Joking aside throwing the racist/nazi one into the mix is easiest  of cards to play.

Can Hezbollah overwhelm the Iron Dome?

The Israelis seem like bullies to me out there - stealing land from Palestinians in the West Bank etc

I know the rapist murdering Hamas aren't exactly angels either, but it just seems unfair the US has pumped up Israel with so much firepower they can ride roughshod over their Arab neighbours.

I can see the other side that the Jews have been targeted for centuries culminating in the holocaust, and this has caused them to want to be stronger than any possible adversary, hence the nukes and all manner of high tech ordnance.

Apparently they've done 35000 odd in Gaza, flick a few switches and much of Lebanon would be gone

 

UNITED NATIONS, June 21 (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday he is profoundly concerned by escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah and that U.N. peacekeepers are working to calm the situation and prevent miscalculation.

"One rash move - one miscalculation - could trigger a catastrophe that goes far beyond the border, and frankly, beyond imagination," he told reporters. "Let's be clear: The people of the region and the people of the world cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza."

Is this a five minute argument or the full half-hour?

My humble apologies.

 

I was reading the page numbers.

Diesel the donkey not only identifies as an elk, he's successfully transitioned.

 

Clearly the pet life wasn't for him and he answered the call of the wild, good luck to him.

There you go again? Jumping to conclusions, thinking the minority want to be different? Why do you not think that it might be possible that all the elk now identify as a donkey? And they’re just hoping and waiting to be excepted as donkeys so they can get on with the rest of their life’s🤔
