Israeli PM claims forces have taken out ‘Nasrallah’s replacement, and the replacement of the replacement’ as he makes dire warning to Lebanon

Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Lebanese people that they could face “destruction and suffering” like the Palestinians in Gaza if they don’t “free” the country from Hezbollah.

“You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza,” the Israeli prime minister said in a video address directed to the people of Lebanon.

“I say to you, the people of Lebanon: Free your country from Hezbollah so that this war can end.”

    what do you think publicly repudiating Israel would do for the democrats’ chances of winning the presidential election?

    Would probably improve them. Dramatically so if backed by actions such as stopping all weapons shipments

    It makes sense for them to say nothing publicly while privately trying to tie down those loose cannons.

    First of all, no. It doesn’t make sense to publicly do the opposite of what a majority of the population, including an overwhelming majority of your own base, wants.

    Also, “loose cannons” must be a new fucking record for downplaying 75 years of apartheid rule and an ongoing genocide!
