During a video address directed at the people of Lebanon, Netanyahu said: "You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza.

Can someone explain to me how this is going to help get the hostages back? I was told this was about hostages.

[-] DarkDarkHouse 35 points 1 month ago

No, this war is about Total Victory, whatever that is.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 month ago

Like some kind of Final Solution.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Probably something like Total War.

Total Victory against Me being Deposed and Thrown In Jail for my War Crimes

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 20 points 1 month ago

Netanyahu and his cronies don't care about the hostages. They care about retaining their power. He knows he's done for once this war ends. He's hated both by the world and his own citizens.

Threatening violence against civilians in the pursuit of political aims, huh? If only we had a word for that.

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

like we see in Gaza.

Putrid bastard can't even own his own genocide. It's what You're, or We're meaning Israel, is doing to Gaza.

The worst kind of coward, a bloodthirsty one.

Maybe he should focus on maintaining peace if he doesn't want his own country to turn into bloody ashes

[-] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 1 month ago

I don’t think he wants peace at all. I think if there’s peace, he will lose his position as PM and lose its power with it.

He would be fine with a full out war because he knows US will help him.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

He was about to lose power before 10/7...

And has been refusing to allow elections because of the genocides he won't stop committing ever since.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

He will also go to jail for corruption if he loses his position.

[-] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

And who's going to do that as long as the US extends endless military and financial support? Bibi slaughtered tens of thousands of children with nothing more than a furrowed brow at the State Department. We send Israel so many bombs that it exceeds our military transport capacity and we're chartering private carriers for part of the load. At every turn, the US has confirmed to Israel that it can act with impunity and retain our guarantee of support.

I just can't see why anyone would hate him/Isreal. They cleared so much space for schools and hospitals by destroying old, run down schools and hospitals. I mean such hazardous work being done for free! Such a generous man, and all that military protection. How can you not love this regime!?!

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 month ago

It's just plain old antisemitism. No need to dig any deeper than that.

Hey, I said no digging!

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

He continues to be so out of it.
