This once again confirms it, and the quote has to be updated: To quote Michael Brooks: "It’s not a complex issue. That’s the big thing. It’s super simple. There’s one group that has enormous power. It’s the most powerful country in the Middle East. It’s backed by the United States. It acts on MULTIPLE other populations of people with total impunity and it’s never held accountable for anything." R.I.P.

I suspect if Israel didn't have such unwavering support from the US there would have been a 2 state solution years ago. They can act with impunity with no consequence.

[@rosarose3443]

When they planned their invasion why didn't they include the protection of their own women and children. Instead they built hundreds of tunnels deep underground under every civilian home, school, hospital etc, not to provide shelter for their own innocent civilians when naturally there would be retaliation, but to protect their terrorists and hide the innocent men, women and children they kidnapped. A country that values the lives of their own women and children who is prepared to attack another country should first ensure they provide protection for their own women and children. If they do not then they are guilty of causing their deaths.

Israel just eliminated multiple senior members of Hezbollah in one coordinated attack in a super creative and radical manner. That was a secretive attack at a high level. I have not seen CIA being capable of achieving that level of success for a long time... If Hezbollah is not scared, they will definitely loose. This attack should scare anyone about the capabilities of the Israel secret services... Someone needs to respect their opponent enough to fear their skill or they will be no match for them...
