Netanyahu will seize opportunity to retaliate against Iran while America is distracted with election

"Netanyahu realises that now is a good time to act."
Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a "savvy political operator" who knows he can more easily ignore American calls for restraint whilst the nation is tied-up in election season, says Harriet Alexander, senior features reporter for The Times.

The first guest referring to Netanyahu as "savy" was shocking and this should haunt her for the rest of her days....he is nothing more a genocidal killer (and is recognised as a war criminal by the International Court)...Israel cannot exist with infuriated enemies on all sides and a divided society hellbent on killing its neighbours. What misery he has brought to the world....'savy' eh? Time will tell

Jews were in Jerusalem before Muslims . That land belongs to them.

[@dragonade85]

@@DDd-f9g The Jews were kicked out of the land 2,000 years ago; and even then they were not the sole inhabitants of the area. And as I recall, they took that land by violence in the first place. Israel's legitimacy rests on UN resolution 242, not on archaic texts, ancient history and religious beliefs.

You can't be recognised as a war criminal without a trial and conviction - surely you know that?? Or have you already weighed all the evidence and made your determination on behalf of us all? Gee thanks for sparing us all the effort.

Reports say Israel suffered casualties on the border, withdrew. This was always going to be the hardest, combat on the ground

[@JosephNZUK]

I don't think you understand what "limited incursions" are. The IDF special forces are already roaming south of the Litani. The regular brigades have said they are going in and out.

[@holaclive]

@JosephNZUK That's what the report says, they they were met with a barrage of rockets, and helicopters took away casualties. If the special forces are in Lebanon its logical they will come under attack. I don't have to understand anything. Israel said they are carrying out limited incursions. At some point they have to cross the border, and Hezbolla responds

[@JosephNZUK]

What was Israel thinking invading Lebanon, this could get messy, and draw in other Muslim countries.

[@rcchin7897]

As the USA becomes more energy independent, and becomes less of a “world’s police” (which is fine with me, since I, as a taxpayer, am paying for it), it becomes less reliant on other countries (ie. For foreign oil), but also has less influence on them, not that USA’s influence is always particularly welcome. This means that the USA isn’t sticking its nose into everyone’s business, yet, although the west isn’t, can still flout its power if it wants, rather than if it needs to, since it has fewer foreign interests. Unfortunately, the entire West has shown it’s too scared to interfere, when it really should squash “Death to America” threats swiftly. As a result, the West is seen as an entire joke, and countries, from China to Iranian proxies, pretty much do whatever they want. The Dems share the fault with EU, but at least, as an American voter, I can make my vote known in the USA.
