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.”

God told these cultists that they're supposed to steal all the land between certain latitudes or something. I dunno. I'm not in that cult.

As an American, I believe you have the relationship wrong. We are Israel's bitch.

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.

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.

Dude...I am yet to hear any individual I interact with support these atrocities.... Americans are pretty disgusted with the government too.

If this is anything to go off I'd wager similar to if Florida was in the middle east.
