He needs a war to stay out of prison.

and then leave it to Trump and Jared to "rebuild"?

From google ...

Israel primarily sources its weapons from the United States, which provides roughly 69% of its major conventional arms imports, followed by Germany (about 30%) and Italy. These imports include advanced aircraft, precision-guided munitions, and missile defense systems. While relying on imports, Israel also maintains a robust domestic defense industry.

I think that makes us partially responsible for the destruction in the Middle East.

I am very pro Jew. I've never been able to digest the Holocaust fully. How could people be so sick and cruel. And, like every other nation some narcissist becomes leader and takes good people to a place they never dreamed of going. Bibi is the Jewish people's Trump. I hope there are second chances. Mostly for the planet itself and animals, plants and trees. If humans never evolved again, I'd call that a win.

Yet as the years roll on, they seem bound and determined to inflict the same atrocities they suffered. Inching ever closer. Yes, they have a right to defend themselves but this ain't defending.

Children who grow up being abused, often abuse children themselves. Women marry men just like their fucked up father's and boys are looking for someone just like dear ol' mom. That's pretty general with no numbers to back it up. But maybe more like a belief I seem to have decided was mostly true.

Netanyahu is the Israeli people's Trump.

And yes, it is very important to make that distinction.

"On the American side, the file is being managed by Trump adviser Massad Boulos, who is also the U.S. envoy for Africa.
Boulos, who is Tiffany Trump's father-in-law, has been in contact with Israeli, Lebanese and Arab officials in recent days to facilitate direct talks between Israel and Lebanon."

Seriously? The Israeli right wants more territory.

They declared war on Iran and then began bombing Lebanon, because their goal is "Greater Israel", so they want Lebanon.

After that, they'll need to find a pretext to take Jordan or the chunk of Egypt they want.

I've been gobsmacked for 2+ years that people didn't SEE Gaza was just the start. The blueprint.

And everything else was just deceit.

from various countries. All of Jordan is included and though Jordan is an US ally, who fucking knows what the current administration would do or say should Netanyahu set his sights on them. (ETA: It isn't IF, it is WHEN he sets his sights on them)

People don't see because they choose not to, because any criticism whatsoever of anyone in Israel is "antisemitism".

I don't care if someone's Jewish (or Catholic, Muslim, etc.)...I do care if they are a murderous warmonger and there have been historically and still are a lot of that type in religion since the beginning of humanity, because religion is usually an excuse to kill the people who are in their way or perceived to be.

And still, people think Netanyahu is just 'defending his country'. Yeah, whatever.

that river's water for decades. And this war is giving them an excuse to grab it.

From the Christian Science Monitor in 1982:

triggered some memories of what I'd heard about decades ago.

IDF soldiers have been seen wearing a patch on their shoulder called the "greater Israel" patch which shows nation of Israel over much of that area of the ME, including historic Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, portions of Syria and Iraq, Egypt's Sinai and northern Saudi Arabia, with the words written next to the map saying "Promised Land of Israel" in Hebrew.

While the IDF has stated this is not an official part of the uniform it is a growing topic of conversation among ultra-nationalists and comments by Netanyahu last year did nothing to slow it down:

Than Putin has of trying to retake the old USSR countries.

Bibi, Putin, and trump. They all need to go.

Hmm.

Just take over everything from the Turkish border to India?

For that, you know he'll turn to his favorite sugar daddy. And should Daddy Americabucks balk, a subtle hint of maybe aligning Israel closer with Russia will take care of it, no problem. He knows his audience.

And they are now starting another?!?

Seriously, what the fuck is going on?!?

Get all of “greater Israel” and the orange idiot will encourage it.
