Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Thursday re-posted a video on his social media accounts as a response to US President Joe Biden’s comments to CNN on Wednesday evening that he will halt arms shipments to Israel if it launches a full-scale invasion of Rafah.
The video he posted was of the speech he made earlier this week on Yom HaShoah, during which he said: “Eighty years ago during the Holocaust, the Jewish people were totally defenseless against those who sought our destruction. No nation came to our aid. Today we again confront enemies bent on our destruction.”
“I say to the leaders of the world – no amount of pressure, no decision by any international form will stop Israel from defending itself.
“As the prime minister of Israel, the one and only Jewish state, I pledge here today from Jerusalem on this Holocaust Remembrance Day: If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone. But we know we’re not alone because countless decent people around the world support our just cause. And I say to you: We will defeat our genocidal enemies. Never again is now.”

That’s kofrus Mr Netanyahu!
Israel never stands alone! We have Hakkadosh Boruch Hu siding with us!
We don’t stand alone if we stand with Hashem
He meant alone without assistance from other countries. Of course he leaves out Hashem because he doesn’t believe much and kochi veotzem yodi is what he believes in…
Great observation.
Together we stand alone.
Okay this is a definite maybe.
think about what standing alone would actually mean. with less than 1/10 of the resources to fight the war. maybe drop a tactical nuke on gaza. maybe fighting without any regard for arab ‘civilians’. we only have had enough money and ammo for one month of fighting. we wouldnt be able to afford to give back any territory gained for them to be able attack from again. settlers would volunteer to settle.
We do stand alone, exactly as Mr Netanyahu said. עם לבדד ישכון…..
NO – you cannot stand if you are alone – you can stand without nations IF you are WITH HASHEM – THEN HASHEM WILL BE WITH YOU – but alone you cannot stand.
Being with HASHEM, means; SUPPORTING UNINTERRUPTED TORAH LEARNING OF TENS OF THOUSANDS BOCHRIM AND AVREICHIM!!
For the Medinah to “stand alone” would be very expensive. Would the ruling class (generally secular Jews, well educated in professions with options to find work abroad) be willing to give up their “first world” standard of living to pay for the costs of “standing alone.”
@akuperma – do you realize that a disproportionate number of those who were called up for Miluim to fight in this war are high-tech workers from what you call Israel’s “ruling class”? People here know what they’re fighting for, and are willing to make sacrifices if necessary…

Sidestepping the venomous kefirah in hisd words, this stupid ugly rat infested brain of a wretched excuse for a human says the now boring old mantra nonsense lie the idiotic kochi v’etzem yadi nazionists have been shouting from the rooftops since 1948: “Never again”.
Since WWII, there hasn’t been bloodshed (both factually and proportionally and), at both single and overtime lapses as in the state of israel.
“Never again” was supposed to start in 1948, but when both this kofer b.n. and other poloticians (there was even a study about this in bar ilan university), the answer was – ? – Tue, the ignorant naive excuse of “never again” is both a lie and impossible, but suffering brutal murders and terror attacks together in one land “feels safer”.
But unlike those who follow these kofrim, Gedolim from past and present, Gaonim, Rishonim and Achronim, already said that the pasuk that Hashem said to Avraham Avinu that “your offspring will be as the stars in the sky and the sand of the sea’s”, is a blessing, as so long as Jews are spread out over many different countries, if ch”v there is some pogrom/attack etc in one, the others don’t get wiped out, just as we saw when there was a pogrom in Morroco, European Jewry carried on. When there was tach vetat in Europe, the Arabian/Medidtranian/Sefaradi communities carried on, when WWII came about, Arabian and sefaradi jewry on the most part carried on, ch”v that all Jews should go to one country and all it takes is one nuke etc and…Chas Vechalila.
