There was no hint of de-escalation as Israeli warplanes bombed a residential area of Beirut on Friday, killing at least 31 people, including multiple Hezbollah commanders, and wounding at least dozens of others. Lebanon’s Ministry of Health said that the dead include three women and seven children.
During a Saturday television interview, Israeli Minister of Education Yoav Kisch falsely proclaimed that “there is no difference between Hezbollah and Lebanon.”
“The way things are progressing at the moment, Lebanon will be annihilated,” he vowed. Pressed on the genocidal implications of the word “annihilated,” Kisch said, “Lebanon as we know it will not exist.”
As an American, I believe you have the relationship wrong. We are Israel’s bitch.
It’s really more like one of those really toxic codependent relationships where both seize to use any reason because they’re just whoring to the whims of the other.
Like a really sexually frustrated 50 year old (married) guy and a 20 year old bipolar exotic (male) dancer with a substance abuse issue
Not Israel’s so much as Bibi’s.
He loves to humiliate us cause we’re his sub and he gets off on showing us how total his control is.

I mean yeah that was a time when American presidents had more balls. Now we have Trump and Joe Zionist Biden.
Support for Israel is their choice and interest. They aren’t being held by the balls like you make it sound.
Past presidents supported Israel while making it clear (sew Reagan’s phone call) that they won’t allow nonsense like what Israel is doing right now.
But they literally did. What Israel is doing is not new. The only thing new is media coverage.
It is. The scale of violence in Gaza right now is unprecedented in the region, surpassing even the Nakba and the two invasions of Lebanon, specifically because past US presidents had (definitely too loose, but not nonexistent) reigns on Israel.
US has only one master and that’s capitalism. Israel has money and is making the war machine rich. If Israel started costing the rich in the US money that would change very quickly.
