I find it very hard to believe anything from the New York Times.

Amen bro.

The Times of Israel *tweets* The New York Times said so.

That is media reporting media. I want to hear it from Israeli media (even The Times of Israel) reporting it from an Israeli *source* (in the Israeli government, not another newspaper).

Otherwise it's just the NY Times trying to make Joe look good, and The Times of Israel reporting just that.

Probably not true. Where is thr proove that they are running low? I highly doubt the munitions are that costly and there is also no evidence iran was holding back more sophisticated rockets of their own. The government lies so who really knows. One of the obvious things from the attack is Iran is no longer deterred. They either asessed that Israel would respond or that there would be no response snd they attacked Israel directly from their own country anyways. I wonder which reality is worst.

Start with the proposition that every single word that comes from this gooberment is a LIE and go from that. Nothing more or less.

Great point. I would give them the impression that they were hanging on every word that Biden says, and then eliminate their nuclear program and their oil facilities. Take away their capacity to make terror.

I also find it wholly unbelievable. Biden on vacation AGAIN getting his dementia meds retuned and balanced and he convinces Bibi not to retaliate? I just don’t believe it.

Times of Israel is a leftist rag that would say anything to make Netanyahu look bad.

The source is not credible.

This can only mean that Biden did the full carrot and stick. He probably offered a huge amount of arms or funds or both, and alternatively threatened to take some unknown steps that Netanyahu couldn’t ignore.

I’m not in Twitter as a regular.. I tried and I can do without the anger.
I don’t understand why or how people have that vocabulary. I am a senior but I have grandchildren. If one ever showed that kind of rude behavior, I would be on them. They know this and none talk like that. Those grandkids are in sports. They are around other parents who do swear.. They are aware some talk like that.. Just you do not.
They are teachable.. Even parents.

So we’re supposed to believe a battle veteran and long time leader of Israel quaked in fear and backed down when Biden spoke sternly to him?

“This must be how Corn Pop felt. I’m giving in-—now.”

BS

That's the downside of missile defense. The system can be overwhelmed with a determined attack.

I wouldn't be surprised if this round was to test Israel's defenses...gather electronic intelligence...and deplete their stock.

Photo of our fearless or feckless leaders....

So comforting to know they are in charge.

Social media is a reflection of our tawdry, debased modern culture. I’ve turned off many films due to the foul language. Polite society seems to be dying out along with civil discourse. You and I are of the old school. Good for you in trying to instill some politeness into your offspring.
