Morning Joe Finally Beginning To Wake Up and Smell the Coffee and dead bodies

Hell must have frozen over because Joe Scarborough and his Morning Joe crew are beginning to see the light about Israel; BUT their lifelong support for Israel blinds them from seeing the larger truth and big picture.

Joe Scarborough, Mika and guests woke up enough to realize that the IDF bombing Palestinians is a horrendous matter but also long term bad news for Israel.

Joe and his crew acknowledged that Israel intentionally killed these journalists and that it was no accident, as Netanyahu claims.

Remember the first time Israel bombed a hospital? Israel denied doing it and blamed Hamas.

Now two years later, Israel has bombed virtually every hospital and clinic in Gaza and Nassar Hospital was the only remaining hospital in southern Gaza.

The fact is Israel systematically destroyed virtually all of Gaza's hospitals, schools, mosques and 90% of housing.

What would Morning Joe say if Iran bombed virtually all of Israel's hospitals, schools, synagogues and 90% of all housing in Israel?

Would Morning Joe be calling for military intervention?

Of course they would.

So why isn't Morning Joe calling for military interventionism in Palestine?

Because Morning Joe does not recognize Palestinian's right to exist, Palestinians right to use force to evict the illegal Occupying Power Israel.

Morning Joe still subscribes to Israel's greatest claims and lies:

*They hate us and attack us because we're Jews, and they will never stop attacking us until they destroy Israel.

*The Palestinian people cannot elect their own government and have autonomy and freedom from Israel.

*We will never comply with U.N. Res. 242 under any circumstances. (withdraw to Israel's 1967 borders and recognize Palestinian's Right of Return to their homeland)

*Gaza and the West Bank belong to Israel and Palestinians are just troublemaking squatters living on Jewish land.

Remember, the Geneva Conventions designate a military blockade an "Act of War" and as such, Israel has been maintaining a military blockade of Gaza by land, sea and air for decades and have no intention of ever ending Israel's military blockade of Gaza.

Netanyahu and a majority of Israelis OPPOSE Palestinian statehood, OPPOSE ending the occupation, OPPOSE sending food and aid into Gaza, but SUPPORT illegal annexation.

Morning Joe is trying to pin Israeli war crimes on Netanyahu, which is good, but Morning Joe still don't realize that "IT'S NOT JUST NETANYAHU."

Israeli author Gideon Levy has been warning Americans and the world that "IT'S NOT JUST NETANYAHU" and in 2018 Levy wrote a Haaretz article titled, "It's Not Netanyahu. It's the Nation"

Gideon Levy's commentary on the theme "it's not just Netanyahu" argues that focusing solely on Benjamin Netanyahu as the cause of Israel's issues overlooks a broader societal problem.

This idea has been a recurring theme in his columns for Haaretz for several years, though recent events, particularly the Gaza War, have amplified his critique.

Key aspects of Levy's "it's not just Netanyahu" argument include:

  • Wider societal complicity: Levy contends that the policies and actions attributed to Netanyahu are actually supported and enabled by a significant portion of the Israeli public.

  • In a July 2024 interview with Jacobin, Levy stated that even if Netanyahu were replaced, the fundamental issues—such as the war, the occupation, and apartheid—would remain because the electorate has not pushed for meaningful change on these core issues.

  • An ideological, not personal, problem: For Levy, the problem is not Netanyahu's personality or alleged corruption, but the deep-seated ideological direction he represents.

  • A 2024 column, "It's Ideology That Drives Netanyahu, Not Just Power," argues that his long-term goal of perpetuating apartheid is the greatest danger to the country.

  • Ineffectual opposition: Levy has criticized the "Anyone but Bibi" opposition for focusing on getting rid of Netanyahu rather than challenging the broader policies and violence against Palestinians. He sees them as largely complicit in the status quo, failing to provide a real alternative on the issues that matter most.

  • The occupation is the root cause: Levy has repeatedly traced Israel's problems back to the occupation of Palestinian territories.

  • In a March 2025 column, he wrote, "Israel's Democratic Collapse Did Not All Begin With Netanyahu."

  • For him, the occupation is the "original sin" and the "father of all abominations" that has created a different, more damaging country.

  • Collective responsibility for violence: He argues against singling out Netanyahu for crimes committed in Gaza, noting that others—from pilots and military officials to cabinet members—are also responsible.

  • Levy argues that Israel's legal experts and officials collectively approve decisions related to war and settlements.
