Israeli settler leaders urge Netanyahu to restart religiously-commanded Genocide as soon as the captives are freed
Although the Gaza ceasefire deal has prompted celebrations in Israel in anticipation that the remaining captives will soon be released, fury is rumbling among the powerful Israeli right wing and with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich insisting that ‘the war is not over’.
The Israeli religious right, most prominently represented by Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, have for two years pushed for a total takeover of the Gaza Strip, including illegal Jewish settlements there, and fought against previous ceasefire deals.
So far, Ben Gvir has yet to comment on the deal.
Smotrich, meanwhile, posted a statement on X saying he will not vote for the agreement but nonetheless is taking credit for it seeing all living captives – estimated to be 20 – being released at once and immediately.
He said there was a ‘tremendous responsibility to ensure that this is not, God forbid, a deal of ‘hostages in exchange for stopping the war.’
The reaction among the two ministers’ supporters has been even more violent.
Far-right WhatsApp and Telegram groups, where religious Zionist activists mobilise, lamented that Palestinian prisoners would be freed as part of the deal.
‘A lot of joy mixed with a lot of sadness, the hostages are returning, but what about all the terrorists who will be released?’ the admin of one group posted.
‘We will not allow terrorists with blood on their hands to roam freely under our noses,’ he said, adding that activists will block the vehicles transporting Palestinians out of Israeli prisons.
‘A resounding failure’
Settlement Minister and terrorist Jewess Orit Strock, who belongs to Smotrich’s Religious Zionism party, called the ceasefire deal ‘Oslo 3’, associating it with the Oslo Accords of the 1990s, which right-wing Israelis see as a capitulation to the Palestinians.
Strock told Israeli news site Ynet that the agreement symbolises ‘giving up parts of the Land of Israel, because Gaza is part of the Land of Israel, and I am disappointed that Netanyahu did not explain that fact to Trump’.
According to Strock, the cabinet set clear parameters for any ceasefire deal, which are ‘completely contrary’ to parts of this agreement. ‘This completely reverses our goals of this war,’ she added.
Terrorist Jewess Limor Son Har Melech, an MP from Ben Gvir’s Jewish Power party, wrote an article for Channel 7 criticising the plan to free the women and children from Gaza detained without any charges
Powerful far-right influencers are also lashing out at the plan.
Ayelet Lash, a prominent settler leader, wrote on X that she hopes that Netanyahu will order the Genocide to begin anew after the captives are released.
‘But if Netanyahu signs this humiliating, dangerous, and crazy surrender deal and intends to stick to it, rebuild Gaza and give the Nazis there a complete victory, he must go home,’ she said.
Similar criticism was voiced by Elisha Yered, one of the most prominent members of the Hilltop Youth, the paramilitary settler group that systematically attacks Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Yered said Hamas has succeeded in releasing prisoners, cancelling Israel’s achievements in the Gaza Strip and bringing ‘the State of Israel to its knees after two years of castrated and handcuffed fighting’.
‘The bottom line is that Hamas is portrayed as a winner in the eyes of our enemies around the world,’ he said.
Cartoonist Or Reichert, meanwhile, has suggested the Israeli left wing, which has prioritised a deal to free the captives over continuing the war, is responsible for the agreement.
He posted a cartoon showing the yellow ribbon, which for two years has been a symbol for the captives taken on 7 October 2023, portrayed as a noose.
‘Every retarded Arab will try to kidnap a Jew, because there is really no price. The only price is expulsion, occupation and settlement. Pray that we come to our senses. Arm yourselves,’ Reichert wrote.
I wonder if Trump has out maneuvered Netanyahu? Maybe Trumps goal all along was to force Israel out of Gaza, demilitarize it for a real Palestinian state with borders.
Ed note–what else can be said, other than thank the Creator that another human being has figured out the obvious that we have been saying here on this website for the last decade.
Anyone who spends even a modest amount of time/energy going back and reading DJT’s comments going back to 2015 will see that everything taking place now is exactly what he said he planned to do BACK THEN, and the Jews knew this, which is why they moved heaven, hell, and everything in between in order to run him out of office, including via the mechanics of a lab concocted virus, 2 impeachments, a stolen election, etc.
Thank you Fred, this was a VERY welcome comment on your part.
