    Netanyahu has said it over and over again that he will not allow a Palestinian state, before and after October 7th. The Biden administration has said they disagree with it and that kind of talk isn't helpful.



    "... It collides with the idea of sovereignty. What can you do?"

    And then you can go back 8 years and see him espousing the same thing.

    Ok...but I'm asking specifically about the claim in the tweet you posted, that Eli Cohen made an official statement with the quote given.

    Yes, it's reported everywhere. I was responding to the claim that it would be reported everywhere (because it was odd or a big deal) when leaders higher than him have said the same or something similar.

    I have no problem with Israeli military going after the terrorists that invaded Israels and killed over 1000 innocent civilians and kidnapped even more but to practice genocide and kill innocent Palestinians as some eye for an eye retribution is barbaric. War used to be fought on open battlefields far from city centers...this blowing up hospitals ans schools shit has to stop and stop now. Where the fuck is the UN and does it have any fucking power anymore other than a sanction stamping office?

    The whole thing stops when Israel calls the UN a bunch of Hamas supporters and the U.S. deciding to not respect international law. It's not particularly close either. It's the U.S., Israel and a few island nations and on the other side is the rest of the world.

    Probe Documents Israeli Use of AI-Equipped 'Small Killer Drones' Against Civilians in Gaza

    "Israel is intentionally using them to target Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip," said the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor.

    https://www.commondreams.org/news/israel-drones-gaza

    A.I.'s use on a battlefield should be to ensure that the target is destroyed, without taking out civilians. A.I. should never ever be used to directly target civilians.

    It's laughable to see Israel claim they're doing everything they can to minimize civilian death when they've literally had a policy called "mowing the lawn" for decades and they killed a Hamas guy in an apartment building with total precision and no civilian death.

    Hezbollah are Shia and supported by Iran as is Hamas, however Hamas are Sunni. Lebanon is primarily Sunni form what I understand and Hezbollah are essentially a State within a State. So, could it be that Iran wants to disrupt any progression of the Abraham Accords and some of the Arab States would join TAA's if not for both Hamas and Hezbollah strong holds? There's an old dude like me and friend, at my Gym from Beirut and he believes that Lebanon would join The Abraham Accord if not for Hezbollah and Iran Shia influence.

    This is why we're losing leverage as a world leader. Why would anybody trust us?

    He's got a point... And we could have actually made both huge successes if we had the right motives.

    He's got a point but not a terribly strong one - we weren't trying to annex Iraq or Afghanistan.

    Not that that makes us any better necessarily, just different.

    Exploitation is exploitation. He killed a lot less.
