Israel reaches cease fire with Hezbollah, fighting shifts to Syria

[gtyellowjacket]

What is the logical reason to continue to provide military aide to an ally that disregards any restrictions you propose regarding the use of that aide and/or any input on the underlying military campaign?

Of course the most obvious answer is that there is an overriding interest in seeing that ally prevail but I would be interested in viewpoints on this. For example, Ukraine has had to abide by every restriction that has been imposed by the West (including the US) on use of their weapons against Russia.

Don't kid yourself. The overriding reason that Biden let Israel get away with flaunting our agreements is campaign donations. The reason Trump is going to let them get away with it is an awful lot of Evangelical voters.

You state this as fact. I’m not at all sure this is the case and neither are you. This is a strong opinion that should be prefaced with “I think…”

That would require that poster to actually think.

UN Security Council 1701 or nothing else. Hezbollah north of the Litani and the LA to backfill. Until then, the IDF will continue to purge.

Israel Strikes Sites in Lebanon Amid Fragile Cease-Fire​

As the truce appeared to largely hold, a deal appeared far away in Gaza, where an Israeli strike killed dozens, according to a rescue group.

I guess “ceasefire” is a more malleable term than I imagined.

No evidence of a genocide?

These are not isolated incidents. These have been happening for 75 years.
