“No, US is not worried, democrats are. They are worried that Hez might be wiped out.”

The Democrats are merely trying to appease the ‘wolves’ they have imported. Leading Democrats feel the need to gain and retain power by just any means at hand.

Leading Democrats are generally sadly deficient in morality and decency.

Of course, that is what Biden is doing, so he thinks everyone else is a sh*thead like him.

“How do we know this regime didn’t know about or help Hamas with their attack”

Someone at “American Thinker” wrote that the US government doesn’t want Israeli to preemptively protect itself.

Gantz understands the situation well and the US government should let him do his job without interference.

Is the risk of a regional war really in Israel’s interest or mostly in Netanyahu’s interest? Hezbollah isn’t exactly a pushover and the IDF struggled last time they fought in Lebanon. And Hezbollah has more sophisticated drones and missiles this time around. Then there is the real risk of bordering countries like Egypt and Jordan becoming destabilized. Be careful what you wish for, this whole thing could easily get out of hand.

That’s just the problem, Netanyahu can try and make it our business whether we like it or not. It could ultimately have a negative affect our regional alliances with the surrounding Arab Islamic countries in a very negative way. Exactly whose interests take priority here, ours or Israel’s? These interests are not always the same.

The Golda Meier government knew the ‘73 war was coming but didn’t preemptively strike or even go on high military alert because of US pressure. It was not actually near the negligence that the seditious Israeli military and intelligence commanders are responsible for today.

The Times of Israel is worse than the LA Times. Their journalists must have been educated in the US.

Re: "the failures that enabled October 7 massacres"

What failures?

Hamas attacked with 2,000 Suicide Soldiers, most of them dressed as day laborers, and most of them amphetamine fueled teenagers.

All of the Hamas military officers remained in Gaza.

The deepest penetration into Israel was less than four miles, to a music festival, that had private security, but ran out of ammunition.

Almost all the hostages were transported to Gaza within four hours.

Approximately 1,500 of the Suicide Soldiers were killed in the first 24 hours.

Most of the 500 survivors returned to Gaza with hostages.

Honest headline:

Democrats worried Netanyahu could wage war on Hezbollah and win.

Dems seem to have no tricks in the bag but accusing others of what they are doing themselves. They can’t possibly fail to realize how obvious this is. They must keep doing it to laugh in our faces, knowing the general public is too dull to notice.

I’m down for eliminating Hezblabla but Bebe has to be careful of a 2-front war and realize that doing this, pulls the pin on Beirut, Damascus, the whole Levant. POP THE POPCORN!

Yup. More political interference in Israel by the Democrat (aka Communist) Party.

You have to ask yourself, what is the motivation of Hamas attacking Israel? Seems like Hamas wants political gain as well.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
