Israel’s deep political divisions are once again on display, as reported by Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s international editor, in Jerusalem. Photo courtesy of Getty Images.
They are now more determined than ever to remove Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel with the longest tenure.
The demonstrators’ and their families’ greatest concern is that the longer the war continues indefinitely in the absence of a settlement, the more people they will lose.
I am now telling Netanyahu that I would be happy to buy him a first-class one-way ticket so he could leave and never return.
It has slipped the protesters’ minds, according to Rabbi Glick, that prime minister Netanyahu is not their true enemy but rather Hamas.
Ohad Tal, one of its MPs, stated that it was “naïve” to think that the hostages would be released by anything other than increased military pressure on Hamas.
Benjamin Netanyahu once asserted that he was the only person capable of ensuring the security of his nation.

Mr. Netanyahu has never taken responsibility for his actions, in contrast to his security chiefs who quickly released statements acknowledging their errors.
For Israelis to recall a period in their nation’s political history when Benjamin Netanyahu was not a major player, they must be at least forty years old.

I know Netanyahu because I was his first chief of staff in 1996, and I left after three months.
“All he knows is how to talk; he has no idea how to make decisions and is afraid.
Netanyahu was referred to as a “danger to Israel” by his former aide, Oren Rosenfeld David Agmon, while the demonstrators were still in the streets. Mr. Netanyahu also reiterated his intention to launch a fresh offensive against the Hamas forces in Rafah and called out early elections.
However, Benjamin Netanyahu’s career is in jeopardy because of the way the war is being managed and the inability to free or save all of the hostages.
NEUTRAL

The White House has responded, defending President Biden’s remarks, in the face of strong criticism over declaring March 31 to be “Transgender Day of Visibility,” which falls on Easter Sunday this year.

The nation is being further divided, according to a statement issued by White House spokesman Andrew Bates, by those who disagree with Biden’s message of inclusivity.

Bates released a statement saying, “As a Christian who spends Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American.”. Politicians using harsh, hateful, and deceitful language to try to weaken and divide our nation is regrettably not surprising. President Biden will never misuse his religious beliefs for financial gain or political gain. “.

The international transgender movement has been honored on March 31st since 2009; however, this year’s commemoration coincides with Easter Sunday, one of the most significant days for Christians to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The White House released a statement on Saturday that said, “On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.”.

We want all transgender Americans to know that you are loved, and we send that message today. We’ve heard you. You’re understood. You are meant to be here. It continued, “You are America, and I, along with my entire Administration, have your back. It follows that I, Joseph R. Biden Jr. as President of the United States of America, I hereby declare March 31, 2024, to be Transgender Day of Visibility in accordance with the authority granted to me by the US Constitution and laws. “.

Following the announcement, a torrent of hate speech was directed towards Biden and his administration by well-known Christians, politicians, and social media commentators.

The former president demanded an instant apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians, and his national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, characterized Biden’s statement as part of the administration’s “years-long assault on the Christian faith.”. “.

Louisiana Representative Mike Johnson is the Speaker of the House. claimed that the Biden administration was violating the meaning of Easter Sunday when it outlawed religiously themed egg designs at its Easter Art Event. This event is a part of the White House’s Easter customs, much like the annual Easter Egg Roll.

Johnson said on X, “The Biden White House has betrayed the central tenet of Easter — which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”. Proclaiming Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day” while outlawing traditional wisdom and sacred truths is ludicrous and disgusting. The people of America are observing. “.

Son of the late Billy Graham, Franklin Graham is a well-known Christian evangelist who claimed that Biden and his administration showed “little respect” for God.

Graham wrote, among other things, that “this once again shows how little respect President Biden and his administration have for God.”. “The Biden administration uses this opportunity to flaunt, glorify, and celebrate sin on the most important day of the Christian calendar, when the Church worldwide celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ who died and shed His blood for the sins of mankind. “.

Mississippi Gov. Biden’s statement, according to Tate Reeves, was a “shocking” and “intentional attempt” to disparage Christians in America.

Reeves wrote, “President Biden declared that Transgender Day is now Easter Sunday.”. “The purpose of this is to disparage and belittle Christians in America. Startling, yet unsurprising. We will gladly commemorate in Mississippi the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the pardoning of sinners. “.

South Dakota Governor. Tate’s views were echoed by Kristi Noem, who stated that believers “have no place in America” due to the Biden White House’s actions. “.

“People of faith, especially Christians and our Bible-believing views, have no place in Joe Biden’s America, as his White House has made abundantly evident.”. By electing @realdonaldtrump on November 5, we must change that. “.

“Joe Biden just proclaimed that ‘Transgender Visibility Day’ is on Sunday, March 31st,” wrote former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in a post on X. How did he arrive at that date, I wonder? “.

The former Olympic gold medallist decathlete Caitlyn Jenner stated on X that “the only thing you should be declaring on this day is ‘HE is Risen.'”. “.

Jenner wrote, “I am utterly appalled that Joe Biden has designated the most sacred of days—a self-professed devoted Catholic—as Transgender Day of Visibility. “On this day, you should only proclaim that ‘HE is Risen.'”. “.

As a “celebration” of the “courage and resilience” of trans people, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the top diplomat for the United States, issued a statement on Sunday endorsing the “Transgender Day of Visibility.” However, he pointed out that there is “clearly still much work to be done.”. “.
