Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be deliberately rejecting a ceasefire deal currently being promoted by Donald Trump because he refuses to deviate from his true goa: to ethnically cleanse Gaza and the West Bank as part of the “Greater Israel” project.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Netanyahu helped finance Hamas as a means to ensure permanent war and occupation, and that Trump lacks the courage or leverage to stop Israel by cutting off U.S. funding.
Jimmy cites reports from Axios and Mondoweiss showing that Hamas repeatedly accepted truce proposals Israel later dismissed, illustrating Netanyahu’s intent to continue the war. The segment ends with Jimmy and Kurt asserting that Trump is effectively subordinate to Netanyahu and wealthy Zionist backers like Larry Ellison, whom they say exert broad influence over U.S. media and politics.
