If not, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that it could have been too dangerous to speak so strongly. Regardless, no one can expect Israel to suddenly say, OK, No problem. We'll retreat now. 😂😂😂 That's a crazy expectation after Israel has heard threats of annihilation and vitriol of destruction coming from Lebanon for many years in addition to the non-stop bombardment of rockets, missiles and drones into Israel for the past year. Israel must keep their ground until they see long term changes with an attitude from Lebanon that they want to live in peace alongside Israel with the eradication of animosity towards Israel. ❤️❤️🇺🇸🎗️🎗️🎗️🇮🇱💙🤍💙🇮🇱

[@thusspokezarathustra]

So this MP continues to blame Israel for not implementing to the letter the UN resolution 1701! Lebanon has no right to have its territory used by an Iranian proxy, Hezbollah to fire missiles into Israeli territory, to build armed bunkers that reach across into Israel territory, etc, etc. The blame is 100% on the Lebanese government. Obviously Lebanon did not feel enough pain during the 2006 war. Well it will continue to feel pain till it implement the UN resolution 1701 to the letter! So MP stop blaming Israel and start implementing the necessary security changes and keep you nose out of Israeli business!

A Lebanese with a brain. It's reassuring to know they exist.

[@thusspokezarathustra]

If the Lebanese government continues to facilitate inclusion of Iran's militia terror proxy will result in Lebanon ending up like Yemen - nothing more than an Iranian colony. Lebanese should do themselves a giant favour and rid their country of Iranian influence. Rather look westward and aim to become a the first Persian EU member state. Such a goal will bring state discipline and very necessary economic stability. Such a goal would need a 180 degree swivel in Lebanons geopolitical worldview. The question is has the Lebanese people suffered enough pain to make them think seriously of going down a more positive path. Only time will tell. Possibly the French government could be a catalyst in reaching a more positive goal. If Lebanon cooperates with Israel along security and economic lines - well then there could be a very bright future.

[@Didigetitwrong]

@@dogzdigital I have researched a lot of media on this and I think the general consensus from leading commentators is Zionism is strong in America and the political system is pay for play. Coupled with this is the fact that Americas prowess as a world power is comming to an end after spending it's wealth on never ending wars. This and the imminent financial threat from the BRICS. All this added up forces America to try to project iys dominance but many commentators say it will never be the power it was in the 1990s.
