Israel’s prime minister has piled defiance on defiance,
as any check from the Trump administration falls away.
(Well why do you think that is?
What was your hero Charlie Kirk saying
about it before he was taken out?
)
"Before the war in Gaza began almost two years ago, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, was not known as a risk taker. His rhetoric was bold, his deeds less so. Now, however, by sending the Israeli military into Gaza City, he appears to have dispensed with constraints."
"The operation, which he says is necessary to defeat Hamas but is certain to increase Israel’s isolation as international anger mounts,
(Luke 21:20
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Where did that:
"Oh they are just fighting over there
like they always do."
Crowd go to?
Haven't heard much from yawl lately.
I wonder why?)
"...has already killed many Palestinians and sent hundreds of thousands into flight southward. It risks the lives of the estimated 20 living Israeli hostages. It renders any cease-fire unimaginable for the moment. It has been questioned even by the military’s chief of staff.
To all this, Mr. Netanyahu’s response seems to be:
T"his week, he suggested that Israel should become a “super Sparta,” apparently meaning that the ancient Greek city-state that rose through discipline to become a great military power should inspire the country. Speaking at an economic conference hosted by the Finance Ministry, he said Israel might have to confront “isolation” through “autarky,” or economic self-sufficiency."
“He’s lost it,”
Itamar Rabinovich,
a former Israeli ambassador to the United States, said.
“There are no more red lines.”
(Well if only there was a book
that would tell us what is going to happen
and why, then maybe we could understand things
a lil better and more in depth
and not be so scared or frightened
by what we are witnessing in our time...
Oh!
Wait minute...
There is!
How blessed are we?)
"Vilified by the hostages’ anguished families, confronted by large street protests, fiercely criticized by alienated European allies for the bombardment of Gaza that has taken tens of thousands of Palestinian lives, Mr. Netanyahu only becomes more defiant."
"To them
(Netanyahu's supporters)
he is the irreplaceable “King,”
(Opps!)
"the one man with the mettle to face down
Israel’s enemies on seven fronts."
(Hello?
Anybody home?
7 = completion.
What age do you think we are living in really?
Cause its the end of this one.
"Sign sign, everywhere a sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind")
"His decapitation of Hezbollah in Lebanon and undermining of Iran’s nuclear ambitions through a brief war have led to talk in the region of an imperial Israel."
(It will be their demise
in ways they cant even
begin to imagine.)
"A world drifting under Mr. Trump’s impulsion in an authoritarian direction had helped birth a Bibi unbound. He is emboldened because, as never before, he is confident that, no matter what, this America will have his back."
(And nobody cant figure out why that is?
"What was your hero Charlie Kirk saying
about it before he was taken out?"
Epstein files and Mossad and all.
)
"For all his nationalist and religious support, Mr. Netanyahu is widely loathed. He is suspected by many of putting his own survival before the interests of the nation by prolonging a Gaza war that his critics say should have ended long ago."
(Its the demonic behind him
not the individual himself.)
"Liberal Israel, unbowed despite a rightist tide,
perceives him as shredding
the fundamental values of the state
and the core of Jewish ethics
through the prosecution of a relentless military campaign that continues to kill Palestinian civilians in large numbers without setting an attainable objective."
(Matthew 12:45
the last state of that man
(Israel)
is worse than the first.
Even so shall it be also
unto this wicked generation.
The one we are seeing right now.)
“What Netanyahu is doing now in Gaza is outrageously brutal,” Mr. Olmert (Ehud Olmert, former Israeli prime minister) said. “How can ministers at the highest level say all Gazans are Hamas and then herd them into camps? We are in a fight for the soul of Israel.”
(You have already lost.
You just dont know it yet.)
"During a two-day visit this week by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, there was not a hint of American criticism, even after Israel’s recent attempted assassination of Hamas leaders in Qatar, an important American ally."
(Well I wonder why not?
"What was your hero Charlie Kirk saying
about it before he was taken out?")
"In the end, at least in the view of the hostages’ families and their many outraged supporters, his own survival trumps that of the hostages."
(Its the demonic behind him
not the individual himself.)
"His chosen course has proved to be long and divisive, punctuated by Israeli military ascendancy in the region, but devastating to the Palestinian people and lacerating to his own country."
