It is clear that Israel is trying to start a war with Iran and Hezbollah and drag the United States into it.

Because once the forever war is finished, so is Netanyahu.

The USA is trying to start a war with Iran and Lebanon, and Israel is their instrument.

Israel does have a lot of leverage in the US and the current elections. Netanyahu practically dogwalked Biden into this. The danger is how incredibly WEAK the US government is now to do anything rational or decent. They've paralyzed themselves. Thanks Obama!

The US had plenty of chances to avert this.

Don't sell weapons to terrorists.

A day late and a dollar short.

Who would have thought Israel would just be the new Russia a few years ago. Now we need to stop sucking their dicks.

I hope these bombs have better accuracy than their pagers.
