Israel has lost effective sovereignty in the northern part of the country, thanks to constant Hezbollah projectile fire that has led to the evacuation of tens of thousands of Israelis, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday.
The Times of Israel reported:
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says that Israel “has effectively lost sovereignty in the northern quadrant of its country because people don’t feel safe to go to their homes.”
In an on-stage interview at the Brookings Institution, Blinken reiterates his belief that Israel does not want a war in Lebanon, but admits that “they may well be prepared to engage in one if necessary — from their perspective — to protect their interests.”
He says that Hezbollah does not actually want a war, that Lebanon does not want one either because it would be the primary victim; and that Iran does not want a war because it would prefer to save Hezbollah for a scenario in which it has a direct conflict with Israel.

Blinking is an idiot.
gee that’s helpful, Blinken trying to be relevant when Bibi has taken Rafah with none of the disastrous consequences Blinken predicted. he is beyond useless = bordering on dangerous.
He has other things to worry about. Maybe he should pay attention to what's happening inside the Palace on the Potomac?
They like to destroy things that they did not build.
That would describe a democrat.
well, that’s on them then.
If “Israel has lost effective sovereignty in the northern part of the country,” certainly, Lebanon has lost effective sovereignty in the southern part of the country.
Time for Israel to start nuking people...
Because suicide is painless....
“So, the only way Israel could invade is to go full Russian and start committing war crimes, “
Wait! I said that out loud?
Yes frkn idjit
How much “projectile fire” do you have to take before it’s considered an act of war; or are only Jews required to exercise restraint?
When it is not your land, that is difficult to calculate.
The dispute is really about whether certain disputed territory belongs to Lebanon or the Israeli illegally occupied territory of Palestine.

What's happening in the Israel-Lebanon border region?Monir Ghaedi

October 16, 2023Tensions in the Israel-Lebanon disputed border area are growing, raising concerns of a broader regional conflict. Here's a closer look.

Border remains volatile, disputed
The border area between Lebanon and Israel remains volatile and disputed, with sporadic clashes frequently erupting.
There is no official border between the two countries. Instead, there is a demarcation line called the Blue Line, which is marked by blue barrels. Stretching about 120 kilometers (about 75 miles) along Lebanon's southern frontier, it was established by the United Nations in 2000 to confirm the withdrawal of Israeli forces from occupied territories in southern Lebanon.
Lebanon has contested the Blue Line, asserting that some of the farms around the border village of Shebaa belonged to its territory and not to the Golan Heights, which Israel has effectively occupied since capturing the territory from Syria in 1967.

Frequent clashes in 2023
Much of the conflict is centered in the area around the divided village of Ghajar, the Shebaa Farms and the Kfar Chouba hills, which are located along the border between Lebanon and the Golan Heights.

Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory illegal: UN rights commission20 October 2022
Human Rights
Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful under international law due to its permanence and the Israeli government’s de facto annexation policies, a UN-appointed Commission of Inquiry said in its first report, published on Thursday.
They probably will, if they feel like they are being pushed into the sea.
So, which Antisemitic puppetmaster is directing the Biden Reich now? The world knows Biden ain’t doing it.
well, that’s on them then.

They would thank you for your noble sentiment, if they could, by killing you. If they were to die in the process they will be martyrs and go to Paradise, while their families will be handsomely compensated with tens of thousands of US dollars.
The terrorists are lucky I am not in charge, because I would have wiped them from the earth and outlawed their devil worship ages ago.
“When it is not your land, that is difficult to calculate.”
the spampusher strikes again.
So who’s land is it then? your arab butt-buddies?
According to the Israel lands Authority, I own my house.
you can post 1000 links if you like but none of your legal mumble jumble changes the REALITY on the ground and that REALITY is that Israel is the one who sits on the land now. So it’s ours regardless of what your endless spam links actually say

Right after 9/11 would have been an excellent time to nuke Mecca and Medina, ending Islam forever.

This knowledge will be useful in establishing the Russian claims to the land that they now sit on, and the additional land they will soon sit on.
However, it is so sad to see that Israel no longer loves the United Nations mother that gave birth to it.
