Quote:A new report suggests that the Biden administration is terrified at the prospect of Hezbollah’s rocket attack on Golan Heights Saturday evening escalating the current conflict in the region and triggering a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah

Axios reported that US officials are concerned that the attack, which killed 12 and wounded dozens more, many of whom were children, could lead to a war between the Jewish state and the Iran-backed terror group, and would exacerbate the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas if no ceasefire is obtained. This would only fuel the regional conflict and drag the United States further in.

“What happened today could be the trigger we have been worried about and tried to avoid for 10 months,” one American official told the outlet.

The IDF reported that 12 were killed and 30 were injured when a rocket struck a soccer field in the Druze village of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights.

IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that Hezbollah was responsible for the attack, which he called the “most serious targeting” of Israeli civilians since Oct. 7, when Hamas launched its invasion of the Jewish state.

“Our intelligence is clear. Hezbollah is responsible for the killing of innocent children,” said Hagari, per Al Jazeera. “We will prepare for a response against Hezbollah … we will act.”

Hezbollah has denied that it launched the rocket and claimed to have no connection to the incident. The Iran-backed terror group said in a statement that it “categorically denies the allegations reported by certain enemy media and various media platforms concerning the targeting of Majdal Shams.”

Axios reported that an IDF official said in a briefing that the rocket was equipped with an unusually large warhead, and was launched in retaliation for an Israeli strike earlier in the day.

According to Hagari, the rocket was an Iranian-made Falaq-1 with a 100-pound warhead. Hezbollah is reportedly the only entity in Lebanon equipped with such rockets. Additionally, a U.S. official told Axios that the U.S. had assessed the rocket was fired by Hezbollah.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already promised retaliation against Hezbollah, and expedited his return to his nation as he was in the United States at the time of the attack.

“Since I was informed of the disaster, I have been holding continuous security consultations and [began] to expedite our return to the country. I will convene the security cabinet immediately upon my arrival,” Netanyahu said in a statement posted on X. “I can say that the State of Israel will not remain silent. We will not let this go unanswered.”

The White House has condemned the attack, with one National Security Council spokesperson referring to it as “horrific,” per Axios.

“Our hearts go out to the families of those who lost loved ones today, and we are praying for a speedy recovery for those who have been injured,” the spokesperson said, per Axios. “Israel continues to face severe threats to its security, as the world saw today, and the United States will continue to support efforts to end these terrible attacks along the Blue Line, which must be a top priority.

“Our support for Israel’s security is iron-clad and unwavering against all Iranian backed terrorist groups, including Lebanese Hezbollah,” they added.

Show strong leadership by telling Bibi cut this sh*t out or we are cutting you off? Or "show strong leadership" by debasing yourself publicly and privately and making sure Bibi knows we'll jump however high he asks?

Israel was attacked, again. Pretty sure they don't give a crap what anyone in DC thinks. There is no such thing as a proportional response.

If Bibi and company didn't give a crap what anyone in DC thinks he wouldn't have been here addressing congress demanding that we have to give them more weapons with zero delays of any kind. If our weapons, money, and political cover matter then our opinions matter. If you don't need those things to do what you want to do then sure tell us all to mind our own damn business. I highly doubt there's any other country you'd be cool with sending unlimited money and weapons to with zero expectation to have input on what's done with it and zero ability to stop providing it if our wishes are ignored. Maybe I shouldn't make that assumption though, maybe you are a complete retard.

This.

We are long, long past the point where people like Biden or Blinken or Harris can influence this. And to be perfectly honest, people like Trump and Vance cannot influence it either. Israel on one side, Hamas, Hezbollah, and their allies on the other side, are in a war for survival and all of them will do what they have to do. I hope that America will stand with Israel, and I dare say most Israelis hope that, as well. But even if that doesn’t happen, Israel and its enemies all of them will do what they have to do.

Biden-Hairass administration cheering on the islams.

At the end of the day, Israel will do what it needs to do to protect itself.

lol@ the "retard" statement.

And you cheer the leader of a foreign government in front of our Congress calling US citizens terrorist sympathizers being funded by a hostile country with zero evidence provided. America First party though!!!

If ever there was a time the Dems were wishing that Hamas/Hezbollah/etc. would sit down and shut up, now is the time.

The Democrats’ basic problem here is that their coalition includes people who hate Israel (not to mention, most Jews) alongside people who love Israel (not to mention, most Jewish Americans). This contradiction has been carefully hidden from public view over the past ~30 years, with assistance from politically talented people (Clinton, Obama et al.) who want to ignore the issue, and a supportive pro-Dem. media to make sure it stays ignored. That strategy worked for a long time, until Oct. 7 of last year. I suppose it’s possible that someone like Clinton could talk his way around this issue, and make it seem like he agreed with everybody. That was his undeniable political gift. But someone like Kamala Harris just isn’t as good at it.

The terrorist lover is back at it again.

Hezbollah kills kids on a playground and all he can say is "Jews Bad".

The US is supposed to be an ally of Israel and they are dragging their feet in actually showing that support. That is why Bibi was here. Then, our country continues to allow these f-ing people to protest here and cause chaos in our streets.


In the mean time, we are falling all over ourselves to send money to Ukraine who is not an official ally to the US or member of the world peace alliance, and only share a common enemy in Russia.


The US should be sending everything they have to Israel to wipe Hamas off the map, then send all of the remaining supporters in our country (who want Death to America) back to that land to start all over again from scratch.
