    You guys should google "Greater Israel". These religious fanatics and Zionist (getting back their promised land) in Israel want to bring back their Messiah and want the USA to pay for their adventures. Mr. Grand Terrorist himself, Netanyahu carries around this new map of Israel.

    Billions of dollars going to be spent on fulfilling Israel and Saudi Arabia's wet dream of no Iran in the region.

    Just recently they were displaying a trade route through Saudi to the Suarez canal to compete against China Belt road trade route. Crazy how much this is all about power, money, and trade.

    I think the people in the USA deserve better at home with improved schools and infrastructure rather than the feeding the military complex of the elites with more wars.

    They are using the crazies of the United States to spread this vision of democracy and freedom which is just a front for more power in the region. Stupid people buy into that crap.

    I largely agree with this - and my time in the Middle East and family and friends is consistent with your depiction of Israel in the Middle East. There are groups that have been marginalized by the Iranians that would support Israel in the short term over their oppressors, but the people in the Middle East are VERY distrustful of Israel - and that includes the Christians.

    Where I will disagree with you is the idea that Jews always have and do want to live only with other Jews. That certainly isn't the case in the United States. The overwhelming majority of Jews are secular Jews and most of the time are not religious - and will marry, live and be close to those that are not Jewish. It really isn't an issue in the USA for the most part. It is common to be friends or work with someone here and not know they are Jewish because they are not practicing, or if they do practice it just doesn't matter. Also - in Central Europe there were many secular Jews, many that did not practice or marginally practiced. That is part of why Hitler saw his popularity go down when he started going hard at Jews. Was it as secular like the USA? No, not to the extent it is in 2024.

    However - I can see why the Arab world could view Judaism differently because Israel IS a nation founded specifically on being a Jew. It caters to Jews and is for Jews - and that is going cause problems.

    I think it's beyond Iraels agenda. Its about protecting the american dollar. Once they formed Brics I knew they would be trouble. US to me is the mastermind.

    I don't know anyone in the USA that likes the Iranian government.

    This is so naive.

    I heard the same thing about Syria, Iraq, Libya and countless others.

    Oh, I don't think this is just one party being the mastermind. It is an agreement between a coalition of countries. Saudi, Israel, India, and USA, they are working together on this agenda. I think it's smart and works in the interest of all parties involved.

    You just cannot package this anything different other than those guys are terrorists look at Oct 7 and look at Iran being so aggressive firing 180 missiles. This is all about interests in the region and creating a stable trade route through to India. They are replacing China as they play the same game.

    I didn't say anything "started" on October 7th, I said that what is happening in Gaza is clearly a direct response to what happened on October 7th, and it obviously is. You can tell by the way it happened just after October 7th and that October 7th is constantly mentioned as the reason it was done.
    The disease of understanding cause and effect and linear time.
    You shouldn't, as what I am saying clearly flew right over your head.
    This is a debate and discussion forum and the topic of this debate and discussion is the Hezbollah-Israel war. What topic were you in this thread to talk about?
    Oh, it is definitely real life, and hopefully real death for thousands of terrorist scumbags.
    No, you misunderstood. I am against the terrorists, in favor of Israel.
    Google, "will it's tough to here but it's the truth"? Okay.

    I got a bunch of results about the movie A Bug's Life. That seems like it was a waste of time.
    I hope Israel continues wiping the terrorist trash from the face of the earth.
    I'm glad you are also clear in which side of this fight you support.

    I have always thought it a bit strange that one strikes, then we wait for the retaliation and then the retaliation after that, and so on, and so on.

    I also think it strange that some can supposedly know what the one firing missiles is meaning by the scale of the retaliation.

    What if one side decided not to retaliate?

    Does anyone know what the end game is here for both sides?

    I don’t think anyone knows what the end game is especially the combatants.

    The Jihadists's desired end game is to murder all Jews.

    Israel's end game would be to just live in peace, without insane Jihadists trying to murder Israelis, cheered on by dumbass leftists in the West.

    I believe Israel has a right to exists and be at peace but considering this isn’t the first time they’ve bombed and invaded Lebanon how is this getting them closer to peace?

    I agree Hezbollah is a terrorists organization, the Iranian regime is awful. They aren’t good guys but Israel’s been fighting them for decades and hasn’t wiped them out. Israel’s strategy has been endless war.

    More than 8,000 rockets had been fired at Israel from Lebanon by Hezbollah since Oct. 8, 2023. Hezbollah had been preparing for this for decades. More than 80,000 Israelis had been displaced from their homes since then.

    Why do you leave out this fact?

    Israel's strategy is not endless war. The Jihadists are waging endless war - Israel is just fighting for survival. Get that through your head.

    If the Jihadists stopped trying to murder Israelis and to wipe Israel off the map, the conflict would stop, immediately.

    And how many Lebanese have been killed by Israeli bombing and air strikes?

    why do you leave out that fact?

    If this strategy worked then Israel
    Wouldn’t be fighting now since they did the same thing back in the 80’s, again in the first decade of this century and ten years ago.

    im not going to even pretend to have simple answered but if the goal is peace Israel isn’t any close to getting it.

    You are a leftist, so you are anti-Israel. You follow the party line.
