Great, some Likud nutter in the Knesset. And, listed as an "Israeli Official". BS Headline. Israel knows that even the US would have to walk away if nukes were used. This is unrealistic babble.I dont think this would ever happen, but reveals how typical, extremist zealots in govt think.
Israeli official calls for "doomsday" nuclear missile option
The lawmaker said the time has passed to have "mercy" on militant terrorists.www.newsweek.com
that is a bit fustrating, trying to find the minute marker. Will let you know if I find it.Understand. I would normally post original links.
Here is the full hearing from the PBS Youtube page.
Yeah. We can put at least one argument to bed. Biden was clearly outraged at what he saw and visibly angry. With 100% backing by the US - Gaza is going to be worse than battles in Fallujah and Ramadi.Remarks by President Biden on the Terrorist Attacks in Israel | The White House
State Dining Room 2:24 P.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. You know, there are moments in this life — and I mean this literally — when the pure, unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world. The people of Israel lived through one such moment this weekend. The bloody hands of the terrorist...www.whitehouse.gov
his actual statement and not a fox/nypost opinion of what they think he said, no where does he say he saw these images
/edit i was going on an earlier statement he had put out, no he definitely said he saw it, i believe the video is timed right but if not, just past the 17:00 mark
that is a bit fustrating, trying to find the minute marker. Will let you know if I find it.
edit:
I cannot find it, the above video flashes to the reporter, but the pbs video doesn't show that on the time line. The X video doesn't let me click around and search for other cues.
edit 2:
After watching the X video you linked a bit more I think it is fake.
I have not watched the entirety of the pbs video, but the overlays and skips, and focus on the questioner in the X video don't match anything I saw in the pbs video. The official video does not seem to flash to any of the questioners. It stays focused on the spokesperson the entire time.
probably hoping to draw Iran in or something when Israel escalates it too far.Yeah. We can put at least one argument to bed. Biden was clearly outraged at what he saw and visibly angry. With 100% backing by the US - Gaza is going to be worse than battles in Fallujah and Ramadi.
From reports I've been watching on YouTube, many, and probably most Palestinians do not want to evacuate. This is their home and rightly so.
HAMAS appears to want a bloody conflict. I’m at a loss to fully understand their thinking. What kind of thinking would lead HAMAS to believe anything good could come out of this?
And we have given Eqypt as much as 3B/year in no large part because of Israel . . . to leave them alone.We already give then almost 4B/year , , ,
Yeah, so Biden hasn’t seen any evidence of babies being decapitated.
The ironing is delicious.Just another example of idiots believing whatever propaganda the television tells them is true.
Historically, Palestinian deaths lead the world into condemning Israel. If that becomes strong enough, Israel would face a blockade. Israel would die.HAMAS appears to want a bloody conflict. I’m at a loss to fully understand their thinking. What kind of thinking would lead HAMAS to believe anything good could come out of this?
That is coming from X ... promoting X for real information is promoting it for disinformation.Yeah, so Biden hasn’t seen any evidence of babies being decapitated.
That is why the X video is fake, the questions and the cuts.Verified the video. It's legit.
Here is the transcript of the presser from state.gov. Went through each part of the video(the jump-cuts) and picked out keywords to search the transcript. Then read the transcript while listening to the video. Matched up. The transcript misses/doesn't pick up parts of the question's from the reporters though (cross talk). But those parts seem consistent as well. It's good these reporters are asking those questions.
Department Press Briefing – October 10, 2023 - United States Department of State
3:00 p.m. EDT MR MILLER: Good afternoon, everyone. Start with some brief comments. I would like to begin by reiterating our condolences to the families of those who were killed by Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel, including the 14 American citizens who we know have died.

When you are basically in a prison not allowed to do much of anything people,have lots of time for fucking.Per the CIA, nearly 40% of the Gaza’s Strip’s population is under the age of 15.
ABC—In response to the assault, Israel on Monday carried out a "complete siege," cutting off power and blocking food and water from being delivered to the Gaza Strip -- where, according to the CIA, nearly 40% of the population of 2 million is under the age of 15.

