⚡Hezbollah's NASRALLAH (August 2023):

"The world today is controlled by a small group of billionaires, most of whom are in the United States of America... the rest have to live at their mercy and at the tables of these tyrannical oppressors who have no problem waging wars in order to operate arms factories and make billions of dollars in profit. They do not have a problem causing a pandemic to manufacture vaccines and make billions of dollars of profit."
I feel ashamed to admit that this man just spoke the simple truth. The west and its capitalist greed is the major problem that is killing this world today.

5 casualties from the anti-tank fire by Hezbollah that took place a short time ago in the Hanita area.
Israel must not allow or drag Hezbollah into this war with Hamas because the formal has extensive and precision guided Arsenal's that can reach anywhere in Israel, and even if the US would help, it doesn't change the fact that Israel would suffer more. They should just stick to the current approach of using stand-off strike platforms instead of conducting a ground operation into Gaza, which I suspect is a trap to get them bogged down in urban warfare where guerrilla tactics are often the bone of desert militant groups like Hamas. And it will just open all sorts of fronts against Israel.

It's not hard to spot the problem of this world.

The so-called terrorists (Muslim nations) of Turkey, Jordan, and Egypt are sending food items while the peace-loving, Democratic angels have been sending bombs, jets, and threats.
I'm ashamed to say that they so-called Christian nations have been the ones responsible for the problems of the world. Christian civilization has failed this world as a cosmic project.

Israel has been made too comfortable by EU and American support so I wouldn't be surprised if they end up attacking the convoy. Don't forget that they even attacked Syria yesterday in spite of everything. It is left for us to see if Egypt will send the aid.
You're correct. Israel feels a bit too much entitled.

Israel's greatest undoing will be bombing any humanitarian aid or launch a ground incursion into Gaza as it'll lead to mass death of Gazans which could force the Arab world to enta from all sides.. and boom! we have a bigger conflict. Hezbollah has been quiet and exercising restraint for some reasons.

The protest could lead to civil unrest. Hamas has called for worldwide protest today.

The main problem is that Iran has been peft to do the work alone. The Arab leaders don't mind the killing and maltreatment of their brothers so there's no way out for Palestine. This is why I maintain that it is better to die fighting a hopeless war than to continue being a slave.
Don't conclude yet. The Shiites vs Sunni divide is a real problem facing Islamic nations. But, when Israel is involved. These guys can easily but their sentiments to pursue a common goal.

I believe things will get very ugly if the IDF conducts a ground operation into Gaza. The signs are already visible with Jordan and Egypt calling bluff the Israeli threat to bomb any form of humanitarian cargoes sent to Gaza via the Egyptian side of the border, with Jordan and Egypt already arranging their packages. The US knows this is a real dicey scenario hence its stunch posturing recently and the plan to evacuate its citizens from there.

I sincerely hope Israel will not attack any humanitarian convoy sent to Gaza because that could potentially force the entire Islamic world, particularly those in the region to unite against it, including incurring the wrath of other nations. This thing you are seeing like child's play now can easily spiral out of control.

Paragliders again??

Not supporting the terrorist acts of Hamas, but I must give kudos to the planners and executors of this attack for their ingenuity. Paragliders have never been used in war campaigns until last week.
The most notable thing with these tools is that they're not detectable on radars, making them very difficult to track and destroy. They are your worst nightmare in a difficult terrain where a war of attrition is being waged.

You forget one important factor here. Oil prices will skyrocket like crazy. Imagine $200/barrel? Great Depression go mount us for here like camel 😂
Damn!

Oil producing nations like Saudi Arabia and Russia would just be salivating while the likes of the US and the EU that consumes oil like mad would be very mad because their current economic outlook would face more constraints should the war escalate and oil prices surge like it happened during the Iraqi invasion and the Syrian brouhaha.

If oil prices goes up in flames, it will force additional cost of living in America and the EU, which could potentially trigger massive protest against the governments in those places. It won't be good at all.

imagine Hezbollah launching attack on Isreal from the North, it would have been hard for the IDF.
Hezbollah has thousands of precision missiles that can reach anywhere in Israel. Israel's geography is problem for them against sophisticated enemy attack. The place is too small to confront wars on multiple fronts, and they know this. That's why the US is posturing very hard to dissuade the likes of Hezbollah from entering the war. But shite may hit the fan if the IDF conduct a ground operation into Gaza. I think they're setting a trap for the US and Israel. A US direct involvement will mean bad news for Hezbollah but bad news for the US as well as that would give its traditional allies in the region the excuse to finally dump the US and allign outrightly with China and Russia. And the worst is that it would make Iran look like a saint in the eyes of many of the Arab nations in the region. The US is really in a tight corner right now and I know that secret talks are underway to wrap up this crisis as quickly as possible. Not forgetting that elections are already approaching in the US.

