US officials expect significant escalation between Israel and Hezbollah
U.S. officials are anticipating that the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah will increase significantly in the coming days, potentially sparking an all-out war between the two sides.
American officials have long said that both Israel and Hezbollah want to avoid war. But tensions are at an all-time high following Israel’s consecutive attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon this week. The latest analysis inside the Biden administration is that it will be difficult for both sides to de-escalate, according to two senior U.S. officials familiar with the conversations.
It's going to be disastrous for Israel if they keep opening up new war fronts, especially if it coincides with beginning to lose funding and military tech from supportive countries. How do they honestly see this ending? I feel bad for the Israelis in Israel that don't support this government or its two criminal "wars." Inevitably they who also suffer for these decisions.
Netanyahu doesn’t think that far ahead. He hopes to push these various groups into war, then he will cry that he’s being attacked for no reason and get Congress to throw tens of billions of dollars at him, and maybe swing the election to Trump as well.
They're taking another page out of Hitler's notebook.
Unfortunately those Israelis are just a tiny fraction. The majority fully support the war efforts. This is what's happening after a concerted effort to dehumanize Palestinians.
I feel bad for the Israelis in Israel that don’t support this government or its two criminal “wars.”
I feel bad for anti-zionists throughout history. They've been horribly threatened, attacked, encaged, robbed, genocided, etc. by zionists. But I don't feel bad for them if the state that they oppose fails. They have nothing to gain from zionists continuing with more genocide, terrorism, war, etc.
Yeah that's a better way to put it. Thank you.
Israel is a rogue state.

We'll soon be sending Americans to die to preserve Netanyahu's political career.
The US has never sent soldiers to fight for Israel during any of Israel's previous wars, even when Israel's continued existence was in extreme danger. Therefore I think American boots on the ground are very unlikely. Even in the case that the US military intervenes directly, that intervention will probably be limited to long-range aerial attacks.
Yeah except we give them free access to our entire intelligence network, do free spotting with drones and airplanes, and manage their supply chain by sending two whole carrier strike groups to patrol the sea.
They also have a known base with US personnel there, and I wouldn't be surprised if they also have a covert base as well.
You're still probably right though because pretty much no surrounding country has any reason to challenge Israel. Egypt, Jordan, and KSA are all essentially US shills. Syria has zero interest, Lebanon barely has a functional military force. Israel would have no issue dealing with any of them with its own troops. That being said though, their goal is to have a forever war which means they won't actually try to do a full offensive. They'll just sit back and remotely bomb everyone like they are already doing in Gaza.
USA might not have openly sent soldiers to fight for zionism, but they have definitely sent soldiers to die for zionism.
While i think it to be unlikely for now, i dont think the reasoning "it was never done before" is a good one. The political landscape has shifted dramatically. We saw the same reasoning of people to hold on to Biden, because "sitting president always best for second term hurr durr" and now we saw the opposite effect once he stepped out of the race.
The last time Israel was truly at threat is about 50 years ago. Back then there were much less doomsday evangelicals on the right and much less non white people involved in American politics. Muslims weren't considered the great evil, like we have now with 20 years of post 9/11 hate propaganda. Also AIPAC was only 20 years old and much less entrenched in the US political system.
Did Politico somehow miss the recent zionist attacks on Lebanon?
Shit has already been "escalated" into previously unknown realms of terrorism.
