The criminal Netanyahu struck Beirut’s suburb in an attempt to hide his criminal actions and stay in power.

He will fail.

I wonder what he was told in Washington, DC to encourage his criminal acts. What we know for sure that Netanyahu was kicked out of Mjdel Shamas in the occupied Golan Heights and was called a war criminal and not welcome there by the mourners.

So, Kamala Harris is condemning the “despicable acts by unpatriotic protestors and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric.” And she issued a statement today saying “Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric is abhorrent and we must not tolerate it in our nation.”
But, it is okay for the Vice President and presumptive presidential Democratic candidate to welcome a criminal to the White House. Netanyahu is charged by the International Court of Justice with War Crimes. He is a genocidal maniac that belongs in prison and not at the White House or welcomed at the U.S. Congress with standing ovations by the best politician that money can buy.
Kamala, you won’t earn our votes with this kind of rhetoric.
Bad beginning for Kamala.

He suggests that U.S. support for Israel, whether under Biden or Trump, will not alter the fundamental challenges facing Israel.

Many political analysts believe that Netanyahu is buying time in Gaza and Lebanon with the hope that Donald Trump returns to the White House.
