It is utterly ridiculous to pretend Netanyahu is remotely interested in a Gaza ceasefire or in respecting basic human rights.
Editorial by Rory Finnegan and Micheal John
Israel and America have normalized violence toward women and children.
The ruling party of Israel, Likud, has a long history of terrorist activities covered up by extensive propaganda campaigns.

Benjamin Netanyahu is not a legitimate political figure in the wake of the assassination of Ismael Haniyeh and the murder of Al-Jazeera journalists.
It is utterly ridiculous to pretend Netanyahu is remotely interested in a ceasefire or respecting basic human rights.
Netanyahu is a tyrant on a genocidal crusade based in his religious fanaticism, ego, and political aspirations.
While we correctly identify Islamic extremist organizations as terrorists, we do not apply the same rules to Israel’s terrorist activities. This double standard is quickly becoming an existential threat as Netanyahu’s ongoing genocide has not only been ignored by the West but actively yet blindly supported by many Western governments.
Israeli propaganda either covers up crimes or justifies everything. Even rape has been justified by Israeli politicians in the Knesset and in their media. When some IDF soldiers were finally held accountable for raping Palestinian hostages, far-right protesters came out to support the rapists imprisoned at various military bases.
The mainstream media still managed to “passive voice” these incidents and referred to it as “unrest at army bases” in a New York Times article.
We must realize Israel has been held by a terrorist organization that spreads extremist propaganda to justify any crime against Palestinians. Likud was founded by Menachem Begin an extremist Zionist who was once the leader of the terrorist organization Irgun.
Killing women and children as surgeons work in the dark in the few remaining operational but bombed hospitals in Gaza—surgeons work by the light of their smartphones—American transport aircraft and military ships slip through the darkness with thousands of tons of mass-murdering bombs to keep the Gaza Genocide killing going.

Israel and America have normalized violence toward women and children.
The complaints say that concurrently the USA has operated manned surveillance AWACS planes and many drones to help with the Gaza bombing effort and the tracking and killing of doctors, journalists and medical workers.
The United Nations, along with the British and United States governments, all identified Irgun as a terrorist organization.
Albert Einstein described Irgun and Herut (a precursor political party to Likud) as “NAZI and Fascist parties” and “terrorist, right wing, chauvinist organizations”. (Wikipedia)
Netanyahu became a member of Likud during Yitzhak Shamir’s leadership, who was a former leader of the Zionist militant group Lehi, also known as the Stern Gang. In 1943, the group published an article titled “Terror,” asserting that the morality of the Torah is superior to any other legal system in the world.
Shamir sought an alliance with NAZI Germany and Fascist Italy during WWII and formed this even more militant group as a break away from Menachem Begin’s terrorists.
Later they would both work to secure Likud’s political domination over Israel. Lehi and Irgun became particularly infamous in 1948 for the Deir Yassin massacre in which at least 107 Palestinian villagers were killed.
Shamir would go on to direct “Operation Damocles” which was the assassination of German rocket scientists working on an Egyptian missile program.
This terrorist modus operandi has continued into the present day under Likud. It is clear they adhere to the same violent ideology.
Shamir is said by Haaretz journalists to have hired Otto Skorzeny, former NAZI commando, to assassinate the chief of a company supplying military hardware to Egypt.
It is not antisemitic to call this organization a Fascist and terrorist threat, it is necessary. By all reasonable metrics they should be condemned as religious zealots and treated no different than we would any other religious extremist terrorist organization.
Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir’s terrorist pasts did not prevent them from becoming Prime Ministers nor has it prevented Netanyahu from continuing Likud’s rule and IDF atrocities.
In 1992 Labour Party leader Yitzhak Rabin defeated Shamir and Likud to become Prime Minister.
Netanyahu and current Minister for National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir immediately stocked extremist rhetoric that led to the assassination of Rabin in 1995.
Video: Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir distributed assault rifles to ‘civilian security teams’. Ben-Gvir has also said that he has directed the Ministry of National Security to purchase more than 10,000 firearms. Israeli forces have approved and started the distribution of firearms and weapons for around 26,000 Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and in Israel.
They branded Rabin a “traitor,” “murderer,” and “Nazi” for signing a peace agreement with the Palestinians earlier in 1995. Later they claim they had nothing to do with stocking the extremist Zionist rhetoric that led to someone gunning down the Prime Minister for supporting the Oslo Accords.
After Rabin’s assassination, conveniently, Netanyahu regained power for Likud and has ruled as a terrorist and a tyrant ever since.
Just as we recognized the precursors to Netanyahu’s fascist government as terrorists, we must now recognize Likud as a terrorist organization.
Any foreign government, corporation or other agency that supported Israeli terrorism and genocide needs to be prosecuted as well to the full extent of international law if Israel’s justice system cannot or does not.
As Canadians we should be calling for Justin Trudeau to be charged as a war criminal for his financing and vocal support of this terrorist organization. He has been named as a person complicit in the Gaza Genocide.
Until these basic international laws are respected, Palestine, and its IQB combatants are under no obligation to sign a peace treaty with a terrorist entity that wants Palestinian extermination.
The ICC must take immediate measures to arrest Netanyahu and secure Palestine’s borders so the peace process can begin. So long as Israeli terrorists are allowed to assassinate political figures involved in the ceasefire talks such as Haniyeh, this war and genocide will continue indefinitely.
Now is the time to be clear about what Netanyahu and his government are and what needs to be done to stop him.
Israel is ruled by a terrorist organization, whose members believe they are above any law and will justify anything including rape in their Gaza Genocide crusade and eventually erasing Palestine entirely.
Those who supported this terrorist regime, such as Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden, need to face full investigations and tribunals into their role in the genocide and have charges brought against them.
The era of Western double standards is over. This is the best thing to secure the immediate release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas as well as moving the region towards a lasting peace.
Netanyahu has expressed a preference for an expanded conflict with Iran and seems willing to involve the West in such a confrontation. Should it be necessary to take him to The Hague by force, then so be it. It is imperative that his period of terror be brought to a close.
