Netanyahu threatens to bomb Gaza like Dresden was bombed in Germany
(today)
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel can bomb Gaza like the Allies bombed Dresden during World War II.
His remarks were made during an interview with right-wing US network Newsmax on Wednesday.
When asked why the Israeli military does not “wipe Hamas and the Gaza Strip” off the map, he replied, “We can bomb them like the Allies [in World War II] bombed Dresden, we could starve them if we followed the vilifications, these false lies that are delivered against Israel, and nobody would be alive already.
US President: Netanyahu used US bombing of Berlin as justification for Gaza genocide
(January 18, 2025)
Biden said that Netanyahu responded to his concerns by saying “You killed thousands of innocent civilians because you had to in order to win the war.”
This was not the first time the massacres against civilians in the Second World War were used to justify Israeli atrocities in Palestine.
Back in December 2023, pro-Israel American Senator Lindsey Graham also responded to criticisms of Israel‘s killing of Palestinian civilians by saying “Did the American people worry about how many people were dying to destroy Tokyo or Berlin?”
Israel‘s Smotrich launches settlement plan to ‚bury‘ idea of Palestinian state
Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced work would start on a long-delayed settlement that would divide the West Bank and cut it off from East Jerusalem, a move his office said would „bury“ the idea of a Palestinian state.
Israeli authorities issue 40 demolition orders near Jerusalem in a week
Israeli authorities issued demolition and evacuation orders on Wednesday for more than 13 residential, agricultural, and industrial facilities in the Wadi al-Houd area of al-Eizariya town, southeast of Jerusalem, Wafa news agency reported.
The Jerusalem Governorate said in a statement that the demolitions orders were part of a plan to create a road.
The orders come one day after approximately 14 similar orders were issued in the Wadi al-Jamal and Jabal al-Baba areas, and a few days after 13 orders were issued at the entrance to al-Eizariya. The road threatens to separate Wadi al-Jamal and Jabal al-Baba from the town and completely isolate the areas.
Israel threatens to ban major aid organizations as starvation deepens: Oxfam and over 100 other organizations call for an end to Israel’s weaponization of aid
Despite claims by Israeli authorities that there is no limit on humanitarian aid entering Gaza, most major international NGOs have been unable to deliver a single truck of lifesaving supplies since 2 March.
Instead of clearing the growing backlog of goods, Israeli authorities have rejected requests from dozens of NGOs to bring in lifesaving goods, citing that these organizations are “not authorized to deliver aid.” In July alone, over 60 requests were denied under this justification.

Arab League condemns Benjamin Netanyahu‘s ‚Greater Israel‘ remarks
The League considered these statements to be a violation of the sovereignty of Arab states and an attempt to undermine security and stability in the region.
In a statement released Tuesday, the League said these remarks represent a serious threat to collective Arab national security and a flagrant challenge to international law and the principles of international legitimacy. The statements also reflect expansionist and aggressive intentions that cannot be accepted or tolerated, and they reveal an extremist mindset steeped in colonial delusions.
