You wrote - "His point is that beyond what's happening on the ground, he believes that Bibi's objective goes beyond eradicating Hamas and that there is a plan for a Greater Israel which he validates with the funding of Hamas - which nobody here has refuted and his speech to Congress (which I haven't seen).Perhaps put aside your sense of vilification and educate us all rather than playing the tiresome card,"Ok.
He believes also that Israel and the Jews are a threat to global stability and his comfort in Australian suburbia, as well as a load of other conspiracy theories and silly ideas he has convinced himself of.
"Educate us"
Israel gave up Sinai for peace. Recently Israel gave back land to Jordan as part of a "loan" type of deal. Israel left Gaza. Historically Israel has always been ready to give land for peace and it remains as such till today. This is fact - Just look. at all the deals that have been on the table that the Palestinians have rejected over the years. Propaganda to the insinuation that Israel wants to expand is just that with no consensus nor even mass of Israelis or Jews that desire it whatsoever. Sure there are some that are extremists and would like it, but the same can be said about the irrelevant, irrational or stupid desires of any extreme minority across every landscape of politics around the world - eg. There are Imams and Muslim clerics in Australia that want Oz as an extension of the Caliphate and every Ozzie to convert to Islam or me beheaded. The late President of Iran and his late Foreign Minister called for years for the total destruction of Israel (Some believe they mean it others like arseticket play it down and blame Israel for it.
Lebanon has been quiet for years and resolution 1701 of the UN called for... ".. the full cessation of hostilities, the deployment of Lebanese forces to Southern Lebanon, parallel withdrawal of Israeli forces behind the Blue Line, strengthening the UN force (UNIFIL) to facilitate the entry of Lebanese Forces in the region and the establishment of a demilitarised zone between the Blue Line and the Litani River."
Since this time with Iran's support and funding and management, and with the help via Syria, Hezbollah has crept to the entire length of the Israeli border over the years, with no Lebanese army in sight and UNIFIL do sweet FA to stop them. Since Oct 7 Hezbollah, entirely unprovoked has been firing rockets, missiles and drones daily into Israeli towns, causing evacuations, casualties and death to Israelis. Not to mention the attacks from the Houtis in Yemen, attacks from Syria and also Iraq.
To refer to these as arseticket does, as false flags, is deceptive, disingenuous and plain stupid.The list goes on.
