Netanyahu, in his fight for political survival after the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023, has shown a willingness to sacrifice even the country’s core principles—and its most vulnerable citizens.

“Every time the deal is near, he adds new preconditions that torpedo the deal,” a former top official for Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency, told us recently, referring to Netanyahu.

    Well, yes. As soon as his emergency powers go away his ass is gonna get ousted and jailed for corruption. So of course he’s not going to let the killing end until he absolutely has no other choice.

      The war must be eternal, the opponents must be everyone, and he alone must have the right to kill anyone he wants.

      That is what Taiwan’s minority DPP president William Lai (two sons are already US citizens) has been doing, like a chihuahua, barking at CCP whenever DPP polls drop. Think you’re US’s deep state? Not realizing you’re just a pawn? Young people do not fight for DPP for DPP’s previous presient Tsai has already made TW living hell with housing price/salary ratio doubles to 20, only next to Hong Kong.

    I’m guessing whatever hostages have been taken are actually dead, which is why they keep torpedoing the deal.
