If it's wrong for Benny Gantz to meet with the Biden administration against the wishes of Netanyahu ...

[Earth-shine]

Let us remember that Bibi met with our congress without consulting Obama in 2015.

Netanyahu was invited to address Congress by House Speaker John Boehner, in a move that didn't include Democrats. The plan has also rankled the Obama administration because it breaks with a U.S. policy of not hosting foreign leaders who are about to face an election.

"The move has created bad blood between Netanyahu and Obama, and relations between the two countries have suffered,"

Gantz wants the ceasefire.

Oh, this is good ...

Netanyahu leaned on his top rival to help unify Israel. Now, Benny Gantz is more popular

1. Good for Gantz. Hope it helps ceasefire negotiations.

As for warmonger Netanyahu, Israel should kick his corrupt ass to the curb. He as big an obstacle to peace and a two-state solution as Hamas is.

3. The people of Israel were on their way to ousting Netanyahu before Hamas threw him a lifeline with their attack. nt

7. We have heard the Israelis ingored intelligence that suggested the attack would occur.

That lifeline could go both ways.

The only ones who want the war are the present administration of Israel, Hamas, and of course, any third parties that are profiting from it. Weapons and war are big business.

4. Both Israelis and Gazans need regime change.

From the second article ...

The former military chief of staff has seen his public support soar. Polls show he would earn enough support to become prime minister if elections were held today.

In contrast, Netanyahu’s backing has collapsed. Many Israelis blame the prime minister for failing to prevent the Hamas attack, which killed 1,200 Israelis, most of them civilians.

2. Stay safe, Benny

And Godspeed. Which I don’t often say.

5. The visit...

To the WH and VP Harris' speech in Alabama clearly indicate that they are done with trying to negotiate with bibi and that going around him is the only way to affect change in this issue. Bibi has us blackmailed on some issue and has been using his leverage to hold us at bay so he can go on his genocidal rampage. Time's up.
