Completely unsurprising to see Nage and Skeeter on the side of the pro-war far right while thousands of Israeli’s stand against Netanyahu and opposition parties even have to promise to support him to try to convince him to stop listening the psychos like Gvir:
Quote:
Netanyahu is facing domestic pressure, both from opposition leaders to get a ceasefire agreement on the table, and from ministers within his own party not to back down on Israel’s original war goals. Families of Israelis being held hostage are meanwhile urging him to accept the proposal.
Protesters took to the streets of several cities across Israel on Saturday, demanding Netanyahu’s resignation and for early elections to be held.
They also demanded the release of all hostages held in Gaza and for the Israeli government to accept the latest proposal laid out by Biden.
…
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid wrote on X Saturday that Israel’s government “cannot ignore President Biden’s significant speech.”
Lapid said he was offering Netanyahu a “safety net,” saying he would support him in securing a hostage deal if far-right ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich left the government.
Gvir, Israel’s National Security Minister, had previously threatened to leave Netanyahu’s coalition if a ceasefire is reached before Israel achieves its declared war aims.
Also in his speech on Saturday, Biden alluded to the tensions in the Israeli government, making a direct appeal to ordinary Israelis to voice their support for a hostage agreement that would result in a ceasefire.
“I know there are those in Israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for the war to continue indefinitely. Some, some are even in the government coalition,” he said.
The international pressure Netanyahu’s government is facing to end the war in Gaza has also been mounting, as the conflict approaches its ninth month.

Seems strange that the families of hostages would be protesting Netanyahu. Aren’t we being told that he definitely wants the hostages released? What is there to protest?
Oh, right, when you want indefinite war more than you want hostages released, a ceasefire is off the table. Should be completely obviously to anyone by now what the priorities of guys like Gvir and his biggest supporters like Nage are. Disgusting.
The best thing that can happen at this point is that Netanyahu agrees to Biden’s proposal, the far right elements abandon Netanyahu, and he exists as a figurehead held up by the opposition just long enough to satisfy his ego and is then put out to pasture forever.
