Bezalel Smotrich, Israel's far-right finance minister, has said that he was given assurances that the war on Gaza would continue and Israel would launch a "gradual takeover of the entire Gaza Strip".

Smotrich said that Gaza was currently "ruined and disintegrated, uninhabitable" an that it would "remain that way".

He added: "Don't be impressed by the forced joy of our enemy. This is an animalistic society that sanctifies death. Very soon, we will erase their smile again and replace it with cries of grief and the wails of those who were left with nothing."

Netanyahu said in a video address on Saturday that Israel would continue its war on Gaza in "new, forceful ways" if the second stage of the ceasefire agreement proved to be "futile".

"President [Donald] Trump and President Biden have given full backing to Israel's right to return to combat if Israel concludes that negotiations on Phase B are futile."

"This is an animalistic society that sanctifies death."

Does he see the irony in this statement?

In positive news, the ICJ won't have anymore issues proving the "intent" part of the genocide claims, he pretty much spelled it out for them.

“Don’t be impressed by the forced joy of our enemy. This is an animalistic society that sanctifies death. Very soon, we will erase their smile again and replace it with cries of grief and the wails of those who were left with nothing.”

Wow.

It's astonishing sometimes how deep the delusional evil runs in the Israeli right.

He starts that statement off trying to claim that the Gazans are "an animalistic society," and then without missing a beat shifts to doing nothing but vividly demonstrating that in fact he and his allies are the actual animals.

They truly are among the most foul and loathsome and vile abominations to have ever crawled across the face of the Earth.

Sounds like something out of Mein Kampf.

I am surprised how “Israeli” soldiers dont ask these people to be in the front line.

They siege a refuge camp for almost 2 months, no food or aid enters, no one can leave, all they managed to do was murdering children and women and kidnapping a hospital staff.

By the end of it, hamas announced they bombed 25 soldiers and rescue teams.

They literally achieve nothing, other than progressing their genocide plans.

If they had capture Sinwar alive it could have been some sort of victory, but they show the world he was not hiding in a tunnel nor wearing women clothing, he was doing exactly what he told them he is doing and they made him an inspiration for future generation.

The generation that will grow without mothers because the genocide attempt.

A lot of the pathetic IDF "soldiers" are happy with murdering women and children though. Many have proudly shared videos of their warcrimes online. They dont want to fight against an adversary. They want so slaughter people to further their "Lebensraum" as they consider themselves the superior race.

FFS Smotrich refered to himself as fascist. Ben Gvir is from the "Jewish Power" party.

Israel is a country with a strong embrace for open fascism and an even stronger agreement with fascism without calling it that explicitly.

If they ever want to return from that to sanity it will require a reeducation campaign where every Israeli will need to go through years of reeducation, psychological treatment and a lot of them through years in prison or lifelong imprisonment.

Palestinians assure you that they will resist no matter what

[–] SparrowHawk@feddit.it 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Will you accept this words with your "civility"? Do you think they deserve any dialogue, these all-consuming monsters? Aren't you tired of the stockholm syndrome they make you call "peace"?

Peace was never an option, they made it clear. If demons they want to be then slayers we must become
