Netanyahu, in his fight for political survival after the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023, has shown a willingness to sacrifice even the country’s core principles—and its most vulnerable citizens.

“Every time the deal is near, he adds new preconditions that torpedo the deal,” a former top official for Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency, told us recently, referring to Netanyahu.

Well, yes. As soon as his emergency powers go away his ass is gonna get ousted and jailed for corruption. So of course he's not going to let the killing end until he absolutely has no other choice.

The war must be eternal, the opponents must be everyone, and he alone must have the right to kill anyone he wants.

I’m guessing whatever hostages have been taken are actually dead, which is why they keep torpedoing the deal.

So, a former top official for Mossad is accusing Netenyahu of torpedoing the deal because the hostages are dead? I don't get your reasoning.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think whatever Israel did to the Palestinians and whatever Palestine did to the Israelis would be such an issue if it came to light the prisoner swap will never happen, including executing them but still claiming they are alive to save face.

So you think the former Mossad leader is accusing Netenyahu of executing the prisoners? I still don't understand what you're saying about he Mossad's leader's accusations against Netenyahu.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

I think the former Mossad leader is unaware of this or in a different department not dealing with the prisoners themselves, and is piecing it together.

Which hostages? Jews or Palestinians?

I swear to god this arse is going to wait till the election to legitimately try make a deal if he even does at all.

They don't care about the hostages. Hostages are a convenient excuser to murder Palestinians.
