U.S. officials are anticipating that the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah will increase significantly in the coming days, potentially sparking an all-out war between the two sides.

American officials have long said that both Israel and Hezbollah want to avoid war. But tensions are at an all-time high following Israel’s consecutive attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon this week. The latest analysis inside the Biden administration is that it will be difficult for both sides to de-escalate, according to two senior U.S. officials familiar with the conversations.

It's going to be disastrous for Israel if they keep opening up new war fronts, especially if it coincides with beginning to lose funding and military tech from supportive countries. How do they honestly see this ending? I feel bad for the Israelis in Israel that don't support this government or its two criminal "wars." Inevitably they who also suffer for these decisions.

Netanyahu doesn’t think that far ahead. He hopes to push these various groups into war, then he will cry that he’s being attacked for no reason and get Congress to throw tens of billions of dollars at him, and maybe swing the election to Trump as well.

They're taking another page out of Hitler's notebook.

Unfortunately those Israelis are just a tiny fraction. The majority fully support the war efforts. This is what's happening after a concerted effort to dehumanize Palestinians.

I feel bad for anti-zionists throughout history. They've been horribly threatened, attacked, encaged, robbed, genocided, etc. by zionists. But I don't feel bad for them if the state that they oppose fails. They have nothing to gain from zionists continuing with more genocide, terrorism, war, etc.

Yeah that's a better way to put it. Thank you.

Oh yes the biggest victims of this whole thing are the Israelis. Won’t somebody please think of them.

The problem isn't Israelis. The problem isn't Palestinians. The problem is assholes.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Israel seems a little asshole-rich at the moment.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

At the moment? Wait until you find out about the last 75+ years of history.

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but they have those “not in my name” cats too.

So just by the sheer weight of their balls they are winning on mass

Well, TBF Palestine had more than their fair share as well.

The problem is zionism.
