Israel’s escalation and invasion of Lebanon is most likely to make the Democrats more unpopular. It’s not a coincidence that these escalations happened so close to the election. Israel has been wanting to attack Lebanon since at least the spring, and the US had to talk them down. These events just make the Democrats more unpopular and make a Trump presidency more likely. Which would be Israel’s wet dream given how pro-zionist he is.
it seems to me that they and iran just wait for Israel to do something they don’t like and fire missles at them
They don’t wait to do anything. They hate Israel for what Israel has done to their Palestinian neighbors as well as to Lebanon and Iran. Hezbollah didn’t just suddenly spring up out of nowhere. The group was literally founded to halt Israeli aggression. This is the only reason Israel hasn’t occupied Lebanon and oppressed them the way they oppress the Palestinians.
I find none of this funny.
Then why are you spreading known lies and using it to justify war crimes and human rights violations?
It’s funny how many times Israel made that excuse only to turn out that there were no Hamas members in the vicinity when they made those attacks. Even so, that’s no justification for the indiscriminate killing of civilians that Israel does on a daily basis.
Please check back with us as we await the next shift in public opinion to accommodate your rights and use it for political and diplomatic points. Your opinion is important to us.
They make a significant number of voters in critical swing states like Michigan. Biden won certain counties in the 2020 election by a handful of votes. This can make a significant amount of difference in the coming election.
Criticizing and condemning Israel is like criticizing and condemning Trump. They just have so little shame and display their crimes so blatantly that it’s just so stupidly simple to call it out.
America has lot’s Lebanese people. They’re just there to visit their families. Lebanon wasn’t an active war zone until Israel decided it was. Thanks to being enabled by America.
It’s not radical to stand up for oppression and genocide. It’s not pointless to hate a group of people who stolen everything from you. The fact that you would label it as such just goes to show how little you actually value human lives and their rights.
Phone calls between the two men were increasingly turned into shouting matches, according to one of the officials and one other senior official not authorized to discuss private conversations. Biden told confidants that he did not believe his Israeli counterpart wanted a cease-fire deal, arguing that Netanyahu was trying to perpetuate the conflict to save his political future and assist Trump in November’s election, the officials said."
Assuming that this is true and the fact that Biden did absolutely nothing to stop this just goes to show you how weak of a man he is. He’s president of the richest country and commander in chief to the most powerful military in human history. If all it takes is political influence from one little colony halfway around the world to lose control of a situation when you can literally play the deck in your favor then you’re not a strong leader. You’re just spineless.
This is a good example of what happens when technology moves faster than our governments can legislate. We don’t live in a world where companies genuinely care about what affect their products will have on people. We rely on the government to care for us. Problem is, even when the government actually does the needed actions, it’s usually too late.
A lemur?
To many Israelis, there is now little to lose: Iran’s efforts to strike the urban sprawl around Tel Aviv crossed a threshold that Tehran has never previously breached, even during its earlier missile attack in April, which targeted air bases but not civilian areas.
Glad to see Israel finally admit that attacking civilian centers is bad.
Tolerating the opinions to indiscriminately bomb countries and people is not something we as a society should do.
America and Biden are losing all credibility on the world stage. You can’t claim to be the “world police” and advocate for an ethical solution while doing what they did. For all of Bidens’ accomplishments, such as the infrastructure bill and the chips act, this disaster will be his legacy. The career politician who ran on being the best choice for both domestic and foreign relations who couldn’t rein in his attack dog despite having all the power to do so.
Take your pick lol. Israel did settle on their land in the first place. They’ll probably be a good chunk of Palestinians on both sides of that question. Some who just want to finally enjoy peace and freedom. And some who want to make sure that what they’ve gone through for the past 70+ years never happens again. No one that is not Palestinian can fault either of those 2 opinions.
They would definitely have some kind of mandatory military service instituted. I don’t think they would ever trust their Zionist neighbors.
Culturally and economically speaking, it would be very similar to Lebanon or Syria in my opinion.
I would say the polonium needle example you provided would be an example of a much more precise and targeted attack, yes. I still fail to see how you could define the blowing up a bunch of pagers as targeted. Even if the pagers were meant exclusively for Hezbollah. The only way I could kind of see your argument is if all targets were confirmed to be in military bases or something like that. The fact that these were blown up in civilian areas like homes, schools, stores, etc and that civilians actually died because of it, discredits the “targeted” claim in my opinion.
Zionists and AIPAC have enough money to make sure Trump is the most pro-zionist president ever.
