In reply to the discussion: 13,000 dead children in Gaza [View all]radius777
(3,635 posts)134. And Bibi/Likud have been intentionally provoking
the population for years now, while also secretly propping up Hamas. Likud wanted a war with Hamas to use as a pretext for ethnic cleansing and theft of Gaza. Likud simply did not think the attack would be that big or that it would happen when it did.
The Palestinian people are the ultimate victims here - and it's our job as Americans to stop funding Israel until there is regime change - this amoral regime that is full of far-right racists and nationalists (such as Ben-Gvir and Smotrich) that has intentionally brought about this crisis.
for those of us who want to thwart a two state solution, we need to strengthen Hamas and funnel them money. Its part of our strategy. - Benjamin Netanyahu to Likud members, 2019

If you can't see the difference between Hamas intentionally going out to kill babies in their cribs in Israel...
