    I dont want to talk about the political aspects because I am not well informed, but does anyone know what the thumbnail photo is of? It looks almost other-worldly. I’m assuming it is a weapon of some sort?

    “Under the deal reached today, effective at 4:00 a.m. tomorrow, local time, the fighting across the Lebanese Israeli border will end,” Biden said in the White House Rose Garden.

    “This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities,” he added. “What is left of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations will not be allowed, I emphasize, will not be allowed, to threaten the security of Israel again.”

    Can never tell if Biden is saying what he means to say, or his mind went on a walkabout…

    But it sounds like that’s less of an equal ceasefire and more that Israel will restart if they hear anyone complain about Israel’s actions…

    Like, Biden is literally threatening them, that if they threaten Israel that’s enough for a war…

    And he probably legit believes this is fair and equal

        Nothing is fixed. There are no penalties whatsoever for Israel if they break this ceasefire, and that is by design. Israel wants to pause and reload. When they are ready, they will find an excuse and start right back up. They want that land, and they are going to get it with our help.

              I’m sure if Hamas agreed to retreat 20 miles from the border they’d get the same deal

                Gaza is only 25 miles long and, at it’s widest, 7.5 miles thick. It’s literally impossible to move 20 miles from the border.

                So you’re suggesting ethnic cleansing. You don’t have to say it because that’s the only possible consequence of your suggestion. Absolutely disgusting.

                20 miles from the border is in the Sea… Which shows again how anything short of total annihilation of anyone question Israel supremacy seems insufficient for Israel and its supporters.

                  I’m not sure if you’re joking, but if you’re not, you might want to read a little about the war you’re referencing.

                  Israel invaded those territories because Jordan and Egypt were using them to launch a surprise attack.

                  “Live in peace” is a bit subjective in your example lol

                  I’m sorry I have to explain this. In the case of Hezbollah, they’re agreeing to retreat to a distance from the border from where they can’t (significantly) attack Israel again. The poster I’m replying to questions why Israel can’t (be forced to) make a similar deal with Hamas. I’m using sarcasm to point to an important reason why

              That’s a surprising, to me, interpretation of that comment. Can you please point out to me where the comment argued for diplomacy?

                  Sure. Line-by-line we venture:

                  Sooo…what about Gaza, Biden?

                  No indication of argueing for diplomacy

                  What about Palestine, Biden?

                  Idem

                  Eh?

                  Idem

                  Eh??

                  Idem

                  In conclusion: to the best of my abilities, I fail to see how this comment argues for diplomacy.

                  “He is asking Biden to at least advocate for imposing pressure on Israelis if it can’t do it”, so far as I can see, that tought is not present in that comment.

    A decision to instantly save money, save economies, save lives and people’s blood, save the climate, and start talking like humans instead of luanching metals into each other. I hate wars and the people who profit from destruction of the planet and mass bloodsheding of civilians. Israel’s war crimes fully sponsored, supported and funded by the US have shown their true image oppressing and genociding whom they illegally colonize.
    Their hypocrasy made putin look good taking over Ukraine, and legitimized China’s intent to take over Taiwan by so many levels. You don’t have the right to defend injustice and what you colonize from others wether your name was Israel, Russia, or China. and everyone is sick of hearing about those Western values then seeing them on display as ethnic cleansing and genocide against oppressed stateless people in a ethnostate aparthied.

    I sort of recall that these hezbowlers and their friends eeeseeess pieces removed the thinking part from one of our comrades in the media. It’s been a weird sort of war. Accordingly Israel has actually murdered thousands of children, women and other innocent people including members of the media. The war was started by an attack from the loosing party. Israel shot and killed a woman Journalist named Shirin Abu Akhala may 2022 this before the war really started. Maybe she knew something the rest of us didn’t about the incoming war? Now the entire country has been erased apparently with a small portion of the population remaining. So now is the right time to stop? 😞🛑. I mean sure it should stop. But like we all thought it was time to stop right after it began and the reports started coming in about innocent people being murdered. Then came images of total destruction and murder by drone like remote extermination. Anyway, Trump is an idiot, so if a smart person didn’t stop the war, maybe a total retard can?

      They were never going to eradicate them entirely. But their weight in Lebanon has certainly been reduced. Even more if they break the ceasefire again

        Their approval among there base of shias has only gone up since the conflict started, there approval among non shias has remained constant. Your assuming that Lebanese view the situation as western media portrays it with hezbollah as terrorists and the ones to blame for the destruction but:

        Seventy-eight percent of Lebanese respondents said Israel’s onslaught of Gaza was a “terrorist act”, while only 11 percent viewed Hezbollah’s attacks on northern Israel as “terrorism”.

        This jump in approval among there base is despite them being in government and a horrific economic situation in Lebanon, that’s how much the shia in south Lebanon hate israel and its genocide in Gaza.
