Genocide, land and resource theft - just like Gaza.
Meanwhile Donvict writes -we can take what we want and become rich - their oil .
Naked imperialism and genocide.

Respect for the Other, then comes understanding for the Other’s position, then follows appreciation for the Other as neighbors and friends.

Otherwise, the way things are going, it’s soon World War 3. Once the nukes start to fly, no place on earth will be safe.

I am sure that he will keep Israel safe while we at home can protect ourselves.

For me, the best way to guarantee peace is to make anything other than non-violence unthinkable. The idea of a nuclear exchange should scare the heck out of everybody. And yet, we have individuals who intentionally prod the other side to do what Obama called, “stupid shit.”

One might suggest Lebanon fight back against this invasion, but they don't seem to have an appetite for it. Or the ability.

This is partially true, due to corruption. I did look it up. All I found was AI slop.
I certainly did not mean offense.

Best they could do is cut off aid to Israel, which wouldn't stop the military operation/ethnic cleansing in the short term.

that has free health care until we have it. It’s like we pay for theirs but not ours.
