Defiant Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down on opposition to Palestinian statehood, deepening the divide with Israel’s closest international allies, as cracks in his wartime “unity” government became increasingly evident.

Anger with Netanyahu is also increasingly visible on the streets, even though there is broad public support for the war. On Saturday, protesters gathered in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Caesarea and Kfar Saba, some calling for bolder action to secure the release of hostages, and others demanding the prime minister step down.

One in Jerusalem held a placard that read: “Mothers’ cry: we will not sacrifice our children in the war to save the rightwing.”

      To be fair, they do. Iran, Jordan, and Egypt have tried repeatedly to eliminate Israel entirely.

          No it’s because they hate Jews.

          Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iran, and Lebanon do not give a single fuck about Palestine or Palestinians. They want the land for themselves.

          From 1948 to 1967 Jordan owned the West Bank. And Egypt controlled Gaza.

          No Palestinian state was created then when it could have been. Jordanians and Egyptians built settlements of their own and displaced Palestinians.

          Egypt refuses to take in Palestinians now.

            For hundred of years, the French tried to make the Muslims attack the Jews of North Africa. They wouldn’t. Eventually Israel kidnapped them.

            Israel kidnapped the Yemeni Jews. They hope to return but they can’t because Saudi/US is trying to destroy Yemen.

            Iraqi Jews refuse to leave Badhdad. They love it there.

            Iranian Jews refuse to leave the "evil Iran who wants to kill all Jews.

            White people killed millions of their own Jews.

            Who hates “the Jews”?
