Israel will never win a world sympathy-fest because this present world will always be largely antisemitic. In the present circumstance, Israel should have kept strictly to the facts: it was attacked and retaliated against an Iranian proxy force inside Lebanon. The fact that Lebanon is HOSTING a militia like this that has fired thousands of rockets from Lebanon's territory leaves the Lebanese people accountable. The moment Israel cries victimhood it loses.

Stick to the facts...if it is actually the case that the general population would rather be lied to, then there is going to be a lot of difficulty in dealing with them. This sticking to the facts applies to everybody of course.

If one promotes a civilian population to human shield status, it is their responsibility to ensure its safety. Or be held responsible for its injuries.

The civilian population in Lebanon is being used by Iran in its ongoing crusade against Israel. Iran and its proxy Syria are the ones responsible for turning the Lebanese civilians into body counts. Further not all those so-called civilians are entitled to that classification.

These are just the big chunks that come easily to the eye when this pot is stirred.

so then, Iran makes things difficult enough in Iraq that we leave. Iran supports a government that can take control of Iraq's oil exports. These two then decide to cease production and export.

What do you think is going to happen to the price we pay for fuel then?
