Washington — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly approved military operations on two vessels early last month that were part of a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying aid and pro-Palestinian supporters, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Two American intelligence officials briefed on the matter told CBS News that Israeli forces on Sept. 8 and 9 launched drones from a submarine and dropped incendiary devices onto the boats that were moored outside the Tunisian port of Sidi Bou Said, causing a fire. The officials spoke under the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on national security matters.

      He’s a monster. I don’t know how he sleeps at night knowing he’s responsible for the murdering of this many children. You’d have to be a complete psychopath. I wouldn’t sleep at night knowing I had killed even one child. Or person for that matter.

        Sociopath. Psycho too maybe. A bit of megalomania if not narcicism thrown in there on top of an arrogance born of a lifetime of impunity.

      That wouldn’t even help at this point. One of the openly fascist ministers would be in power by the end of the year.
