Israel planned to launch a preemptive strike against Hezbollah on October 11 which was narrowly averted due to intervention from U.S. President Joe Biden, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
The assault plan came on the heels of Hamas’ invasion of southern Israel and, according to the report, was based on intelligence Israel had that Hezbollah attackers were preparing to cross the border as part of a multi-pronged attack. The U.S. reportedly deemed the information unreliable.
Israel is arrogant enough to think they can fight multiple wars at the same time. Biden and others have made the best effort to warn them against it, but if Netanyahu wants to risk the entire country just to grab more land then what can we do to stop him?
What can we do?idk have our president tell their leader that they’re dumb and not to do it. Basically exactly what occurred. Less people dying is good.
We can do MUCH more than that. Currently Biden is giving $8 Billion a year to Israel and is Congress for an additional $14 Billion, and is vetoing UN Security Council resolutions that criticize Israel and quietly blocking their investigations into war crimes. Biden could add conditions to the aid (he already blocked shipments of rifles because they were going to arm settlers who were committing attacks on unarmed Palestinians), he could block the additional aid or heavy weapons shipments or he could abstain and let the UN Security Council actually order Israel to stop violating the Geneva Conventions.
