Netanyahu and Israel can pat themselves on the back for successfully sabotaging any possibility of de-escalation here by ramping up an expansionist war and ethnic cleansing in Lebanon.

Get ready for this war to grow on an international scale, international powers including specifically most European nations have failed spectacularly to deal honestly with this crisis while condescending the US and its involvement superficially and now we must all suffer the consequences.

Honestly this could have been a decade of relative peace, none of this was unavoidable, rather this entrance into a global war had to be carefully shepherded by bigoted figures like Netanyahu, Biden and Trump lest it all fell apart into peace and understanding.
