Netanyahu pushes back against new pressure over Gaza and hostages: ‘No one will preach to me’
Associated Press ^ | September 2, 2024 | Tia Goldenberg

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday pushed back against a new wave of pressure to reach a cease-fire deal in Gaza after hundreds of thousands of Israelis protested and went on strike and U.S. President Joe Biden said he needed to do more after nearly 11 months of fighting.

In his first public address since Sunday’s mass protests showed many Israelis’ furious response to the discovery of six more dead hostages, Netanyahu said he will continue to insist on a demand that has emerged as a major sticking point in talks — continued Israeli control of the Philadelphi corridor, a narrow band along Gaza’s border with Egypt where Israel contends Hamas smuggles weapons into Gaza. Egypt and Hamas deny it.

Netanyahu called the corridor vital to ensuring Hamas cannot rearm via tunnels. “This is the oxygen of Hamas,” he said.

And he added: “No one is more committed to freeing the hostages than me. But no one will preach to me.” […]

… (O)thers support Netanyahu’s drive to continue the campaign in Gaza, which was triggered by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack into Israel and has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in the territory. Netanyahu says the assault will force militants to give in to Israeli demands, potentially facilitate rescue operations and ultimately annihilate the group. …

Re: "No one will preach to me..."

The bias-free Associated Press wrote a headline with the one sentence in Netanyahu's comments that can be mis-interpreted.

They consider the palestinians a version of useful idiot. Even if they managed to kill every right leaning individual, leaving only leftists and palestinians to fight, the left figures they’d win that conflict.

After all, it’s the leftist money keeping these folks alive (e.g. lifting iran sanctions).

All they’d have to do is turn that spigot off. The medieval barbarians have no ability to function or compete otherwise.

When palestinians have something bad to say about a right wing government, they amplify it. When they try it on their own leftists, they censor it if possible.

Same thing happens here with the leftist press.

Infiltrated. Hamas admitted it. Next, they will release videos of the hostages last words and finish with machine gun murders of all for the cameras. Sure, meet all the Hamas demands and they might give up a few hostages. Why not agree to rebuild Hamastan as a ‘war crimes’ compensation? Why not force all Israelis to ‘convert to Islam or die’? //SARC// The only fair cease fire is an unconditional surrender of all weapons and Sinwar’s head on a pike.

Biden brought us the horror of Afghanistan, the endless war of Ukraine, and a country so divided we hate each other...

Biden’s done enough damage.

Biden needs to shut the eff up and let the duly elected leader of Israel run the country he was elected (with no fraud, tricks or ‘intelligence’ lies) to run.

Should they, especially the women, take their protests to Gaza?

The same organizations were protesting Netanyahu in January 2023. Not a typo. January 2023. It’s not even really about hostages. It’s a Color Revolution against a duly elected government.

Agreed. You don’t negotiate with Hamas, they’re murderers. You exterminate them.

If these demon strators would only wake up to their absolute stupidity. They are working for HAMAStinians! They only embolden their enemy with every demonstration. The Palestinians want every Jew dead! Yahyeh Sinwar is laughing as he sees the effects of a divided Israel. The protestors could turn this in one hour if they would all get in their vehicles and head to the Gaza border! Take their anger out on who it belongs - HAMAS and the Palestinian people who murdered and kidnapped on October 7, 2023! UNITE in the defeat and destruction of HAMAS! Everyone should volunteer to take up arms at the border and search every square inch of Gazastan! They should not stop until they reach the Egyptian border! Send a clear message to the radical Islamists that they are dead men walking. Find them and make them unconditionally surrender.

Sounds like they intentionally are seeking national suicide/genocide.

I doubt very much that any hostage will be allowed to give testimony concerning their captivity. No more will make it out alive. But watch them place the hostages in harms way so they can claim Israel killed them.

As the dad said in Red Dawn, “Avenge me!!!”
I’m afraid that is all that is left.

It wasn’t clear how the Israelis found the dead hostages. Were they hunting down Hamas when they came across the dead hostages?
___________________________________
As the Israelis were going in for the rescue, they found all 6 “freshly” dead. The hamist knew the Israelis were soon to pounce, so the swine muzzies tortured and then murdered the hostages.

The only way to stop this is for a total wipeout. Like how God would wipe out whole counties. Sodom. Boom Gone. You cant negotiate with evil.
