    Israel is "retaliating" by a "Preemptive strike" / make it make sense
  • @MichaelS00
    With as many problems as middle eastern countries cause is there a no state solution on the table?
  • @blakeamerica
    "escalatory deescalation"??? Do words have meaning anymore?
  • "Israel bombs Lebanon" is media machine speak for "Israel targets Hezbollah rockets hours before terrorist attack". 1984 indeed.

    Nasty thief broke in a house, kicked out the owner, picking fights with all the neighbors without repercussions because his daddy is the corrupt sheriff.
  • @ElyziumPrime
    The amount of BS they try to spew to cover Israel is unbelievable
  • @joshlowe2233
    She says " not even the loss of one soldiers life" so is that okay to launch 300 missiles with intent to murder as many as possible and u kill not one "soldier" then does that make it better?
  • They have been fighting over land and religion for 2000 years ! They love it !
  • There will never be a cease fire, THE LORD COMING ANYTIME
