Why don't you address the daily rockets Israel has endured since Oct.8th???

[GeraldoSelvia]

Excellent interview. Shame on the US, UK and the EU for supporting Israel

[gonduras]

This is terrible. Some of the terrorists survived.

Anti Israel NEWSTALK Host interviews Anti Israel Guest what's New

We do have clarity. The Prime Minister said 80, 000 citizens need to return to their homes. Hizbollah said no.
Hizbollah has also sent 8, 000 missiles toward Israel for the last 11 months. No state can take this pressure.
Your speaker failed to commend Israel for targeting 3, 000 Hizbollah fighters. Their beepers were given to them,
For the commanders.

[brandX]

Not a single word of the 8.500 rockets.
The guest is very badly informed, and very politically aligned with the terrorist.
And Pat is not really willing to correct him. Too busy looking at notes. It turned into a political monologue.

[SOCORROGM]

All out war. Thought that was last month

[andrekeefer]

Both sides have the right and duty to defend themselves.

[TongTong-rhbr]

If this was a 'countdown' then someone should be waving a white flag already..after 3 crippling days is there anyone on the Lebanese side that's the least bit interested in seeing what the actual war would look like?

[bdnr]

We stand with the Israel 🇮🇱 and the Israeli people.

[gavinfoley]

Bordera and nations matter. Ethnic conflict is inevitable with unwelcome settlements. The resolution of such conflicts takes generations and nfortnately often involves violent conflict. This is grave and we should take note.

[brandoncreek]

When it comes to A RETURN There is unity between Israel and Palestinians
In Truth they both fight now, for those who were forced out of their Homes.
Sadly they are both unitedin their Goals
