Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Lebanese people that they could face “destruction and suffering” like the Palestinians in Gaza if they don’t “free” the country from Hezbollah.

“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,” the Israeli prime minister said in a video address directed to the people of Lebanon.

"I say to you, the people of Lebanon: Free your country from Hezbollah so that this war can end."

Don't listen to this manipulative pro-Trump garbage. Trump loves Israel.

https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/harris-trump-iran-israel-gaza-positions/

As president, Trump controversially moved the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and ended decades of U.S. opposition to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. (The Biden administration reversed the settlement decision.)

Pro-Trump? Are you an idiot? Again, Trump loves money, not Netanyahu. Netanyahu is a free loopback for public to private money interests for a lot of politicians, but when you increasingly control that money at its source, it becomes less significant. Trump is going for a dictatorship in the US this time around, so Trump needs Putin, an Iran ally and leader at this sort of subterfuge, more than he needs Netanyahu.

With morons all around, from his supporters to the sort that calls observations like that "Pro-Trump", he's closer than ever to his goal. If you insist enough on it, I'm sure you will get a lot of pro-Netanyahu people, the sort already pushing troll factories onto social networks, to vote and promote Trump since they care more about Israel than the US. I'm just reminding them they are going to get screwed either way, if anything more so with Trump.

"Trump will end support for Israel's genocidal violence against Palestine" is essentially what you were saying.

If it were true, I'd grit my teeth and let this praise of Trump slide. But it is a lie in service to a fascist, relating to an issue that can swing votes.

... this praise of Trump ... But it is a lie in service to a fascist

Not sure how utterly brain damaged you have to be to extrapolate that from my statement, but here we are. Dictators are not the best of bedfellows, history has proven that time and time again.

Congratulations for standing up for the supposed people in swing states who would vote a fascist dictator because they might drop support for Israel in the future because he's a fan of money, not Israel ... but somehow ignore the part where I'm also stating that Biden is getting fed up as well, I guess? Sorry, I don't know how the crazed zealot mindset works, it certainly isn't on logic, which is what I oppose Trump on.
