Well, he is doing everything right; moreover, this is generally approved by the U.S., so there will be no economic consequences for Israel from what he is doing. Again, he can be understood here. If someone like Putin is forced to gradually increase the intensity of action simply because Ukrainians and Russians are essentially the same, then there are no Jews among Hezbollah at all, and Netanyahu can immediately play big.

No, he is not doing everything right. He is dooming Israel. He has made enemies with most of the world, which sees Israel as an extremist terrorist state the threatens the world and needs to be put down, just like Islamic State needs to be put down, for indeed the same reasons... the fact that they are terrorists without restraint on the use of power and without regard to non-Jewish human life, without respect for national sovereignty or international rules (like consulates) assassinating anything anywhere. This is more dangerous than the extreme Islamists, and more dangerous than Hitler who did not have nukes. I feel sick about the innocent Jews in Israel that will suffer the backlash of these horrific acts of terror, and I recommend that they leave Israel for the time being at least.

Israel will successfully achieve all of their current goals in Southern Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank while creating the exact conditions that will necessitate further action in the future allowing them to take even more territory. They will also claim defeat and victimhood while doing so and their enemies will claim victory. Also, presenting one of those innocent Israelis: nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpawuu68ynf4ahta8uydy9uamuk7vy8s8z5cnwhvgd5am4y3enl9mqyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddakk7um5wgh8q6twdvhsz9thwden5te0v35hgar09ec82c30wfjkccteqqszxjsj03p34mecpsplftrmt22yavqvfuwk7yd2cd2espyh2qxly9g4gu033

20yo brooklynites cannot ever win a ground war against an enemy motivated by avenging their families being slaughtered in the most cowardly way of dropping bombs on their heads, or their land being stolen...

Doubt it. And even if, it's not going to last. Their only lifeline is gringo boots, the children who want to go to college but were not born with a silver spoon in their mouth, to come and die for them... That's why Israelis have been trying so hard to goad Iran into war.

No matter who wins the election next week Israel will continue to receive effectively infinite financial support, munitions and military intel from the USA. It's unlikely they will need US troop support but if genuinely threatened I have no reason to believe they wouldn't get that too.

Support is definitely down, but even on the Gaza conflict where Israel has been generally accepted to have met the criteria for a genocide only 31% of Americans say they've gone too far as of Oct 1. Importantly US political leadership is steadfast in their commitment to Israel. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/10/01/slight-uptick-in-americans-wanting-u-s-to-help-diplomatically-resolve-israel-hamas-war/

juice are smarter and will win this war like they always do, arabs will just make more babies & want revenge + dreams to conquer the world with their religion, theyre addicted to war, theyll never learn, it will go on like this forever

Israel is not a nation or a State - it was always a terrorist organization anyone living in Israel is volunteering to be a human shield the idea that Jews need Israel to escape antisemitism is beyond laughable because Jews are the most privileged group of people in both US, Europe, Russia and Ukraine. Israelis are Terrorists. period end of discussion. with all the money they get from America they could have paid every single Palestinian and Lebanese to leave - but they prefer to bomb them instead because they are Demons in Human Form @Lucas Gage #1 Fan

Well, if we put aside your pacifist slogans, what's his mistake? He effectively demonstrates military power, he's a partner of the U.S., he expands Israel's sphere of influence, and physically eliminates the enemy population.
