#Israel / [l’état-c’est-moi] Netanyahu: Israel won't give in to int'l pressure trying to end war, force elections
As expected, Netanyahu seems to be melding criticism of his personal leadership with criticism of #Israel's policies and actions, leaving no nuance or separation between the two in his comments.
Netanyahu criticized international pressure trying to end Israel's military operation in Gaza before achieving its goals. He also accused the international community of making "false accusations" against Israel's military, government and himself in an attempt to stop the war prematurely.

Hitting back at U.S., Netanyahu rebuffs 'false accusations' meant to force Israel elections, stop Gaza war

#US / Schumer: 'Israel Cannot Survive if It Becomes a Pariah'[…] Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking Jewish elected official in U.S. history and a pro-Israel stalwart, slammed Netanyahu as having 'bowed to the demands of extremists' and warning the Israeli government that it is 'testing U.S. standards for assistance'
This unprecedented call comes amid growing pressure within the Democratic caucus to condition U.S. military assistance to Israel, with eight senators urging #Biden to halt arms sales if Israel fails to improve aid provision to Gaza.
Schumer's speech has been praised by some as historic and gutsy, while the Republican Jewish Coalition accused him of undermining Israel and meddling in its domestic politics.

in reply to oatmeal • • •Give credit to Israeli propagandists. They are subtle and nuanced, not like the Russians.
Their strategy: Conflate Zionism with Judaism. Conflate compassion for Gazans with #antisemitism.
These are false equivalences.

in reply to Robert H • • •@Stinson_108 the sad part is that this still needs to be mentioned even after the Gaza massacre. Not to mention everything that came before it. For most people Israel is still a biblical entity fighting “terrorists”, not a neo-fascist messianist occupation attempting to finish decades long work of displacing another people.
