Benjamin Netanyahu's appeal came as Israel expanded its ground invasion against Hezbollah.

During a video address directed at the people of Lebanon, Netanyahu said: "You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza.

    Maybe he should focus on maintaining peace if he doesn’t want his own country to turn into bloody ashes

      I don’t think he wants peace at all. I think if there’s peace, he will lose his position as PM and lose its power with it.

      He would be fine with a full out war because he knows US will help him.

        He was about to lose power before 10/7…

        And has been refusing to allow elections because of the genocides he won’t stop committing ever since.

      And who’s going to do that as long as the US extends endless military and financial support? Bibi slaughtered tens of thousands of children with nothing more than a furrowed brow at the State Department. We send Israel so many bombs that it exceeds our military transport capacity and we’re chartering private carriers for part of the load. At every turn, the US has confirmed to Israel that it can act with impunity and retain our guarantee of support.

      Israel sat idly by allowing the enemy to get stronger… They’re not going to make that mistake again.

      Yeah Iran’s Axis of Resistance will destroy Israel any day now… any day now… soon… someday?

      Iran’s bullshit Axis of Resistance is like a scrawny guy that constantly gets his shit destroyed by someone that’s simply stronger faster and more skilled at fighting than he is . Everyone tells him to throw in the towel, but still just keeps on wanting to fight. And keeps getting his asses kicked.

      It would be laughable if it weren’t for the fact that these assholes embed themselves in the civilian population and get a lot of people killed besides themselves.

      The Axis of Resistance has been a complete failure for Iran. Hamas is hiding in their holes in the ground, Hezbollah had their entire leadership wiped out in two weeks. If the Houthis were smart (they aren’t) they’d stop their attacks on shipping and hope everyone forgets their part in all of this. Iran itself hasn’t shown much capability in attacking Israel with their rockets. The only thing they’ve achieved is to make people feel sorry for them.
