Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon

I think Israel senses that the writing is on the wall. For decades they’ve preferred to gradually expand their borders, slowly antagonizing their neighbors and then using the resulting retaliations to justify land theft.
But this shtick is wearing thin. Slowly the tide is turning against Israel, even in the US. And Trump is likely to be the high water mark for US support of Israel. Trump’s given them a blank check, so they’re treating this as their last chance to grab as much land as possible while facing minimal international resistance. This is the fire sale of the US/Israel alliance.
Slowly the tide is turning against Israel, even in the US.
Is it? Public sentiment might be turning against them, but actual political support for them is only increasing, and not just from Trump; even ostensibly “left wing” governments like UK or Australia are still pulling out all the stops to ensure Israel gets what it wants and domestic criticism is crushed
USA can’t turn against Israel, it IS Israel, Israel is our baby. We made it with the UK, Israel is used for military and intel, more than anywhere else in the world. A forever hot spot

Climate change will not be kind to the region. Israel knows that it is in deep shit and is acting out. Ironically, its military aggression is only hastening this.
