“Biden realized that Netanyahu was lying to him about the hostages,” the official told Haaretz. “He’s not saying it publicly yet, but in the meeting between them, he specifically told him, ‘Stop bullshitting me.’”

On Friday, a senior member of the Israeli negotiating team told Haaretz that Israeli defense chiefs believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not interested in a hostage deal/cease-fire with Hamas. Israel’s Channel 12 also reported on a tense exchange between Netanyahu and the defense chiefs, in which Shin Bet head Ronen Bar said, “It feels like the prime minister doesn’t want the framework that’s on the table.” Turning to Netanyahu, he added that if that is the case, “you should tell us.”

Mossad chief David Barnea stressed to Netanyahu, “There is a deal on the table. If we delay, we could miss the opportunity. We have to take it.” Netanyahu, per the report, reacted angrily, accusing the defense chiefs of being “soft.”

    They had 75 years to make peace. As the party with constant military supremacy and backing of the hegemonic power, the onus was on them to make it work. But we’ve known for decades that Israel’s leaders sabotaged the so called “peace process” and only wished to foster more hostility so they of leverage their military superiority.

    Good thing both sides have been breeding child soldiers like crazy so they both can have the blood orgy they crave so much.

    We just want to forget this cursed land of hate exists, is that so much to ask?

      A. Who talked about peace? Who talked about who’s at fault? Read again what I wrote. All I said is that the situation is vastly different. This conflict requires peace to be made, the Holocaust wasn’t a conflict, but a straight up slaughter.

      B. Israeli child soldiers are news to me… There are plenty of photos of Hamas marching with children with weapons, but none that I know of from the Israeli side

      And yeah, I 100% agree that land just shouldn’t exist and that’s it.

        Who talked about peace ? Everyone who has been trying to make us swallow this shit for the entire duration of since the UN’s original sin.

        Child soldiers ? I mean the Haredim breeders. Like most war religions, there is heavy emphasis on breeding child soldiers to outswarm the heathen invaders out of the righteous land they occupy.

        I was more riffing after your comment than responding to it.

        The whole affair disgusts me to the highest degree.

        I think multicellular life was a mistake, a hellish evolutionary dead end.

          Saying Haredim and Soldiers in the same sentence is pretty stupid, considering all they do is study the Torah all day every day. I guess you meant the religious zionists movement, which are settlers and violent and should really be boycotted by every human alive.
