No surprises there. He knows there's still children in Lebanon he hasn't murdered yet.

His hatred is beyond any reason.

He seriously thinks there's gonna be a US-Iran deal?

What happens when this fuckers heart finally gives out? Seriously, what’s the long term plan here?

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

There isn’t one. Tyrants don’t do succession, it’s part of the overall effect

Yes, when the president dies the country just stops existing. thank you for clearing that up Steven

According to the report, Netanyahu believes Israel now has an opportunity to significantly improve its security situation by pushing Hezbollah beyond the Litani River.

And if that happens, Bibi will say he needs to grab even more land to secure the new land.

Because logically that justification will never end, wherever the border is, there will always be the same "security need" to defend the new land as there was to grab it.

It literally never ends, and as other nations realize that, surrender and peace stop being an option because you know it's just a minor delay.

On a positive note, that attitude was a factor in the collapse of Rome - and the Romans had a much larger economy.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 13 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

But the Romans didn't have a stranglehold on a superpower country through religious cult fanatics. I don't think. Honestly actually wouldn't be surprised.

I think they're being so aggressive right now because they know their hold on both US parties is on a timer.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

No they just were that themselves

I think every time Hezbollah restarts shit by attacking Israel, this response is to be expected

The UN and Lebanon have been unable to stop them so Israel's only real option is to push them back as far as necessary to at least increase the distance for their rockets

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 28 points 21 hours ago

It also won't stop them from attacking Iran again, so...

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 23 points 20 hours ago

I see we've entered the Lebensraum era of Israeli genocide.

[–] Dragomus@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Theoretical next step, Libanon pollutes the lands south of the river all the way to the border with nuclear waste.... What would bibi's answer be then? Still claim wanting the land because of safety?
