Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu railed Sunday against growing criticism from top ally the United States against his leadership amid the devastating war with Hamas, describing calls for a new election as “wholly inappropriate.”

In recent days, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish official in the country and a strong Israel supporter, called on Israel to hold a new election, saying Netanyahu had “lost his way.” President Joe Biden expressed support for Schumer’s “good speech,” and earlier accused Netanyahu of hurting Israel because of the huge civilian death toll in Gaza.

Netanyahu told Fox News that Israel never would have called for a new U.S. election after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, and denounced Schumer’s comments as inappropriate.

“We’re not a banana republic,” he said. “The people of Israel will choose when they will have elections, and who they’ll elect, and it’s not something that will be foisted on us.”

Palestine already was a country long before Israel invaded its borders.

The region of Palestine has never been a country. Palestinians have always been under the rule.of another. Don't do the Zionists' work for them by being ignorant.

Fun Related Fact: The very word Palestine is derived from Philisitine, the tribes who made up the kingdom of Philistia.

A diocese is not an independent state. It's a province of Rome. Again, there never was a Palestine. Fucking hell this is why Zionists can call the other side ignorant.

The people of Palestine have been ruled over and abused by empire after empire from Alexander the Great.

What about the Nabeteans? The Nabeteans absorbed the Qederites and the Edomites (who made up Palestine south of Beersheba). They ruled till the Romans absorbed their kingdom late 1st century.

Edit: Also, it seems that the Nabatean royal family and the Idumean royal families seem to be related more than just the marriage of Harold Antipas.

Also, comtemparies of Jesus like Strabo thought the Idumeans were Nabeteans (the confusion makes sense when you reliaze all of the Canaanite Kingdoms (except Israel/Samaria) were absorbed by the Arabs by 400 BC.

My point is I consider Kingdom of Nabeteans to be mostly consisting of people who's kingdoms already existed in the region of Palestine (the extremely similar Qederites along with the Edomites and Judahites). But I admit this can be a stretch since no one knows xactly where the Nabeteans came from.

I also have to find the article mentioning the Nabeteans absorbing the Edomites as too many sources suggest EVERY last Edomite moved to the area around Beersheba.
