Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu railed Sunday against growing criticism from top ally the United States against his leadership amid the devastating war with Hamas, describing calls for a new election as “wholly inappropriate.”
In recent days, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish official in the country and a strong Israel supporter, called on Israel to hold a new election, saying Netanyahu had “lost his way.” President Joe Biden expressed support for Schumer’s “good speech,” and earlier accused Netanyahu of hurting Israel because of the huge civilian death toll in Gaza.
Netanyahu told Fox News that Israel never would have called for a new U.S. election after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, and denounced Schumer’s comments as inappropriate.
“We’re not a banana republic,” he said. “The people of Israel will choose when they will have elections, and who they’ll elect, and it’s not something that will be foisted on us.”
You know what’s wholly inappropriate? Genocide.

ok they’re trying to kill every arab in their country and steal their homes.
I suppose it’s more of an ethnic cleansing? is that better?
“I mean they are only letting the Irish starve while selling potatoes to the rest of the world. Nobody is trying to wipe out all Westerners here.”
Palestine is a distinct people and culture, attempting to destroy a national group is genocide.
