It's still about survival for the Jews. They are an existential crisis fighting a war against barbaric terrorists who want them all dead. Too many posters in this forum dismiss or forget that fact. What's amazing is how some Israeli's seem to forget that as well. Although I'm I don't believe the propaganda from the antisemitic press on anything, particularly when it comes to numbers of self-hating Jews.
Over 550 Lebanese have been killed in the last 48 hours by indiscriminate Israeli air attacks.
What about their survival ?
Why are the lives of Israeli children more precious than Lebanese ?
Maybe the Lebanese should stop putting Hezbollah missiles in civilian houses. Could help. Sort of like Ukraine, Putin stops invading, no more attacks on Russia. Lebanon stops allowing missiles to be fired, no more missiles coming in Lebanon.
Or, they can leave. That's right Hezbollah won't let them, but its the IDF fault.
You were in the military, you give an evacuation order, give time to leave and then go forward. What should the IDF do? Just let them fire missiles into Israel? They have cruise missiles in houses.
A dead child, is a dead child, regardless if it's Israeli, Lebanese, Russian, Ukrainian, Palestinian, Kuwaitis, Iraqi or American.
With its nuclear weapons, armor and overwhelming air superiority; Israel feels immune to the consequences of its indiscriminate air attacks against a weak neighbor.
Hope Turkey finally brings some reality to the Zionists. Only then is there a real chance for a negotiated settlement.
Especially since our DC politicians have been bought and paid for by the Zionist lobbyists for decades.
The US needs to stop funding these butcheries. Period.
The US needs to stop using our poor and working class overseas to continue to bleed on behalf of our elites.
WE ARE BEING MANIPULATED.
Might be right.
You have a better shot at peace is Israel wins than Hezbellan or Hamas. They will just find someone else to hate and kill. It is what they do.
They don't hate Swedes, Swiss, Hungarians, or anyone in Central or South America.
Maybe, just maybe it's because none of those countries launch air strikes throughout the Middle East periodically.
We simply need to be like a host of other countries and stop attempting to be the worlds policeman.
Well, for 80 years it worked. Someone had to do it and the US as the Policemen limited the wars to regional types.
Are we ready for what happens when the US as cop isn't there? When we are relying on Putin and Xi's sense of fairness and human rights?
Not saying you are wrong, just that there are ramifications either way.
WW2
500,000 dead US servicemen
Result : Japan, Germany and Italy crushed. Millions dead.
Soviet Union rules Eastern Europe for over 50 years.
China goes communist
Korean War
38,000 US servicemen killed
Result : Mao shows the rest of the Far East the US can be beaten in a conventional war. China begins its journey towards dominance.
Vietnam War
53,000 US servicemen dead. Hundreds of thousands wounded.
Humiliation for the United States worldwide. American society begins its crumbling.
First Iraqi War. Bush and the US Army kicks ass. Follows UN mandate. Liberates Kuwait. Protects western oil nerfs.
2nd Iraqi War. US Army kicks ass again. Conquers Iraqi in one of the most tactically brilliant displays since the Mexican War.
US politicians then lose the peace. Iran power grows in the vacuum.
Meanwhile
9-11 over 3000 US civilians dead
