Which animals are they?

Then he called it wrong. Hezbollah are not going to fold and Iran won’t watch from the sidelines - Israel’s actions since October have pushed Hezbollah to an all out war.

I am really not condoning any retaliation from Hezbollah or Iran but in recent months, Israel has all but destroyed Gaza, killing 10s of 1,000s of civilians, destroying mosques, schools, hospitals and refugee camps and 70% of the infrastructure. They have fired 8 times more rockets into Lebanon than Hezbollah, caused 3,000 injuries with the booby trapped pagers, killed the leader of Hamas, leader of Hezbollah and targeted top military Iranian leader in Damascus - all of which might seem like a victory to Israel - unless Hezbollah and Iran retaliate with force.

I suggested this possible scenario nearly a year ago on this thread - it is all very predictable where this is going.

Why can’t everyone be as open minded as you? The world would be a safer place.

They have to do something or they are a laughing stock. Huge kudos amongst the angry anti Israeli groups around the middle East if Iran can land a punch or two.

Huge kudos from anti semitic Muslims in general which is probably a large majority.

@Zeberdi has been scrupulously careful to post facts without taking sides. A lesson for some is that making critical comments is not taking sides. Whereas relentlessly throwing opprobrium at one side is pointless and tedious.

With what seems the unconditional backing and funding from the US Israel will regularly get home in wins in numerous conflicts in the region. But the chance of winning the peace gets less and less every time.

As for Netanyuhu, yes the main objective is staying out of jail as long as possible. When the chips are down war is a rallying cry
