“The rift over the war in Gaza between Israel and the United States, its closest ally, broadened on Sunday when Israel’s prime minister accused a top-ranking American lawmaker of treating his country like a “banana republic.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is facing increasing pressure to negotiate a cease-fire, lashed out at Senator Chuck Schumer over his call for elections to be held in Israel when the war winds down. In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Mr. Netanyahu suggested that Mr. Schumer, the Senate majority leader, was trying to topple his government and said his call for an election was “totally inappropriate.”
The Jews made a case that the world stood by and watched the Nazis murder six million Jews. Most all of the citizens did not know this Genocide was going on. They did not witness these atrocities’, as the whole world in a witness to the Genocide of the Palestinians – that I am convinced is a payback lesson by Extremely Psychotics Religious Zealots who took over Israel in recent elections. As in my democracy, right-wing religious fanatics running for office, invoke this kind of revenge for past wrongs.
The Bloody Zionist Banana State – betrayed the President of the United States – and other leaders. They want Trump in the White House giving them the green light to do what they will. Trump wants the highly trained IDF in his back pocket – and will use them as his shock troops – all over the world! Jews in he Diaspora will be Trump’s Mercenary Army that will defy NATO and the UN. Will they be America’s Intelligence agendy?
Write the President and other leaders and call for the arrest of the Brutal Banana Bombers.

The Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel said Saturday that Benjamin Netanyahu’s prospective incoming government must pass a bill allowing the Knesset to override High Court of Justice rulings, backing a demand by ultra-Orthodox parties and declaring Israel an “Orthodox state.”
The far-right and ultra-Orthodox parties in Netanyahu’s bloc of supporters — which won a 64-member majority in the 120-seat Knesset in the election earlier this month, and is expected to form Israel’s most right-wing government ever — have been demanding that legislation be passed that would allow any 61 lawmakers to overrule decisions by the country’s top court, a demand critics warn could upend Israel’s democratic system of balance between the parliament, the executive and the judiciary.
Israel’s Haredi community leaders have long deplored some High Court rulings, such as those recognizing non-Orthodox Jewish streams and a ruling requiring the state to equally enlist ultra-Orthodox youth to the army — a non-starter for many parts of the community.
President Biden has been personally involved in intense efforts in recent days to reach a hostage and ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, which he sees as a crucial element of a much wider strategy at home and abroad, U.S. officials say.
Why it matters: The president’s senior advisers say the deal on the table right now is the only conceivable path to a ceasefire in Gaza and to possibly ending a war that has drawn sharp criticism of Biden among some of his key supporters ahead of the presidential election.
The latest: White House spokesperson John Kirby admitted on Tuesday that Biden is putting all his focus on the hostage deal. “There just has to be a deal,” he said when asked about a plan B if negotiations aren’t successful.
- “If we can get a ceasefire, we can get something more enduring and then maybe end the conflict and then maybe move forward with normalization [between Israel and Saudi Arabia], but it has to start with a deal and getting these people back to their families,” he said.

UN Secretary-General Guterres ‘strongly encourages’ Israel, Hamas to agree to deal
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says after seven months of the war on Gaza, the situation for Palestinians in the enclave is “worsening by the day”.
“I have called consistently for a humanitarian ceasefire, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages and a massive surge in humanitarian aid. Unfortunately, that has not happened – yet. But negotiations are once again underway,” Guterres said.
“For the sake of the people of Gaza, for the sake of the hostages and their families in Israel, and for the sake of the region and the wider world, I strongly encourage the government of Israel and the Hamas leadership to reach an agreement.
“Without that, I fear the war, with all its consequences, both in Gaza and across the region, will worsen exponentially.”