Hamas makes the rockets. They are really crude.Israel is walking right into it.
stupid stupid stupid.
Hamas is an Iranian proxy and Iran is the only one benefiting here. Right when Israel was about to normalize relations with its neighbors. It is so obvious. Just stop and think for a moment.
Who gave Hamas the rockets? Who paid their salaries? Wake up Israel, Gaza isn't your real enemy.
some of them yes. But not all.Hamas makes the rockets. They are really crude.
“One of the members can be seen with an uncommon F-7 HE-Frag rocket, originally produced in #NorthKorea (#DPRK).”'
RFA was not able to conclusively determine if the weapon was North Korean, but its shape closely resembles the F-7 as depicted in the North Korean Small Arms and Light Weapons Recognition Guide published in May by the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey research project.
Experts said that Palestinians have historically used North Korean weapons, which may have been first purchased by Iran or Syria, and then smuggled to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, circumventing an Israeli-Egyptian blockade that has been in place since 2007.
The people of Gaza are oppressed by circumstances created by multiple nation states in the region INCLUDING ISRAEL!...And Egypt and Lebanon, they’ve certainly helped bottle up Gaza and they like having Gaza as a thorn in Israel's side. When Israel was giving the Sinai back to Egypt back in the 1970’s they offered to throw in Gaza as part of the deal. The Egyptians didn’t want it. Hamas and other terrorist organizations do not want Palestinians to leave Gaza. They want them to be victims. The main point of many players in the mid-east is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Moving Palestinians or even helping them does not play into this long-game for them.
Hamas knows this and intentionally behaves in such a way that these sorts of measures are seen as necessary. Even this attack is calculated specifically to be as heinous as possible and ensure that Israel responds. That’s been Hamas SOP since 2007 when they took power. Unlike Fatah who are in power in the West Bank, they have absolutely no interest in negotiating a way forward. Palestinian suffering directly benefits Hamas so long as they can keep anger directed at Israel rather than themselves. The whole point of the attacks on music festival goers, children and other civilians was to provoke a huge response and get lots of Palestinian civilians killed. The leaders of Hamas and those that enable them don’t give a shit about their own civilians; they want full and complete control over the territory.
These circumstances have created a breeding ground for hate-filled militants. Hamas has never had ANY incentive to support economic development, since that would cut into their recruiting. Things like travel restrictions only make those circumstances worse. Israel has leveled the place. Israel must take the - you broke it ... you bought it approach. They were the ones who helped create the Gaza Strip festering pot of rage and suffering to begin with, so once they wipe out Hamas, they should fucking fix the place, what was termed the world’s largest open-air prison.
It helps that Hamas leader...what's-his-name, is bravely leading from fucking Qatar. lol. So it’s not like HE has personal stake in the matter. At least until he suffers a tragic fall out a window, or he is hit by a “stray bullet” fired from a yacht a mile out to sea. Being in Qatar will not shield this guy from Israel.
Israel has had a policy of containment, hoping Hamas will burn out or mellow over time. Clearly that hasn’t happened, and Hamas has proven they cannot be contained. And, containment imposes its own cost, embittering the lives of Palestinians and ensuring they stick with Hamas.
At this point de-escalation with Hamas is impossible. They are most likely going to be destroyed as we know it today. But once that’s done, and Fatah who runs the West Bank or someone else is put in charge, Israel must ... A, protect them from a resurgent Hamas or whatever other extremist groups pop up, with military force if necessary, and B, ensure they’re actually able to improve the lives of Gazans who are still left or decide to come back, so they have something to lose by going back to Hamas.
But, the sad reality is, I think it’s absurd to suggest that Palestinians could realistically attain a non -“sucky” degree of rights and freedom if only they’d get rid of Hamas. The Israeli government has made it very clear that they have no interest in that potential future, and in fact have expansionist objectives that directly conflict with it. But it's their only real option to try get out from under Hamas and those enablers, There is no other way forward and the world should hold Israel accountable.
