite) to send Israel weapons - to great fanfare in Israel.

Also, the Soviet Union was the first country to recognize Israel as a state. The second was the US, who didn’t want to let Stalin get a march on them. Just a point - but Israel wasn’t entirely alone at that time. ( Then, after a while, when Israel allied itself with the US, the Soviet Union did a 180 and became a strong ally of the Arabs.)

Just saying.

It’s not about the Ukraine and Russia. Or Russia and China or Taiwan. It’s about staying in office, money and power. It doesn’t have to make sense.

I hope that Bibi is reminded that Israel never stands alone unless she is outside of God’s will. If she is, then God will use every oppertunity to bring her to her rìghtful place.

Israel belongs to God. People messing with his land is messing with HIM.
