  5. Nothing good comes from that side of the world. Get along already people. When the aliens come everybody’s religious and political views are going down the drain and then how are you going to look?

  7. Hezbollah seems wreck by the air strike now from Israel. Hezbollah not only makes enemies with Israel but also with hacking groups in Lebanon as well

  13. It’s like Israel wants to start a war with everyone in the area? What they’d do to Lebanon would be the same they did to Gaza cuz they believe they won’t be held accountable

  31. 1“Shout for joy, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth in song and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the LORD. 2“Enlarge the site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes in deep. 3For you will spread out to the right and left; your descendants will dispossess the nations and inhabit the desolate cities.… Israel needs to control the Cedars…. God bless Israel.

  33. As always western media lying.He is not a Hezbollah commander but Israel is losing the war and trying to convince its populace and the world that is not the case…lol

  35. How can Israel sustain its unity after October 7? Since the October 7 attack, we are not expressing hatred toward each other because our pain is much greater. But we are not far from how things were before October 7. We could return to that previous state in a matter of days.

    It is also important to note that our divisiveness throughout the year weakened us and strengthened those who wished to attack us. A captured Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7 attacks stated how the ongoing protests and demonstrations in Israel encouraged Hamas during their preparations for the attack.

    When outside influences that pressure the formation of our unity move away, internal feelings of hatred resurface. We might believe that coming closer during tough times lets us develop while maintaining that closeness. However, this idea is incorrect.

    We need to undergo a reset and rebuild our unity from scratch, without external pressure dictating our actions but out of our own choice to live in a common connection to each other, with a spirit of unity, support, care, encouragement and closeness dwelling in our relations.

    When we are in a conflict of opinions, we need to equally respect those who we are against, acknowledging that they might also be right and have their own opinions, and that their opinions represent other people and citizens. Thus, we indeed should take heed to treat each other with more kindness.

    Unity means that we are ready to set aside our own opinions in order to unite with others.
