Hezbollah missiles directed at / hit Bibi's home.

This isn't going to end well.

This is a good primer/vulgarisation of the conflict for you (bottom video).

Now we need a video where some goofy dude says "One side steals the aid intended for Palestinian people; tells the world the UN is responsible for governing the Palestinian people (not them); puts weapons and fighters in hospitals, schools and homes; has terrorists masquerading as UN workers; tortures and kills its own people if they do / say anything positive about Jews/Israel; has as its core policy the killing of all Jews; uses Palestinian civilians as human shields...and magically convinces some amount of the world population to act like lemmings and believe they are victims."

So basically, a compilation of the usual set of Israeli hasbara or propaganda, which has been working fairly well to date with segments like older conservatives, with as the exclamation point in chutzpah the Israeli claim to victimhood, 50,000+ Palestinian lives through this mass slaughter.

…..but Cal88 will tell you tRump will be worse than Harris with regard to giving Israel the green light to act as it deems appropriate. There is a reason Bibi and the Right Wingers in Israel are All In for tRump.

It will be interesting if this criticism keeps up if tRump wins.

Yes, Trump is terrible on Israel, bought out by nearly a quarter billion dollar donations from hardcore zionists like the Adelsons. This being said, I don't think there is much daylight between him and the people who have been running US policy there, mainly Blinken and former IDF soldier Amos Hochstein, who have been running the show and who have given Netanyahu everything he wants, $20B in non-stop vast military convoys allowing the ongoing genocide.

Blinken has OKd acts like the ongoing medieval starvation of Gazans and the attacks on hospitals and humanitarian workers.

It's all opinion but mine is you are probably correct about daylight between Biden and Trump, just differences around the edges in how far they'll publicly go and how nuanced they'll be. I expect there will be tremendous daylight between Harris and Trump, with Harris - once unshackled from an election cycle - turning to her AOC / Socialist roots and being profoundly anti-Israel

"AOC/Socialist roots"?!? There really isn't anything that Trump's GOP could tell you that you wouldn't believe whole heartedly.

If Trump told you tomorrow that Cal 44 OSU 7 was fake news and a socialist fascist plot, you would be posting the same here an hour later, along with the rest of the BI Conservative Clowncar.

I haven't seen anything from Kamala that indicates that she will veer towards a more moderate stance on Israel. As well in Europe the most rabid pro-zionists have been leftists like Keir Starmer in the UK and Annalena Baerbock in Germany, who recently stated that Israel has a right to bomb hospitals and residential neighborhoods.

Yes, Yogi and Matt Taibbi fully endorse this line of thinking about Harris.

Remind us: when was the last time you were critical of Republicans and/or Trump.


Or are we waiting for the first time?

Rudy isn't quite to the point of living in a cardboard box under the Expressway, but it's possibly not that far off.

Per CNN:
In 2019, GovTrack, a non-partisan organization that tracks bills in Congress, ranked Harris as the "most liberal compared to All Senators.


Per The Hill
The Voteview project (now based at UCLA) has, since the 1980s * * * locate(d) all senators and representatives on a liberal-conservative ideological map.
* * *
In the 115th Congress (2017-2019) * * * Harris had the third-most liberal voting record, after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.).

In the 116th Congress (2019-2020) * * * Harris had the second-most liberal voting record after Warren.

None of what you describe is socialism. Typical conservative hyperbole. Anything to the left is Socialist. It's always been that way. Since Nixon.

Most of these losses are from Gaza, but the Lebanon war is going to be far bloodier for Israel due to the terrain, equipment and training of Hezbollah troops.

The whole blob is in on it. Trump rubber-stamped the Israeli annexation of the Golan Heights, where oil was discovered and licenses granted to a company owned by these people:

Quote:

The president of its Israeli subsidiary is Effie Eitam. Genie Energy's Strategic advisory board is composed of: Dick Cheney since 2009 (former vice president of the United States),[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_Energy#cite_note-3][3][/url] Rupert Murdoch (media mogul and chairman of News Corp), James Woolsey (former CIA director), Larry Summers (former head of the US Treasury), Michael Steinhardt, Jacob Rothschild,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_Energy

The bigger deals to be made in Gaza are in the offshore gas, which Israel is grabbing along with a chunk of Gaza. Adam Hochstein, the Biden administration point man in Israel, is in the thick of it.

https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2023/11/what-does-us-envoy-hochsteins-trip-israel-mean-gazas-offshore-gas

The plan is to supply Europe with this gas, part of the reason Blinken and co blew up Nordstream. Blinken's focus on gas pipelines to Europe goes back decades ago.

Is the war over yet? Trump has said he could end these conflicts on day one. Why wait until January? Get the necessary parties on the phone and do what you promised.
