    We’re telling our leader to knock it off, and they’re telling their leader to crank it up, and Iran is making their cooperation on a peace deal contingent on Israel backing off of Lebanon. The only barrier to peace on the Middle East is Israel.

    Jesus, I thought he might be losing support because of all the death, destruction and rape. But no - it’s not enough for them. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

      When you live in constant war, its really easy to instill fear and foment hate. That’s why netenyahu keeps up the war machine, its his primary avenue to power.

    The last ceasefire lasted little more than a year and Hezbollah used that time to rebuild, so I think that a new ceasefire now is not likely to be in Israel’s best interest, especially if it involves ceding occupied territory. Trump just wants to claim victory (and he might get away with it politically because the effects of failure on life in the USA will be significant but indirect) but the security of the people in northern Israel depends on actually achieving victory.
