“I don’t see how an Israeli invasion of Lebanon will end well. Not at all. Did they not learn anything from their previous failure?
I know they are following the German WWII blueprint but does that include a two front war, too?”

I believe that Israel leadership now figures they are at an existential crisis.
They are not winning in Gaza, about a million of their people have fled the country, most of the world is now against them, they understand that the US is getting weaker both economically and militarily as the BRICS grow stronger so they are running out of time to install a Greater Israel so now they are gambling on a two front war.
Hence they start a two front war to suck in the US military -that’s they only way they think they can prevail.

Your spelling and grammar are a crime, that’s for sure. People will take you more seriously if you stop writing like a seven year old.

I had thought you were wise, temperate and educated.
After the comment above, I see you are do not possess any of those traits.
Grow up.

That did it for me – you are now, undeniably, an asshole.
Go fuck yourself!

Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy detains a ship flying the Australian flag off the coast of Bushehr carrying 2 million liters of smuggled diesel.
🚩 @ResistanceTrench . Now Australia buys its crude blend from Malaysia Singapore even China not the Middle East. Wonder where that diesel was going?

Word editor… you mentioned flowers. Florist… I guess that’s a completely different occupation.

Also not a ‘troll’ but someone who comes here everday…
I find it sad that the ‘culture’ continues to erode…for ex:
My local library rouges out books that haven’t been checked out for awhile…and all that’s on the shelves are Romance novels, pop culture non fiction, and DVDs
Classics all in the trash…
We have been dumbed down…and some of you seem to ENCOURAGE that, you’re PROUD
I’m mostly trying to aspire to knowledge–trying to improve, get better, but obviously need to work on patience…but reading word salad posts disturbs me no end. If you are trying to communicate, do you think you are successful by ignoring spelling, grammer etc?
Thanks for the how to scroll instructions~

Can anyone point me towards ANY EVIDENCE that UNRWA employees may have taken part in the October 7 attacks?
I’ve searched.

————————————————————
Even if there would be evidence (there isn’t) – would it matter? Would it matter, that a handful of employees had cooperated with Hamas? Would that justify a general punishment of the Palestinian people?
Compare with Ukraine: Does it matter, that corruption (undisputedly) is floading the country? Does the West therefore stop sending weapons and money?
Double standard at its best.

Political Muslims practice Islam in the normal way and we share those rules mutually.
But Political Muslims have another hat in which they resolve their own sufferings at the hands of the enemies of Islam by bullying other Muslims, which is exactly what Israel , Nazi victim, does to Palestinians.
If I were to accept this bullying by victims of the West, why would I not condone Israel’s bullying. It’s the same human phenomenon. I can understand that perfectly.
Allah swt asks Muslims if they seeking respect from the West by working from them, in which case they must know that ALL respect is with/ from Allah. Jews were taught the same by their prophet Jesus AS to trust only in God, but they didn’t listen to Jesus AS who told them not to seek pitiful.power against Rome, I.e Zionism.
Political Muslims and Zionists both fully understand what God requires of them.
Which they both ignore,
I experienced resistance to my faith from the West I was born into, but I experience persecution from Political Muslims and that’s a shock to my system.
I can understand it, but it’s exactly the same behaviour as Zionism.
