    I think Israel senses that the writing is on the wall. For decades they’ve preferred to gradually expand their borders, slowly antagonizing their neighbors and then using the resulting retaliations to justify land theft.

    But this shtick is wearing thin. Slowly the tide is turning against Israel, even in the US. And Trump is likely to be the high water mark for US support of Israel. Trump’s given them a blank check, so they’re treating this as their last chance to grab as much land as possible while facing minimal international resistance. This is the fire sale of the US/Israel alliance.

      Is it? Public sentiment might be turning against them, but actual political support for them is only increasing, and not just from Trump; even ostensibly “left wing” governments like UK or Australia are still pulling out all the stops to ensure Israel gets what it wants and domestic criticism is crushed

      USA can’t turn against Israel, it IS Israel, Israel is our baby. We made it with the UK, Israel is used for military and intel, more than anywhere else in the world. A forever hot spot and training ground

      Unless the jewish people who oppose the actions of Israel start speaking up there may not be a difference going forward. Sadly.

      Israel and Zionists constantly conflating the state of Israel with the Jewish people is responsible for much of the rise of anti-semitism, and it’s all on purpose, too. Israel wants Jews living in other nations to feel more and more in danger so that they move to Israel so they can be used as settlers to push more native people out of their homes. It’s all part of the Zionist plan and has been since the formation of the state of Israel.

    Calling out Israel’s actions as a country have been declared “anti-Semitic”, and thus a hate-crime.

      Ironic since anti semitisms definition includes comparing all semites with jews or a jews state.

    We have greater fear of the word ‘antisemetism’ being used inappropriately against us than we are to appropriately speak out or take action to prevent the eradication of semetic people In Palestine and Lebanon. Here in the UK it was unlawful with many arrested for protesting in public or online. We cannot be the hand over evil by staying silent.

    The constant indiscriminate killing is insane.

    What is even crazier is coming to realize with modern technology it isn’t indiscriminate and they may very well know with good accuracy who is dying before they do.

    The implications of this type of warfare is beyond chilling.

    Lebanon’s government and military were actually helping Israel combat Hezbollah. It was the only path towards stability.

    You see the thanks this got them…
