Netanyahu compares Gaza strikes to WWII Dresden bombing
On Wednesday, 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed attendees at a Newsmax event in Jerusalem. During, he suggested that while overthrowing Iran's government was never an official aim of the ongoing war, it could emerge as one of its consequences. Reflecting on the events of October 7, 2023, Netanyahu admitted there had been 'clear failures and intelligence mistakes,' marking a rare acknowledgment of shortcomings in 'Israel's' security apparatus. One of his remarks drew sharp international and humanitarian criticism when he likened 'Israel's' military actions in Gaza to the Allied bombing of Dresden, Germany, during World War II, a campaign notorious for its devastation of civilian areas. 'We can bomb Gaza just like the Allies bombed the city of Dresden in Germany during World War II,' he said. Critics argue the statement underscores the scale of destruction being inflicted on the besieged enclave. The attack on Dresden killed an estimated 25,000 civilians and left the city, then famed for its baroque architecture and cultural heritage, in ruins. Historians and ethicists have long debated its military necessity, given that Nazi Germany was already nearing defeat. Critics have labeled it an act of indiscriminate destruction aimed at civilian morale, while supporters at the time argued it was intended to cripple German transport and communication.

Palestinian Authority condemns Netanyahu's 'Greater Israel' vision
The Palestinian Presidency has condemned 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements regarding his so-called "Greater Israel" vision. In a statement, the presidency said the comments are "rejected, condemned, and constitute a dangerous provocation and escalation." It added that the remarks reflect the "colonial expansionist policy" governing 'Israel' and its refusal to respect the sovereignty of nations and international agreements. Yesterday, In an interview with 'Israeli' broadcaster i24NEWS, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated he is on a "historic and spiritual mission" for the Jewish people and feels a strong connection to the "vision of Greater Israel". The interview, conducted on Tuesday, occurred as his government was preparing to expand its military operations into the remaining parts of Gaza. During the exchange, interviewer Sharon Gal, a former right-wing member of Knesset, presented Netanyahu with an amulet showing "Greater Israel". When asked if he felt a connection to the vision, Netanyahu replied, "Very much," and described his mission as one of generations. The concept of "Greater Israel" (Eretz Yisrael HaShlema) refers to the historic or desired borders of 'Israel'. While biblical definitions vary, the term is now commonly used by 'Israelis' to refer to the territory of the 'Israel' along with the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This ideology has been a foundational tenet of Netanyahu's Likud party, which traces its roots to Revisionist Zionism and its founder, Ze'ev Jabotinsky. Netanyahu has consistently opposed the creation of a Palestinian state, a stance he has reiterated publicly. Critics argue that his government's settlement expansion policy is the physical embodiment of the "Greater Israel" vision, creating "facts on the ground" that make a viable Palestinian state impossible.
