White House warns Israel against escalation after rocket attack.
NYT ^ | 07/29/2024 | NYT

Posted on 07/29/2024 11:52:17 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The White House publicly urged Israel on Monday to exercise restraint in response to the rocket attack from Lebanon over the weekend that killed 12 children and teenagers in an Israeli-controlled town, warning against an escalation that could lead to a wider regional war.

“Israel has a right to defend itself — no nation should have to live with this kind of threat,” John F. Kirby, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, told reporters. At the same time, “we believe that there is still time and space for a diplomatic solution,” he said, adding, “Nobody wants a broader war, and I’m confident we’ll be able to avoid such an outcome.”

Israeli and American officials have attributed the attack to Hezbollah, which has denied responsibility.

Mr. Kirby played down speculation about a full-on regional conflict between Israel and the many Iranian-backed militias like Hezbollah. Israel is already at war in the Gaza Strip with Hamas, which receives support from Iran. Another Tehran-backed group, the Houthis in Yemen, has launched drones and missiles at Israel since that war began.

Yeah, because they never resolve anything and they keep stirring the pot to create new problems.

Any aggressive military act by tyrants is “a reasonable response to [somebody’s] provocation”.

Any defensive military act by the victims of tyrants’ aggression is “unjustified dangerous escalation”.

Hey, John F. Kirby: in the midst of you and your buddies and your LGBTQ+ Drag Queens, Homosexual Pride Parades and butchering fetuses in the womb, be certain of one thing:

EZEKIEL 38 IS COMING

If Israel was invaded by a full-scale attack by Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran, Biden and Harris and Schumer and most democrats would be urging Israel to not fight back in order not to escalate hostilities.

Democrats are the most dangerous people that the U.S/ has ever faced.

“Israel is already at war in the Gaza Strip with Hamas, which receives support from Iran.”

________

Should say, “Israel is already at war in the Gaza Strip with Hamas, which receives support from Iran and the USA which has spent nearly a billion dollars just since the beginning of this war.”

near the end,When the Nazi camp officer’s young son “visits” his Jewish friend inside the camp and says “where are all the cafes?” that he had been told were there for the Jews living there. That movie was a special level of horror.

Uh... don’t look now, Biden, but the escalation has already happened thanks to Hezbollah. As usual you’re a day late and a dollar short...

Went up for a little more ice cream (hey Joe, where you going with that cone in your hand)

Anyways, clock on the stove read 1:47 - made me think of:

1 Peter 4:7
Darby Translation

7 But the End of All Things is drawn nigh:
be Sober Therefore,
and be Watchful unto Prayers;

Imagine if Israel warned the U.S. to use restraint after our 9-11 attacks.

Israel wanted us to take out Saddam.

Throughout the leadup to the Iraq War, some recurring Neocon talking points were:

1. Saddam was very close to building a nuke to use on Israel.

2. Saddam was paying the families of Palestinian suicide bombers $25,000 per bombing.

Prepare for Israel to send a very strong message of deterrence that will absolutely draw a response from neighbors and quite likely snowball.

When, not if.
