Americans Are Not Happy With Netanyahu But…
CrossFireArabia- June 20, 2024
The video of Benjamin Netanyahu, especially made by the Israeli Prime Minister calling on US President Joe Biden to resume the supplies of 2000-pound bombs to Israel has been getting mixed receptions from those on the social media and US politicians.
One sees Netanyahu as “begging” for the re-supply of the destructive MK86 buster bombs, initially and willingly provided by the United States, so that Israel can drop on different parts of Gaza.
Back in May Biden said he would put a “pause” on the supply of these bombs because Netanyahu was in the process of ordering his troops to enter Gaza and to give him these kinds of bombs would literally obliterate the southern city as he did elsewhere in the Gaza Strip.
Another blogger sees Netanyahu as a “genocidal monster” who is accusing Biden of withholding the mass weapons and quoting him in the video as “I say: Give us the tools and we will finish the job a lot faster.”
Netanyahu is definitely ungracious in his approach, he overlooks the fact that if it wasn’t for the United States the war on Gaza would have long finished. Despite this however, many argue the Israeli army is in a state of “lethargy” because of the high number of deaths among its ranks and the destruction of its military hardware with tank and convoy losses.
The blogger says Israel has used 70,000 tons of bombs to drop on Gaza in the past eight months. These are more than the combined total of bombs dropped on Dresden, Hamburg and London in World War II. And it is thanks to American air- and sea-supplies of planes bombs and missiles that maintained the slaughter on Gaza going.
Another blogger says Netanyahu is upset because Biden “temporarily” held up one shipment of these massive bombs. “He needs them because there are still some civilians left in Gaza that he hasn’t slaughtered yet.”
The video has appeared to upset many Americans as well. One former US Ambassador to Israel says two things must be done now: Congressional leaders must cancel their invitation to Netanyahu to speak in front of the US Congress; and this invitation must be conditional on an apology he must make to the Biden administration.
Yet another American doctor says “I really don’t know why Biden puts up with Netanyahu at all. He’s a thug who did his best to undermine Obama and is doing the same to Biden. A pity the Israeli lobby is so strong in the US.”
Another blast however comes from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who says “this man should not be addressing Congress. He is a war criminal. And he certainly has no regard for US law, which is explicitly designed to prevent US weapons from facilitating human rights abuses. He is invitation should be revoked. It should’ve never been sent in the first place.
