Benjamin Netanyahu was accused of slander and pursuing a war without end after he claimed the leaders of France, Canada and the UK were stoking antisemitism and siding with Hamas by demanding he end the two-month blockade of food and aid into Gaza.
In what has become an extraordinary standoff with some of Israel’s closest allies, Netanyahu appeared to deliberately raise the stakes on Thursday night by accusing his western critics of abandoning Israel in a war for its very existence.
Israel’s foreign minister, Gideon Sa’ar, also sought to link the killing of two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington to the recent criticism mounted by European leaders.
Oh noooo. The war criminal leading a genocide now also commited slander? How dare he?! Can we really let such a henious crime like slander slip?!
That guy who wants to kill all Palestinians everywhere lied! He’s a liar!
I hope a meteor lands on all four of them. Nethanyahu might deserve it most, but the rest of them are terrible humans as well.
“I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer, when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you’re on the wrong side of justice.”
I absolutely agree Bibi. This is why they are finally starting to stop kissing your behind.
Germany, the country most loyal to Israel for historical reasons, said the amount of aid entering Gaza was “too little too late”. Germany voted against the EU’s plan to review its trade agreement with Israel to see if it is compliant with the EU’s human rights obligations.
Meanwhile Germany wants to double down and ensure it is always on the wrong side of justice.
An umbrella network of Palestinian aid groups said that so far only 119 aid trucks had entered Gaza since Israel eased its blockade on Monday. But distribution has been hampered by looting by groups of men, some of them armed, near the city of Khan Younis, the network said.
“They stole food meant for children and families suffering from severe hunger,” the network said in a statement, which also condemned Israeli airstrikes on security teams protecting the trucks.
This is the same shit like before. Israel backs armed groups in Gaza to rob food while attacking security forces that could protect the aid. The goal is to annihilate any functioning structures to then weaponize the aid, either by denying it completely or by using it to lure people from their homes as part of the ethnic cleansing.

Accused of slander? Netanyahu? I can’t believe it! He seemed like a such a good person… /s
BTW: We should really stop referring to what’s happening in the Gaza strip (and elsewhere) as “war”.
Also, can’t we call Gaza as Palestine? I hope that there’s no problem for us to acknowledge these people have the right to live where they are (were).
Err… the term Palestine (or “Palestinian territories”, if one swings that way) is appropriate when one wants to reference the Gaza Strip and West Bank together.
The (shocking and extremely worrying) levels of violence and illegal actions from Israel in the West Bank is incomparable with the mass killings the IDF is perpetrating in the Gaza strip (also, I’ve not heard the term “war” used to describe the situation in the West Bank), hence my specific reference to the Gaza strip.
Trying to say even very sensible things about the Middle east without triggering anyone is sure extenuating… I really respect the (so far fruitless) efforts of those diplomats who have been trying their hardest to get people to make sense of the whole mess of reach some (any!) sensible agreement.
It’s just like the western media deliberately dances around avoiding calling them Palestine.
Yes, Gaza is Gaza, just like Texas is Texas. But Gaza is a part of Palestine, as Texas is a part of United States.
However, while the media easily put the word United States while writing about Texas, the same cannot be said about Palestine and Gaza.
