2 Kings 6:17
And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

@joekent16jan19 All these paid supporters of Israel aren't being real friends. A real friend would talk you out of doing something dangerous or illegal. It's only a matter of time before the GCC becomes as proficient with drones as Ukraine. Buffer zones won't stop drone swarms of in the future

@abdulslam2017 The American public is being fed a dangerous anti-Islamic us vs them narrative that erases the difference between allies and adversaries by our pro-Israel media. Many Americans don't understand Zionism or know their Baptist, Pentecostal and Evangelical Mega Church supports it

🇮🇱🇱🇧 IDF spokesperson:

“Hezbollah is fighting a defensive battle to prevent our forces from completing the destruction of these infrastructures.”

“Hezbollah is the one that violated the ceasefire. It is trying to defend its capabilities it built over the years.”

He legit said: we had to attack them because they violated the ceasefire by defending themselves. I can’t even.

Israel’s entire GDP is less than that of Atlanta and its metro area.

And Israel doesn’t have a single Waffle House.

A superpower does not kowtow to a tiny ass country with no good hashbrowns.

Israeli forces struck over 150 sites in Lebanon today, straining the US-Iran peace deal.

Iran continues to insist on a permanent ceasefire in Lebanon before talks can continue, though Iranian officials deny that Hormuz has been closed again.

[Reza Nasri @RezaNasri1]

The MoU between Tehran and Washington opened a sixty-day window for diplomacy, and its ceasefire extended to Lebanon. Israel's continued strikes on Lebanese territory are precisely designed to destroy it.

Under the U.N Charter, Israel's conduct constitutes both an act of aggression and a threat to international peace and security, and the lawful response is not rhetorical condemnation but enforcement. If the United States is serious about the diplomacy it has set in motion, it must convene an emergency session of the Security Council and press for a binding Chapter VII resolution compelling Israel to stop.

Anything less — protest in words while the legal instruments sit unused — will not be believed as a genuine effort to save the process, and will invite the inference that the attacks were tolerated, if not coordinated.

The US can convene an Security Council emergency session based on the following legal ground:

1) First, the conduct is unlawful on its face. Article 2(4) of the Charter prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. Israel's bombardment of Lebanon fits precisely within the General Assembly's authoritative definition of aggression in Resolution 3314 (1974), which names "bombardment by the armed forces of a State against the territory of another State" as a paradigm case. The presence of an agreed ceasefire forecloses any appeal to Article 51: self-defense presupposes an ongoing armed attack met by a necessary and proportionate response. A state that initiates force against a party observing a truce is the aggressor, and the aggressor cannot launder its own violation into a claim of self-defense.

2) Second, the Security Council is competent — and obligated — to treat this as a threat to the peace. Article 39 grants the Council wide discretion to determine the existence of a "threat to the peace," and its practice has long reached beyond active combat to conduct that destabilizes negotiated settlements. The deliberate sabotage of an internationally backed diplomatic process — one created precisely to prevent the recurrence of war — is itself such a threat. Once the Council makes that determination, Chapter VII opens: binding non-forcible measures under Article 41 and, if necessary, enforcement under Article 42.

The procedural avenues exist already: any member may request an emergency session, and the Secretary-General may bring the matter before the Council under Article 99. Under Article 24, the Council carries primary responsibility for international peace, and a permanent member holding the diplomatic framework together has both the standing and the means to demand action.

3) Third, the choice defines Washington's seriousness. Where a state possesses the legal tools to halt a violation that is wrecking its own initiative and declines to use them, the gap between its words and its deeds becomes the message. Good faith under the MOU is measured by action, not communiqués, and a response confined to protest will persuade no one that the strikes were unwelcome.

For President Trump, this is also an opening. Past administrations allowed pro-Israel advocacy to narrow American freedom of action in the region. Convening the Council and pressing a binding resolution would show that this administration sets policy by American interests alone — that it is prepared to break with precedent and to be judged by what it does rather than what it laments.

@RezaNasri1 If globally we accept the excuse that proximity to bad guys justifies destroying homes & seizing land, no one is safe. I don't know what people are doing blocks from my house in their house. If that standard applies to the world, what stops it from being used anywhere?

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

Anyone wondering why I'm criticizing Israel a lot today...

Your Defense Minister just said this:

"We have flattened the entire first line of villages in southern Lebanon, all the houses have been destroyed. The residents will never see them standing ever again. The 200,000 Lebanese residents who were in the 'security zone' are never returning again. Not one of them will ever return to southern Lebanon"

Your Minister of National Security said this:

"For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn."

And that's just today. You think this is normal?

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

Lebanon is already disrupting the diplomacy.

But the larger danger may come later, for Israel and so the talks

The nightmare scenario for Israel is not another October 7

It is the gradual closure of Israel itself

@ProfessorPape Drone warfare has changed the battlefield and it appears many US war hawks are stuck in 1980 strategy. It would be Vietnam 2.0 and our boots KIA would be filmed on FPV drones and the public would be outraged. It's only a matter of time until Ukraine's swarms strategy is copied

Vice President Vance has canceled his trip to Switzerland for Iran negotiations - Press pool

The cancellation follows news that the Iranian delegation would not be traveling for negotiations after Israel did not withdraw from Lebanon.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: Iran Suspends Entire 60-Day Negotiation Process With the U.S.

Iran has halted its entire 60-day negotiation framework with the United States after accusing Washington of violating the very first clause of the recently signed MOU.

According to Fars and Al-Mayadeen, Iranian officials argue Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon less than 24 hours after the agreement was electronically signed constituted a direct breach of U.S. obligations under the deal.

Iran’s delegation was reportedly preparing to depart for Switzerland for the first round of talks when Tehran abruptly canceled the trip. Iranian officials now say they will not fulfill their own commitments until they are fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the U.S. has adhered to the agreement’s first-clause requirements.

The first round of U.S.-Iran talks is now effectively off the table.
