    Good times. If the ME erupts, get ready for $10 gas. If a true WWIII erupts that $10 gas will be the least of our problems. (shooting your neighbors for that last can of dog food).

    I meant, are they boycotting or is it because of the threats? (Your point is well taken though)

    Jake Sullivan at work again? Biden's passive approach to Ukrainian weapons systems, targeting options, and now this...smdh at how someone in this admin is hurting our allies

    Navy commander who oversaw carrier strike group in Red Sea says US command rejected suggestions to hit the Houthis harder over concerns about Iran (msn.com)

    Rear Adm. Marc Miguez said in an interview with the YouTuber Ward Carroll that the US National Command Authority had to consider Iran's response.

    "There are definite strategies that were put forward, but our National Command Authority decided that those — I would call more aggressive postures and more aggressive strikes — was not something we wanted to challenge," Miguez said in the interview published Monday.

    "We all know Iranian-backed groups like the Houthis, where that threat's emanating from," he said. "And so that is the calculus that's handled at echelon zero, at the National Command Authority, with NSA, and everybody else."

    "Those are things that I don't dabble in," he added.

    Biden's approach to Iran has been off since Day 1. They only respect strength and we didn't show it.

    WHO: “Your kid’s paralyzed. He’s got polio.”

    Palestinian parents: “We’re pretty sure it’s the bomb that injured his spine.”

    WHO: “Nonsense, it’s polio and we need to vaccinate.”

    Israelis themselves are starting to reach their fill of Benjamin Netanyahu.
    ‘Stop the world!’: Mass rallies demand Gaza deal as fears grow for hostages’ lives - Time of Isreal
    Demonstrations were also being held Saturday evening in dozens of towns and cities nationwide, as well as on bridges and at intersections across the country. Protests have become louder and wilder since the murders of the six hostages, with demonstrators more often clashing with police and attempting to block roads in greater force.

    Demonstrations have been held daily on Tel Aviv’s Begin Street over the past week, starting with a rally on Sunday night that organizers claimed drew 300,000 people, though there was no independent assessment of the numbers.

    Most of that is pretty accurate. But you are citing someone who wants to play victim.

    Notice that "terrorist" and/or "terrorism" is not included. Because that most assuredly would be mentioned far more wrt Hamas, as it should be.

    Conversely, "war crimes" absolutely should be mentioned more with Israel.

    It's actually quite simple; Hamas committed acts of terrorism. Israel committed war crimes. And to further illustrate the general accuracy of the information your are very very upset about; "crimes against humanity" is also appropriately referenced more wrt Hamas. Pretty simple. And accurate.

    Literally everything you wrote is wrong. I'd say do better but we know that isn't going to happen.

    Always has been. I wrote a paper for school last year about Operation Peace for Galilee, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. A key theme in that particular war was how the PLO just kept kicking Israel's ass in the PR game, no matter what the results looked like in the field. And that was before the internet or social media.
