David Broder posted the picture on the left and I had to go find the original. ✊
Text extract from Guardian article: "For two years after the October 2023 attacks, Netanyahu undermined ceasefire talks with Hamas in Gaza and blocked potential deals by adding new conditions or changing his mind at the last minute. He also tried to stall negotiations by assassinating Hamas leaders involved in the talks, and even ordered a brazen Israeli airstrike on Hamas officials meeting in Qatar, a US ally, to consider a ceasefire proposal that had been submitted by Israel and Washington. Despite Netanyahu's obstinance, Israel continued to receive unconditional political support and tens of billions of dollars in US weapons, under both Joe Biden's administration and Trump's. Is it any surprise that Netanyahu concluded that Israel can bomb virtually anyone and anywhere in the Middle East, with impunity? By late 2025, Israel had attacked Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Yemen that year - without losing the flow of US weapons or Washington's political cover at the United Nations and other international institutions. Of course, Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, which killed at least 70,000 Palestinians and instigated a famine, paved the way for Israel to flout international law."
With unwavering US support under both Biden and Trump, is it any surprise that Netanyahu concluded that Israel can bomb virtually anyone and anywhere in the Middle East, with impunity? — my latest for @theguardian.com | www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
