It is clear that Israel is trying to start a war with Iran and Hezbollah and drag the United States into it.

Because once the forever war is finished, so is Netanyahu.

The USA is trying to start a war with Iran and Lebanon, and Israel is their instrument.

Israel does have a lot of leverage in the US and the current elections. Netanyahu practically dogwalked Biden into this. The danger is how incredibly WEAK the US government is now to do anything rational or decent. They've paralyzed themselves. Thanks Obama!
