Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has told the United States that he opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state once the conflict in Gaza comes to an end.

In a news conference, a defiant Mr Netanyahu vowed to press on with the offensive in Gaza “until complete victory”: the destruction of Hamas and return of the remaining Israeli hostages, adding that it could take “many more months”.

With almost 25,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and 85% of the strip’s population displaced, Israel is under intense pressure to rein in its offensive and engage in meaningful talks over a sustainable end to the war.

    It’s like when two acquaintences are killing brown people screwing and the US one starts to realize how many brown people they’ve killed over decades develop feelings. That country person starts doing nice things and giving Bibi the bouncer from Jersey the other missiles, bombs gifts all the time.

    The person with feelings starts dropping hints that they want more, like “hey this band we both like is playing in a few weeks and I got you tickets. You should take someone you’ve been seeing a lot” or “hey I know you’ve been struggling with money to get reliable death machines transportation so you can use my bombers a beater car. You can use it to blow up military targets come over now so I don’t have to get you anymore and to get us to the concert”.

    Sure it’s a little more direct, but Biden the person with feelings isn’t putting pressure to stop killing brown people on Bibi the bouncer from Jersey the other nor stopping with the killing machines gifts, why ruin a good thing?

    Concert comes around and the other person levels populated cities killing numerous women and children takes someone else. Person with feelings is upset but not emotionally strong enough to stop killing women and children and make peace say no. They can only tell Israel those offensive war machines are for defense make constraints on the usage of the vehicle. It does nothing to change behavior and Bibi the Jersey bouncer the other person just blatantly destroys more civilian homes defies Biden’s their wishes.

    Religious disagreements over land Affairs of the heart really complicate feelings.
