Israeli soldiers have entered Lebanon in an unprecedented escalation of events which global leaders fear could lead to a wider war in the Middle East.
The southern suburbs of the capital Beirut are also being bomarded by warplanes, with thousands told to evacuate, as soliders began their ground invasion of the country’s southern border in the early hours of Tuesday morning local time...

Israel could end up being a lot bigger?
Conquer the land and it’s yours
They’ve been attacking Israel forever...
Maybe they’ll name a camera lens after him./s
Netanyahu has learned well the hard reality of history. That the necessary thing to do — the moral thing to do in this religious war — is to kill those terrorists whose singular objective is to eliminate the Jews and destroy Israel until every single one of them is dead.

‘Fanny’ is slang for the given name, ‘Francis.’ For girls, anyway. ;)
“Lighten up, Francis!” is always a favorite line around here.
The dark undercurrents within the US State department that oppose Israel’s peace and prosperity create a backdrop against which very few Presidents loom large:
Truman
Nixon
Trump
These Presidents are notable in how they’ve bucked the Deep State grain with respect to the general US/Israel Foreign Policy position. Their few, overt acts of support stand out for their rarity.
Trump FINALLY following through and moving the Embassy to Jerusalem was a stunning outlier.
So, the US has been toward Israel as an iron fist wearing a velvet glove. Our Presidents and Diplomats smile at them on the outside, but the inner machinations that architect our Foreign policy bear them no goodwill.
Your sense that Nixon’s overt act of support may have galvanized Democrat opposition is almost surely valid. More salient, though, would be how it solidified the Deep State opposition and led to the formulation of the plot that became known as Watergate. White House Staff Attorney Geoff Shepard has doggedly pursued every last tranche of memos and personal notes — some of the most momentous having been locked in private archives at Harvard until 2008 — to unearth the complete chronology and documentation of all the players and their motivations.
Nixon was bully-ragged out of office on what turned out to be empty threats; they had nothing on which to bring any charges. Nixon truly had been innocent. He knew nothing of the Watergate plot.
And now we see this same heinous breed of lawfare being leveled at Trump. The dog returns to its vomit.
Madame Vice President, we are at war!

Vice president and Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris has set an impressive bar for word salad.
But in one recent, exceptional statement, she was crystal-clear in her ignorance:
Vice President Kamala Harris declared on a debate stage in Philadelphia that “As of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world, the first time this century.”
In addition to ignoring U.S. troops offshore serving in combat situations, she and her MSM cheering squad have overlooked the most direct threat from a nation-state on American soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor.
But finally, the truth will out.
Even NBC and many other mainstream domestic and international news organizations have now reported on the state of Iran having an ongoing attempt to try and kill our former president and commander-in-chief, Donald Trump.
Top U.S. intelligence officials briefed former President Donald Trump on Tuesday about threats from Iran to assassinate him, a Trump campaign spokesperson said.
“President Trump was briefed earlier today by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence regarding real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States,” spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement.
Iran is now trying to make a direct attack on U.S. soil. Such a move transcends state-sponsored terrorism: Iran has crossed a threshold and is committing an act of war.

I supported Trump when he wanted to make NATO pay more, I know that.
I think the corridor should be like the Panama canal zone. 100 miles or more.
Wherever I hear the phrase from the river to the sea....I think differently.
Like from the Ceyhan river to Caspian... just move people like the soviets were known for.
Well, this is embarrassing . . .
The head of an Iranian secret service unit set up to target Mossad agents working in the Islamic Republic turned out to be an Israeli agent himself, according to former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Speaking to CNN Turk, Ahmadinejad claimed Monday that a further 20 agents in the Iranian intelligence team tasked with monitoring Israeli spying activities also turned against Tehran.
Ahmadinejad said the agents were behind some key Mossad successes in Iran, including the 2018 theft of nuclear program documents that were taken from Tehran to Israel and revealed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The trove is thought to have been a factor in convincing then-US president Donald Trump to pull out of the nuclear agreement between world powers and Iran.
Except they didn't. As I said before to you or someone else...Israel had prior intelligence on the beirut bombings ("No. We're not there to protect the Americans. They're a big country. Send only the regular information"--From the book By Way Of Deception pages 321/322)
Again, this idea that Americans are “sacrificing” for Israel is a mischaracterization.
Israel is escalating this war, and we are going to get dragged into it. Carriers will sink, then boots will be on the ground, then maybe a dozen or so shipping containers on a boat stuck at port will open up, and launch EMPs or nukes.
I believe it's been schizophrenic, jumping the line dividing ass kissing and The Obama Treatment.
The stance of the US expressed in 1989 by then-Secretary of State James Baker was far less nuanced than Kissinger’s remarks. At his swearing in, an aide noted that Secretaries of State all seemed to leave the Office hating Israel. Baker quipped, “What if one started that way?”
The president of AIPAC years back, David Steiner, admitted to manipulating James Baker, "I tell them what they want to hear...I got more than a billion worth of goodies no one knows about" He openly admitted to supporting only those who support Israel and even paying for rigged polls. David Steiner is also quoted as saying: "We gave two employees of ours leave of absence to work on the (clinton) campaign. I mean, we have a dozen people in that campaign, in the headquarters. And they're all going to get big jobs. We have friends. I also work with a think tank, the Washington Institute. I have Michael Mandelbaum and Martin Indyk being foreign policy advisors. Steve Speigel--we've got friends--this is my business."
He goes on to say: "I talked to Bill Clinton and he said he's going to be very good to us."
When asked who Clinton would put on the supreme court, Steiner said: "We're talking now. WE have no commitments yet. We're just negotiating. We're more interested tight now, in the Secretary of Sate and NSA head. That's more important to us. "we are negotiating" who will be SoS!
Now of course, when caught, he claimed he was lying, and resigned, according to the New york times. hhh And oUR GrEateSt aLLy has been caught spying on us HOW many times? Pollard, 60 spies being deported in 2001, (this was after the 1996 GAO report which stated Israel spies on the US more than any other ally.
And then Israel has a history of selling our secrets to china, undermining national security. US national security, to be specific, because THAT is the country I give a crap about,.

“Carriers will sink, then boots will be on the ground, then maybe a dozen or so shipping containers on a boat stuck at port will open up, and launch EMPs or nukes.”
You have a vivid imagination.
Of course Israel spies on us, and tries to influence us, as hard as they can. And the U.S. returns the favor. Democratic Nation States are obligated to their people to try everything, and most do.
So?
There’s a whole hotel by the old Tel Aviv Embassy that is chockablock full of CIA and everybody knows it. So?
So?

"I know what America is," Netanyahu told a group of terror victims, apparently not knowing his words were being recorded. "America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won't get in their way."
F this arrogant punk, and that fat shlub lackey Ben Givr.
Because apparently sending 400 missiles into Israel is NOT an escalation. It's business as usual.
We get it, you hate Israel.
“Israel is escalating this war”
I’d say October 7th last year was a wake up call from Hamas that Israel had best get serious about dealing with Hamas and Hizbullah.
The constant rocket attacks against Israel, suicide vest wearing idiots et al, that’s an escalation and not one of you “hate Israel” types had a problem with that.
No, Israel responds and you all get your collective panties in a bunch.
