Ceasefire — ‘surrender to terrorists, surrender to barbarism’ — ‘will not happen,’ Netanyahu says

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in no uncertain terms Monday said Israel will not oblige calls for a cease-fire as it takes on Hamas.

"I want to make clear Israel's position regarding the cease-fire," he said, going on to draw parallels to the United States' response to the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the 9/11 World Trade Center terrorist attack.

The PM said that just like the US after those assaults, "Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas after the horrific attacks of October 7.

“Calls for a cease-fire or calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorists, surrender to barbarism, that will not happen,” Netanyahu said during a briefing for foreign media at the defense ministry in Tel Aviv on Monday evening local time.

Netanyahu vowed that while "Israel did not want this war," the Jewish nation will prevail.

Actually you are the one who has been practicing barbarism for years and years, even that October 7th was a response to your long barbarism from before.

The Bible also says to love your enemies and do unto others as you want done to yourself. But I guess you haven't read that part. :(

[SH-jgzq]

What does he know about Bible? Stop persecuting Christians in Israel!

[blackxicano]

Why is this criminal in power yet again?

He cannot quench the thirst of power with the blood of a thousand children. So, he shall drink a thousand more.

This is why we don’t mix the church with state, he sounds insane

[jasziegl]

Apparently ethnic cleansing is fine as long as you wear a small hat. "Never again" only applies to one tribe.

[LorrainePerez-vfts]

The Lords of hosts will deliver Israel 🇮🇱

Nor should they.

We as Americans would not cease fire if this had happened and nor would we want to cease fire.
