Ha’aretz: Will No One Rid Us of This Horrible Prime Minister?

by | Mar 26, 2024

The Likud is running Israel into the grave with a lot of their Palestinian victims. Well, Ukraine has lost millions of people to emigration during the current war. Maybe the Israelis can go and create and ethno-exclusivist state there. I hear they’re really into that kind of thing.

Ha’aretz Editorial Board:

Netanyahu Has Become Israel’s Agent of Destruction

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can now add a diplomatic crisis with Israel’s closest ally, the American superpower – Israel’s protector overseas, which has gone out of its way to stand with it since the war began – to his list of glorious failures. On Monday, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire during the month of Ramadan and the immediate and unconditional release of all the hostages held by Hamas. Previous such resolutions have failed, but this one passed, because the United States abstained instead of exercising its veto.

But instead of admitting that he had once again failed, immediately changing his attitude toward Washington, apologizing to Israelis for the diplomatic tsunami he has brought upon them and resigning in embarrassment over his reckless policy, which brought Israel to the brink of the abyss on October 7, he opted to continue to decry and provoke the Americans.

Following the vote, Netanyahu canceled a planned trip to Washington by a delegation led by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi. He also accused Washington of abandoning “the consistent U.S. position” and thereby “harming the war effort.” Without a drop of humility, his office even accused America of undermining the effort to free the hostages and giving a tailwind to Hamas. It was just a step away from accusing the Americans of supporting terror, as per the automatic response of Netanyahu’s poison machine.
