Israeli leader’s antisemitism claim labelled defamatory as he is warned against pursuing a war without end

Benjamin Netanyahu was accused of slander and pursuing a war without end after he claimed the leaders of France, Canada and the UK were stoking antisemitism and siding with Hamas by demanding he end the two-month blockade of food and aid into Gaza.

In what has become an extraordinary standoff with some of Israel’s closest allies, Netanyahu appeared to deliberately raise the stakes on Thursday night by accusing his western critics of abandoning Israel in a war for its very existence.

Israel’s foreign minister, Gideon Sa’ar, also sought to link the killing of two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington to the recent criticism mounted by European leaders.

    “I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney and Prime Minister Starmer, when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you’re on the wrong side of justice.”

    I absolutely agree Bibi. This is why they are finally starting to stop kissing your behind.

    Germany, the country most loyal to Israel for historical reasons, said the amount of aid entering Gaza was “too little too late”. Germany voted against the EU’s plan to review its trade agreement with Israel to see if it is compliant with the EU’s human rights obligations.

    Meanwhile Germany wants to double down and ensure it is always on the wrong side of justice.

    An umbrella network of Palestinian aid groups said that so far only 119 aid trucks had entered Gaza since Israel eased its blockade on Monday. But distribution has been hampered by looting by groups of men, some of them armed, near the city of Khan Younis, the network said.

    “They stole food meant for children and families suffering from severe hunger,” the network said in a statement, which also condemned Israeli airstrikes on security teams protecting the trucks.

    This is the same shit like before. Israel backs armed groups in Gaza to rob food while attacking security forces that could protect the aid. The goal is to annihilate any functioning structures to then weaponize the aid, either by denying it completely or by using it to lure people from their homes as part of the ethnic cleansing.