You people just justify your hatred with stupid equivalencies. Imagine bringing a situation in Pakistan to justify Palestinian occupation.

Israel is the only reason why Palestinian Christians are not safe. Can you point to an incidence of Palestinian Christians being persecuted in Occupied Palestine by Palestinians? On the other hand, I can bring you hundreds of incidence of Palestinian Christian leaders who have been viciously attacked by Jews with bombs, guns and knives. Are we even to talk about the many farms of Palestinian Christians that have been torched by Jewish extremists.

If you want to hate people based on their religion, hate them with your chest and not come up with stupid reasons to justify your hatred. For example now, I hate Poland with all my chest and I want to see that country burn which is why I am hoping they are stupid enough to attack Russia. But I am not going to distort Polish history to justify my hatred.


Edit: Big mistake. I should have checked your profile before quoting you. I didn't know I was quoting a religious fanatic and extremist.
it's a shame each time I read the comments of some people here calling themselves Christians but behaving like senseless religious ediots. Christian means Christlike, that is, portraying the character of Christ. Where did Jesus Christ encouraged Christians to rejoice with people that oppress, kill innocent children playing football in the street, or people that are not armed, all in the name of religion?. Yet, this is what we see here everyday from some people who read their Bible upside down. The funny aspect of it all is that the average Jew sees the average Christian as a repulsive religious aberration. Christians are more safer in places like Iran than they are in Israel where they are spit upon and hated for believing in Jesus. Many of these folks you see here don't even know that in Jewish belief, they referred to blacks as "offsprings of the devil,"and hate the black man with a passion. Whereas, when Jesus said, "Ye are of your father the Devil," he wasn't talking to blacks, he was speaking to Jews. It's pathetic how some people these days easily watered down their own relevance to promote the supremacy of a race that doesn't like theirs.

⚡🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia ends "all negotiations" on normalisation with Israel.

Saudi Arabia has informed the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, that it is "ending all negotiations" on normalising relations with Israel, reports the Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post, echoed by the Saudi media outlet The Saudi Post, published in the 🇺🇸 United States.
I suspected that this is one of the underlying motive for the current war between Hamas and Israel. Hamas is just a tool that some elements are using to make sure that some nations in the Arab world don't have a cordial relation with Israel because it would be bad for business. Just like they did with refusing Russia to join NATO, so do they need a boogie in the Middle East vis-a-vis Israel and the nations around it.

Bro..they have fought war on multiple fronts with Arab nations combined before and not new to them...infact military equipments already moved to the nother border and also small exchange of fire with Hezbollah...!!

Israel jets have been flying over southern Lebanon and holding their tuff...If Hezbollah so wish to join, they can nobody is holding them back..!!
The Yum Kippur war of the 70s shouldn't been compared to what is at stakes today. This is the 21st century where state and non state actors now have access to high end technology that bridges the gap between friends and foes.

Just Hamas 3 days gripe and Israel is already asking the US for military aid to replenish their stock that have run out. Imagined if Hamas had SAMs that can take out IDF planes, or have their own aerier assets that can inflict pain...all of which Hezbollah has....ballistic and long range cruise missiles that can reach anywhere in Israel.

My brother, you should be grateful that Israel has the US as a backer otherwise, it would have ceased to exist by now.

Hezbollah gave Israel a bloody nose in 2006, and this same Hezbollah has since grown in numbers and capabilities because it's easier to get sophisticated tech today than before. No thanks to the black markets like Ukraine and co, vis-a-vis the relentless support from Iran that is highly advanced in weaponry.

While Israel can fight and possess the capability to fight, it lacks the manpower and territory to shield itself enough from the enemy's equally high-end attacks. It is this fear of Hezbollah and possible threat from other non-state actors that has made the US to send its carrier group to the Med now. If Hezbollah joins this fight right now, what happened in 2006 would look like child's play.

Mossadd:
don't you think Iran will join if US intervene directly?
Iran won't join directly because it would instantly result in a full blown regional war. Moreover, if the US would join, it would only be via aviation strike support for Israel and stand off long range missile strikes from their carrier group ships deep in the sea in the Med. Anything that makes US commit boots on ground would result in catastrophic for the Dems and the US economy. On this note, the Iranian support would also be limited to intelligence, armament and cash support for Hamas, subject to if Hezbollah enters the fight.

The situation is very fragile now.
