Netanyahu is focused on his power more than anything. That's a big part of this mess. He just can't afford to end the war as it might cost him his govenment.

That's why I don't expect them to reach a deal again. They have the Rafah demolition as a six-month operation, which will help Netanyahu survive longer in power.
 


Some insane stuff has been happening from the admins of those universities and the reaction in the media hasn't been any less crazy.

But US doesnt recognize the ICC. Why they care

They still care about the optics, for some reason. I doubt those reports anyway. Some investigators might be making recommendations, but I'm not sure we're any closer to them issuing an arrest warrant for someone like Netanyahu. We'll see what happens in the next few days.

In addition to that, it seems the government has committed itself to "getting rid of Hamas", which would mean eventually going into Rafah irrespective of any hostage deals. Anything less and the right wingers would probably jump off the ship.

Possibly, yes.

Thing is, the polls don't look good at all for one of them (Smotrich) and overall, if we go to a general election right now, the current govenment is likely to lose and they'll lose their positions.

So in theory, both the far-right ministers and Netanyahu have this mutual threat against each other. However, Netanyahu is a known coward, easy to bend and has more to lose - like his freedom, because of his trial (in which he's suppoed to testify in a few months). He won't take the risk, though I'm not sure how much longer he can juggle everything and keep everyone happy enough in his govenment, the US, the world, etc.

I haven't heard of a six-month plan, but I'll believe anything. It's all about delaying tactics.

We'll see how the current suggested deal is received. Most of the war cabinet tends to support a deal that will be decent enough and are unlikely to keep quiet anymore if Netanyahu prevents it. Things are explosive right now both in government and society.

Hamas does not represent Gazan let alone the entire Palestinian population, yet we hear (they don't want peace). The only ones that refuse peace is the Israelis because they do not want to give land to the indigenous people of the land.

Saying this after Blinken kissed their ass about the deal. I don't know how Blinken can do it much longer. At some point you just look like a fecking idiot.

They can stop him if they want to. They don't, they have been a part of everything planned since the start.

Separating men from the rest should not be allowed at any cost. We know what will happen to them, it will be a bloodbath.

This sound just like Bosnia.

I mean that's pretty much straight out of the genocide handbook. Isolate the men and let them have it, irrespective of whether they're combatants or not.

No doubt Israel, the US and their apologists would continue labelling every adult male casualty as a Hamas one though.
 


I like the sadness in his voice, I know even if they issue the warrant nothing will happen, but officially internationally declaring him a war criminal is unprecedented in modern history for a "free world western leader".

Couldn't listen to more than 30 seconds of that genocidal maniac putting on his best Putin impression.

He somewhat resembles City fans and how they talk about Uefa hating them, or the PL fabricating 115 against them.

The ICC is antisemitic because they didn't wish Happy Passover.
 


The most moral state in the world. Where can anybody find such high standard of morality?
