    We don't need another war. Israel best put a cork in it.

    That's more than likely. Just know I don't condone, take part in, or support physical or verbal abuse towards anyone. I draw the line there, regardless of what color their skin is, what religion they preach, or what political affiliation they belong to. For that reason I put guys on ignore who can't carry on an honest discussion. I don't find humor in bully mentality towards others. I find it childish and weak minded. I am not an extreme right or left supporter, and condemn all violence and terrorism. I'm a law abiding citizen, and a 20 year Navy veteran and Air Traffic Controller with a graduate degree. I'm not weak minded, and not naive enough to get sucked into a religious or political cult by someone taking advantage of people's mental weaknesses for their own personal gain.

    I believe in honesty, and morals. I was raised by parents I respected and trusted with my life. I believe in Democracy and a free and fair election. I've voted both Republican and Democrat, but don't march with activists, attend rallys, put up political flags in my yard, or wear political clothing. I consider myself a middle of the road American, who is not closed minded to change or incapable of holding an honest discussion. I think extremism is just that. I believe in a middle ground approach, that includes more of society's needs and wants, and not just one extreme way of doing things. If you treat me with respect, then I'll return that respect, regardless of our viewpoints.

    Don't forget Obama was a complete dumpster fire regarding foreign policy, as well. Shouldn't have expected any better from Biden.

    yes.

    also, the drones/missiles are several miles distant, so probably not a direct threat to al aqsa.

    but also

    People will tell isreal not to respond because the attack was so well defended. Not sure isreal should respond or not. The iron dome is to protect isrealis and not iran from repercusions.



    Very good sign that jordan and saudi arabia helped isreal. Hope that blossoms into good things

    Nothing is going to happen, this was a super well telegrammed revenge . Scary how the media blows everything out of proportion. Israel attacked an embassy and broke international laws and there was hardly any uproar. We should be preaching peace all the way around, though the military complex of the powerful in this world only care to make more money. They don't give a damn about people or the peace in the world.
