Netanyahu Tries to Sell Bill of Goods that Israel Won Goals In The War

Has Netanyahu ever heard of Lincoln’s phrase, “You cannot fool all of the people all of the time?”

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu gave a miserable sales pitch to the Israeli people Wednesday night in a weak effort to turn around public opinion that is unhappy, if not disgusted, with his agreeing to the cease-fire announced by Hamas and its new war partner, Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas.

The Prime Minister, followed by Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantzת repeated over and over Israel’s achievements in the war

Netanyahu claimed that Israel achieved the goals it set from the beginning, mainly to restore quiet to Israel and to destroy terror tunnels.

He also rewrote his promise earlier this month that there will no cease-fire without disarming Hamas. Magically, that now has become a “long-term” goal.

They're securely caged, can't fight back, can't get away. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Don't tell me you're losing your taste for blood now? You think you can just skate without all that lovely, lovely aid money coming from the United States and its citizens? The cash spigot might switch off if you're not regularly making more corpses. You're not indispensable, you know. The death merchants can install someone who's not so squeamish about achieving a final resolution.
