They're wrongly called terrorists. They only want to live free on their own land in peace. Lebanon's been frequently targeted. So are other regional countries. It's done overtly and covertly. No one's safe with a regional neighbor like Israel.
Nor are Israelis with leaders like Netanyahu/Barak.
Netanyahu told the Jerusalem Post he's confident the world will come around to his view. He won't stop pushing it.
"I started speaking about the Iranian threat 16 years ago. If I was not a lone voice then, I was one of the few, and then others joined. And then I started speaking about the need for economic sanctions against Iran. I wasn't the only voice, but I was one of the few," he said.
Now he's alone talking about red lines, he added. He hopes others will also. Persuasion takes time, he added.
He's dead wrong about an Iranian nuclear weapons program. He lies calling Tehran an existential threat. He won't be quiet, he stresses. It's well known he oversteps and can't contain himself. He can't be trusted.
He's a serial liar. Each time his lips move prove it. He's toxic and dangerous. No one's safe anywhere with him in charge. Maybe Israelis will come to their senses and oust him. Doing so should be prioritized. Partial relief at least is just new leadership away.
Haaretz said "Israelis have the right to demand leaders who envision hope instead of beating the war drums" against nonexistent threats. They're entitled to peace, not perpetual confrontations and conflicts.
