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.

In effect the White House gives approval to kill Israeli citizens but you can not kill Hezbollah terrorists.

Those children killed were Druze. The Druze are an ethnoreligious group concentrated in Syria, Lebanon, and Israel with around one million adherents worldwide. The Druze follow a millenarian offshoot of Isma’ili Shi’ism. Followers emphasize Abrahamic monotheism but consider the religion as separate from Islam. Click on link for more information about the Druze. https://rpl.hds.harvard.edu/faq/druze-syria#:~:text=The%20Druze%20are%20an%20ethnoreligious,religion%20as%20separate%20from%20Islam.

The Druze are some of Israels finest soldiers. They are warriors and loyal to Israel.

Little late to be the Neville Chamberlain of this era, but he’s on the right track.

So in essence, the Biden/Harris plan is for Israel to just take it, and take it, and take it, until all the Jews are dead?

Hard to image a father picking up the pieces of his child so she can be buried.

The whitehut Regime is satanic. It collectively knows what satan knows. Satan hates the God of the Jews and the Christians because they cannot be brainwashed or controlled. Therefore, the Regime slanders and imprisons Christians. They warn the Jews and cut off their ability to defend themselves.
They have no fear of the Islamic states because they are already of satan and can be used for the Regime’s own purposes.

With the degree of explicit and implicit US involvement in Israel’s wars, what Israel does with our weapons and our intel is MOST CERTAINLY our business.

At the risk of being repetitious if the Jewish people living in their ancestral homeland want to survive or face a Second Holocaust they need to go Biblical here.

Wipe them all out. Root and branch. Down to the last generation. Leave no stone atop another and salt the earth.

These savages are killing the children of Israel, literally, the very next generation.

It’s time to bring that judgement to the Muslims and kill their children.

Then it’ll stop.

Scholars estimate the Israelites killed a quarter of a million Canaanites and others to obtain the Promised Land.

Make of that what you will in perspective of their current battles.

That’s my point. They need to look back to how it was done in The Late Bronze Age and apply it to the 21st. century.

Their enemies are literally killing Israel’s next generation.

Imagine if that were here.
