Countries Do Not Have Friends, Only Interests

From the Daily Mail: "Netanyahu secretly plotting to TORPEDO Trump's Iran peace deal in intelligence bombshell." From the lede:

    US spy agencies have warned Donald Trump that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is poised to torpedo his fragile peace deal with Iran to save his own political skin.

    Netanyahu, who faces a general election in the fall, is expected to escalate strikes on Iran's proxy terror group Hezbollah in Lebanon to shore up support at home, a fresh intelligence report warns.

    An official familiar with the report told the Washington Post that Israel's leadership is frustrated with Trump's 14-point plan and what it sees as a capitulation to Tehran. 

And then there is this bit from the article:

 'For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep,' Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's minister of national security, shockingly posted on Friday. 'All of Lebanon must burn!'  

It would be an understandable sentiment if it were directed at Hezbollah, but all of Lebanon? What did the Lebanese Christians do to Israel? Israel drove the Palestinians into southern Lebanon after the 1948 war and now want to destroy Lebanon for it?

  1. It’s amazing that Israel has been able to alienate so many Americans. They don’t just bite the hand that feeds them, but actually try to kill it.
