      I mean, if a government keeps saying we need more guns in schools to prevent school shootings, are you surprised that they are also saying this?

    Hochstein was born in Israel, the child of American Jewish immigrants. A dual U.S.-Israel national, he served in the Israeli Defense Forces as a tank crewman prior to moving to Washington. He was a foreign policy adviser to Democratic Party members of the U.S. government House Foreign Affairs Committee from 1994 to January 2001

    Really makes you think

        How good was his advice to foreign affairs committee in the years 1994-2001, and how unbiased he is now

          Well from what I recall, that period was the time of unchallenged US domination

            is hochstein’s unparalleled advice the reason?

            More to the point, its extremely normal to have foreign military officers to be advisors, i’m sure they won’t carry any bias whatsoever in their advice. In fact usa should hire more saudi and foreign legion officers to get more brilliant opinions how to kill civilians to get resources

    An invasion of Lebanon risks direct Iranian involvement. Not sure if they’re trying to call a bluff or if they actually want that.

      They definitely want that because they can’t win in Gaza, and they think that dragging burgelanders in will turn things around.

      No it really doesn’t. Iran knows if they get directly involved the US will get directly involved. No one actually wants this.

    Heck of a bluff. I don’t see how the us government can expect to sell the threat of expanding an unpopular foreign war in an election year.

    Wait, is that 9/11s music I hear?

    Its getting very hard to have any sympathy towards the Palestinians. They continue to overvalue their position and act as if there is a better deal waiting around the corner if they hold out a bit longer. That “better deal” isn’t coming, only more destruction and less global attention as people get more and more bored of the war.
