"The technical sophistication and innovation displayed in Israel's audacious intelligence operation have wowed many observers in the US away from thinking about it in strategic terms, let alone ethical ones.

/4Bowen: Israel believes it has weakened Hezbollah but escalation still carries risks
Israel's allies and critics believe the way to cool this crisis is to get a ceasefire in Gaza - but no agreement is in sight.

Good luck with that BULLSHIT. Mass Murderer Netanyahu is not gonna stop because you ask him, hello???? He’s getting all the weapons he needs from us knowing full well for a year now what’s he’s using them for.

"Netanyahu’s lethal bombs will turn Lebanon into another Gaza. He must be brought down now. The truth is plainer than ever: the Israeli leader needs forever wars to keep himself in power. Innocent lives just don’t matter."

/5Not to mention, an election is looming in the US in which one candidate is Netanyahu's best bud (and Putin's), and strife in the Middle East may garner that best bud more votes.

@Blinxeto I'm not sure who the "you" is that you're addressing. Jeremy Bowen? I can't speak to whether Bowen thinks Netanyahu will stop because the UK or US asks him to do so. I still think that point needs to be made, that it's the responsibility of the UK and US to pressure Netanyahu and not coddle and collude with him.

@NoBeerToday Yes, I agree. I'm also interested in the fact that Netanyahu is mounting these attacks in the lead-up to a hotly contested election in the US in which one of the two presidential candidates is his (and Putin's) best bud, and in which conflict in the Middle East may shake off some more votes for that best bud.

“MASSIVE news that we all missed:
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that he will NOT engage in any cease fire talks for the next 45 days.
In other words, until just AFTER the US election.
After Trump and Netanyahu had an ILLEGAL SUMMIT last month.
Do the math.”

/7Israel’s Deadly War Comes to Lebanon
Israel’s massive aerial bombardment of Lebanon killed at least 558 people on Monday in what is the highest single-day death toll in Lebanon in nearly two decades. Thousands more have been injured in strikes that targeted hospitals, medical centers and ambulances, while tens of thousands of civilians have been forced from their homes. “It has been havoc,” says Michelle Eid, editor-in-chief of Al Rawiya, in Beirut, describing attempts by family members to flee the attacks in the south. “The speed with which this has happened has been incredibly shocking,” says Lebanese writer and translator Lina Mounzer. “Once Lebanon goes up in flames, it’s also very likely that the entire region goes up in flames.”

The next 10-year deal to supply Israel with US weapons is coming due. Negotiations should have started already. Trump losing will probably set Bibi up for a much worse deal.US and Israel sign record $38bn military aid deal
US president says the 10-year, $38bn arms deal will help bolster Israel’s security in “a dangerous neighbourhood”.
