Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah.
Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, was speaking on Thursday after Israeli and Hamas delegations left the ceasefire negotiations in Cairo.
It was unclear whether the talks had broken down or simply paused, but the failure to reach an agreement on this week’s round of meetings raised apprehension of an imminent Israeli attack on Rafah.
Netanyahu appeared to shrug off a public warning from the US president, Joe Biden, the previous night that if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a major offensive on the city the US would not provide bombs and artillery shells to support the operation.
Victimitation
lol did he think that made them sound strong or tough, or does he realize it makes him sound like an emotional manbaby?
My first thought was that he’s starting to sound like Putin.
Emotionally disturbed if you ask me
OK. Do it.
A) Most people don’t believe that the only way Israel is able to fight off the evil Palestinians is because of bid daddy US.
B) The 13,000 Palestinian children you have murdered would’ve been happy to be able to defend themselves against fingernails.
He demands his nailjob payed by someone or what?
Maybe the US should just stop arming Israel and give the arms to Gaza instead and see how that plays out.
I can’t believe this bullshit has gone on for so long
Nobody can believe the shit has gone on so far with Russia and Ukraine but here we are 2 years later.
This conflict with Israel is looking to go on for just as long if not longer.
Were you born last year?a

Didn’t expect anything less from a troll
The conflict with Israel has gone on for 76 years. October 7th was just the start of a cycle of intensification within the larger conflict.
Thats something that a lot of people seem to forget. This fight has been going on in one form or another since the creation of the modern state of Israel. And there is an almost unlimited amount of blood on the hands of both the Israelis and Palestinians. (As well as the colonial countries who set up the borders in the first place)
For sure, Hamas would never use the weapons for anything else than in a pure defensive manner. Can guarantee it.
Hamas is a wholesome book club.
/S
my brother in christ, this is exactly the point. isis-ra-el is only emboldened by foreign weapons. cut that shit in half and give the other half to the palestinians and shit changes. without foreign support vis-a-vis british zionists in the 30s and 40s and current american tax money isis-ra-el would have been de-platformed already
Atleast they don’t use white phosphorus on civilians and blast children with tanks at point blank.
/s oh wait the s is not required
So Israel is no better than a terrorist organisation is what youre saying
None of the parties should be armed by an external force. This conflict is eating an insane amount of attention but has a miniscule importance for anyone not involved. It’s actually insane how many westerners makes up their whole identity by this conflict.
Europe and the US have enough to worry about with themselves. Russia is a direct threat to freedom in Europe, and people here are worrying about some dispute far away that doesn’t affect them at all.
Arming any part in this conflict is dumb.
No power wars directly. It’s been proxy wars for forever.
Yea, give more weapons to terrorists. What could go wrong? The Lemmy community has truly gone insane
i mean why not the us gave weapons to terrorists in the 80s
Yeah and 9 times out of 11 that never came back to bite us.
This is an amazing response.
That sounds a lot less likely to murder innocents.
This was the first thought that came to mind:
And I’m sure they’ll be just as heroic.
Fingernails is a euphemism for nukes.
Nukes in Palestine? Even Russia can’t use nukes safely in Ukraine due to the potential pollution of their own territory.
Good, then let them fight with their fingernails. STOP ALL MONEY & WEAPONS TO ISRAEL.
Sounds like there isn’t any issue if we stop all arms shipments then. See ya Bibi bitch.
He looks like an angry toddler in that picture
His skin tone is so different from everybody else’s, it’s weird.
well fingernails are better than bombs and white phosphorous

Political theatre.
US keeps trying to pretend and appear rational, peaceful, trying to end “war”, then ships a ton more to start the slaughter. Then US sends another warning…
The US is the really annoying parent in a grocery store counting to 3 over and over to try to get their child under control.
Let them
They will also be fighting with:
- Toothpicks
- Plastic straws
- Cotton balls
- Rubber bands
- Feather boas
- Marbles
- Jump ropes
- Paper clips
- Marshmallows
- Bubbles
Don’t they have cows also? They could Monty Python and the Holy Grail-style attack them as well.
