Thousands took to the streets across Israel Saturday night to call for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ouster and new elections, in demonstrations spanning from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to Haifa and Caesarea in the north and Be’er Sheva in the south.
At a demonstration in front of the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, Yosef Angel, bereaved father and grandfather of 17-year-old Ofir Angel, who was freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza, said “You stand at the head, and are responsible for the October 7 holocaust. You are trying to escape responsibility and look for someone else to blame, shame on you.”
You’re wrong. Biden fucking hates the guy (and his government). Democrats do too. Why would they like him? Netanyahu has tied Israel extremely closely and nearly solely to the Republican party. He basically campaigned for Trump. After Biden criticized Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Netanyahu timed the announcement of new settlements to Biden’s arrival in Israel just to humiliate him. He did the same thing just hours before his inauguration.
They fought publicly last year with Biden saying that Israel “cannot continue down this road” (about judicial overhaul) with an Israeli diplomat saying that "As long as he is Israel’s prime minister, things are likely to deteriorate.” There have been numerous reports that they have barely spoken and that things have been tense when they have. Biden is reported to have ended that conversation with the never-affectionate “this conversation is over.”
They have like 15 years of bad blood between them, personally and politically.
I don’t think ppl care too much about whether or not they’re best pals. It’s the fact Biden is selling them weapons and trying to get congress to give them 14 billion in aid
OP’s comment was about Biden trying to undermine and weaken Netanyahu because he hates him.
This is what I replied to:
He wasn’t providing vocal weapons, was he? Shipments of military-grade fuck-words, perhaps?
Care about whatever you want but the fact that there’s decades of evidence that they despise each other seems relevant.
