Netanyahu just full-on pushing Israel into a regional war to stay in power. Sadly, the US is probably going to help him.

Can't wait to see the Israel apologists start arguing that Israel flattening city blocks in other countries is justified, but other countries attacking Israel in response at all, is evil and unjust. Looks like at least one is already here...

Damn Israel really should stop hiding rocket lunchers in Tel Aviv and using humans shields

Israel's been acting like a rabid dog attacking all its neighbors. I hope someone takes it out back and puts it down before it causes more harm

It will happen eventually... US support days are numbered... as boomer die off, we will slowly start cleansing our selves undue influence from Israel and parasitic lobby.

Sadly Palestinians will either be killed off or displaced...

And we will say never again, again 🤡

Iran is an oppressive regime though no sane person plays pinata with a Hornets nest and expects the Hornets to not retaliate. This is about Benjamin Netanyahu being a warlord while treating all Israels neighbors badly.
