    Dems about Gaza: "Biden doesn't have any leverage to stop Israel from slaughtering Gaza"

    Dems about Lebanon: "President Biden has dispatched his top aides to the Middle East with a critical objective: Prevent a full-blown war from erupting between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah."

      When Israeli officials first floated the idea of attacking Hezbollah during the opening days of the Gaza conflict, U.S. officials immediately raised objections, said a senior administration official.

      See? See how Biden couldn't stop Israel?

    It's so obvious that Hezbollah is doing everything they can to prevent escalation, but Israel is determined to drag them in.

      I don't think this is necessarily the case. I think that Hezbollah has been allowing for a slow and steady escalation that puts increasing pressure on the zionist forces, but obviously they want to avoid a sudden escalation that pulls in the US directly.

        Oh yeah, if you follow their strike updates daily for the past month, it's increasing and now is targeting higher value targets in my opinion.

        Particularly the recent strikes in the intelligence and radar bases.

    When Israel ate shit in Lebanon in ‘82, they actually had a faction allied with them.
