NYT: Netanyahu Has ‘Gone Rogue’ by Defending Israel Against Terror

Joel B. Pollak2 Aug 2024

The New York Times published an analysis Friday in which it claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had “gone rogue” by killing terrorists who had killed Israeli citizens, rather than acquiescing.

The story, by Steven Erlanger, is just one of many stories that appeared Friday in the center-left media — both in Israel and the United States — accusing Netanyahu of chasing victory at the price of a ceasefire-hostage deal.

Erlanger, citing “analysts,” wrote:

    The assassinations of senior Hezbollah and Hamas figures abroad have now sharply raised the risks of a larger regional war as Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah prepare retaliation, analysts say.

    …

    Absent a clear goal in the war, however, Mr. Netanyahu’s defiance is dividing Israel from its allies and the country itself. It has further shaken trust in his leadership. It is fueling suspicions that he is keeping the country at war to keep himself in power. It is intensifying a deep rift inside the society — about the fate of Israeli hostages, the conduct of the war and the rule of law — that is challenging the institutional bonds that hold Israel together.

To Israelis, striking back at Hezbollah was an absolute necessity after a rocket fired by the Iran-backed terror group killed 12 innocent children in the Druze Arab village of Majdal Shams last Saturday.

Counterpoint:  Iran is rogue for funding organized violence and anti-Semetic genocide in the Middle East by itself and its proxies - Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad of Iraq.

If not for Iran, there may actually be peace in the Middle East.

It is interesting that when Israel refuses to bow to the whims of the United States and to the whims of the milquetoast soy-boy Blinken, it is called 'Going Rogue'.

But when the Hamas barbarian rapist murderers and the Iranian puppets in Lebanon attack Israel, it is considered 'justified and deserved' in Bush Senior's Global New World Order.

Looks like Israel is getting "too uppity" for the White Global ruling class. "They are not doing as they are told!!" yells Blinken and the U.N.

Israel has pulled its punches and stopped short of decisive follow-through at US demands for 4 decades or more and has been "rewarded" with tens of thousands of rockets, thousands of Israelis killed and brutalized. What Biden's minions and Foggy Bottom demand has failed, bloodily, for those same 4 decades.

All Biden, et al, have accomplished with their tantrumming is demonstrate to Israel that Dem POTUSs will stab them in the back.
