A bunch of lunatics squabbling over scrubland without a thought for the safety of innocent children

Tell a lie often enough and it becomes israel.

[Rnankn]

So Israel preemptively attacked others, because of an expected response to Israel’s attack on others? Lol.

[richardsqueeze]

Phase one was an epic fail for hezbollah

[mykalbelle]

It's really puzzling how all the rockets fired at Israel always fell in "open" space, and "no casualties or injuries"😳..WOW!
'The God of Israel' is really working.

[ucapsalam]

Or should We treat those who believe and do good like those who make mischief throughout the land? Or should We treat the righteous like the wicked? Sad

[keepitreelcatfishing]

Interesting how Israel has so much intelligence and the ability to be precise. Yet, in Gaza they strike 90% civilian over Hamas targets.

In what world is a preemptive strike not considered a declaration of war?

[vacarmohvarleesarnor]

What happened in the military sites? Did the drones make it through?

[billygoat]

There is nothing like religious wars to bring out the worst in people.

Same old game but different play ground 🤣
New Players 🤔
I hope the new players don’t start crying 😭 and ask for food 🤣

[iyadkanaan]

preemptive strike??? really ? Evil is creative.

[mohammedseidu]

Why doesn't the world pressure both the Israelis and Palestinians to find a solution? Both sides aren't going anywhere so the constant bloodshed doesn't make sense to me. Both sides needs a solution ASAP. Too much innocents are dying.

[ngugi]

CNN social engineers won't show this lmao 😂🤣

There is entire culture in the Americas that know this fight.
