Comment on Israel Withdrew Gaza Evacuation Order After Leaked Memo Shows US Urged Restraint

  If Egypt was a rival, why not help hamas or leave the Gaza border open? If Jordan was a rival, why help track Iranian missiles? If Syria was a rival, why have American military bases?

  Meanwhile, estimates put Hezbollah fighting strength at 60k. IDF has 300k enlisted.

  Israel almost certainly has nukes.

  The problem isn’t IDF propaganda, it’s your propaganda that cannot acknowledge any difficult truth, because of your pretty clear goal in aiding the Jihadist quest to reclaim all of Palestine.

    Israel is waging a 7 front war. Why do you think Biden sent aircraft carriers to defend against Hezbollah?

      Power projection, maintaining our reputation and a threat. We send aircraft carriers all over the place, there will always be one or two near any ally threatened with attack. It’s why we buy them.

      It’s really just Hezbollah at this point. Hamas barely has a couple brigades left, if that. Houthis are too far away to do much asides shoot at ships in the Red Sea. Not sure where the other fronts are. You think Egypt is going to invade or something? Jordan? Syria? Iran going to march through two countries to get there?

        I don’t even know what this means. Just make up words like " we have to look strong" and hope people buy the propaganda I guess.
