It's been the same pattern the whole time.


Right... dealing with Hezbolah, a terrorist organization lobbying bombs at civilian targets, is the problem...

There's no reason for that to ever be allowed to be part of the discussion. It's a complete win for Iran to try to legitimize and cement their terror proxies when they are being ripped out.

Israel is currently invading and occupying territory in Lebanon and is bombing civilian targets in Beirut.

They are literally working with the Lebanese government to get rid of Hezbollah. We all know where you get your propaganda from, so we can forego the "Israel targets civilians" garbage.

Propoganda? Both Trump and Vance have criticized Israel for bombing civilian targets in the last 48 hours.

So what? Trump and Vance don't get to tell Israel how best to defend themselves. This is 100% on Iran and their proxy in Hezbolla. They were given the orders by the Islamic regime to attack Israel to provoke a response to give them cover to break the memorandum. They will never deal in good faith.

And it's propaganda.

What a terrible outcome for Trump and company. America will be perfectly fine even if this does devolve into WWIII or the next Great Depression, but even Trump's biggest haters couldn't have dreamed up a worse year politically for him.

This is going to destroy whatever legacy and support Trump did have left.

You are legitimizing the strategy of hiding behind human shields.That is exactly why this problem has existed for generations. Blaming Israel for not putting up with that anymore when it is literally an existential issue for them is very telling.

Well at least we have moved on from "Israel is not bombing civilian targets" to "Here is why Israel is bombing civilian targets". That was quick


Again, it's not a "civilian target" if it's where Hezbollah is staging military assets. Stop falling for their propaganda.

They are not strictly civilian targets is the point. That is the entire strategy behind Iranian proxies in the area, to build military targets in and under civilians, to say "I'll shoot at you, but there is no way to shoot back at me without my kids in the way". That's not targeting civilians

The issue seems to be what is defined as "defend".

And since when does the US not get to decide? We interject at will in many countries.

When we are paying for their "defense" then yes the US does and should decide. Remove that and they can decide ever how they want to.

"you people" are the people that push Hamas lies and Iran talking points.

again, you immediately jump to Bibi sabotaging this and ignore that Hezbollah already has. Why is that? we already know, so don't bother with the spin.


Not trusting Bibi isn't Iranian propaganda.
And you can go back to ignoring Bibi's past actions Trump has expressed displeasure over.

So basically if the deal is not in Israel's best interests it's ok if Bibi sabotages it because it's in his best interest. I disagree. It's not ok.


You are so anti-Israel that now you are just blatantly lying. I don't care if you hate Israel, but Hez keeps attacking Israel first and then you say that Bibi is the one sabotaging this entire time? Really?

You can't be objective and acknowledge facts and the truth now?

So, you have no pattern recognition of Iran/Hez attacking Israel first, multiple times now? Bibi is calling Hez and asking them to attack Israel in order to sabotage this whole deal? That is your premise here?

As you pointed out yesterday with the buckets. Yes Trump himself has fractured his own party. Even his newly excited neocon group isn't happy now.

What about Lebanon wanting Israel there to purge Hez? That's public knowledge from Lebanese leaders. They want Hez out.

The gaslighting on this thread is reaching new heights. I'm not even that big of a supporter of Israel, but there is no reason for all of the lying that is happening this morning on here.

Israel pays for plenty of it's defensive capability. They are by far our best ally in the region, and they have put their manpower, machinery, and citizens at risk to help us with Iran. They get to decide how to best defend themselves. Period. Just like we do.

You conveniently ignored that they were attacked by Hezbolla first, and Israel was the one responding. If Iran doesn't want Israel to go into Lebanon, then call off the proxies. It isn't complicated. But we both know that's not what they want.

I have no idea nor does anyone else know exactly what Bibi does.
Like his efforts to flow money into Gaza via Qatar. The details vary according to who is explaining it.

But Trump has been critical of his "defensive" actions.

Yeah there plenty of civilian targets destroyed with no assets, weapons, or fighters in them. There is also a civilian cost to target ratio that most countries including the US to try minimize that Israel cares much less for. I know quite a few people in the area.

Why would the US not tell Israel what to do? We literally pay for their entire military and give them all of their weapons. If we didn't subsidize their entire country, then I would agree we shouldn't tell them how to manage their business.

Trump wants out of this. Of course he's critical. He wants Bibi to take these attacks and do nothing about it so we can move on. And this is all irrelevant to the claim you made.

So, it does sound like you are going down the conspiracy theory path of Bibi somehow engineering Hez attacks to sabotage the deal. Wild stuff, man.

Gosh, you are so coy. Yes, he's under indictment, which you know, and his political position is extremely tenuous after this "deal" was struck. He's likely done after this.

So, you are on the conspiracy train that he's engineered Hez attacks as well? Does Iran actually love Israel and they are just puppets of Bibi?

Iran closes the Strait again, citing Israel's occupation of Lebanon and continuing US force presence in the region.

Tehran's recognition that it can hold the world economy at risk likely means this will be an on and off again strategy well into the future.

The law of unintended consequences is in full play as a result of this war.

So honest question on Israel - Lebanon attacks ( and I think I know the answer). All the MSM reports are about Israel's daily offensives that are killing the deal. A very small portion of the news discusses it as Israel responding to hezbella (sp) drone / missile attacks. Is Israel just defending itself, is Lebanon just defending itself or is it just ongoing war with constant exchanges
