The United States had implored Israel to think carefully and strategically when weighing a response to the hundreds of missiles and drones Iran launched at Israel overnight Saturday-Sunday.
Amid the limited reliable information emerging Friday about Israel’s reported retaliation, insistent official silence in Jerusalem, and the military censor’s requirement that any allegation and detailing of an Israeli retaliatory strike be attributed to overseas media reports, it appeared that the government had indeed taken that advice to heart.

Unfortunately, the U.S. has apparently given the green light for more civilian slaughter in Rafah to entice Israel into the Iran/Israel retaliation theater.
How will the Israeli hardliners react to Netanyahu either being bribed or cowed into pulling Israel’s punches against Iran?
“...pulling Israel’s punches...”
This is a good thing.
Many were fearing a out-of-control situation. Which this is not.
Israel did NO DAMAGE??? omg.
I expected massive damage. What did I miss? Do you have a link? Otherwise, please stop trying to scare us.
This is a very good thing. This is the first deescalation that I’ve seen in the last 30 months of sitting on the precipice of WWIII.
From your post - “... the U.S. has apparently given the green light for more civilian slaughter in Rafah ...”
How does one distinguish between a Hamas member and a civilian in Rafah?
Also I seem to recall civilian slaughter was already demonstrated by Hamas on 7 Oct.
One way to distinguish is that the infant, wearing a diaper, only possible terrorist act is dirtying that diaper.
Look at #1 .
“Look at #1”? I have no idea what that means. Again, where is your link documenting damage done to to Iran by the Israeli action last night?
With the support of the other nations of the world, the political leaders of Israel and the Islamic world will conduct a war in such a way that they mutually destroy each other. Then the nihilists and atheistic communists who’ve been restrained and held in check since WWII will be unleashed to provoke a final social cataclysm. - Albert Pike 1871
Planned and orchestrated.
GOOD GRIEF!!! Look at POST # 1 on this thread!!!
Are you telling me the speculated deal to allow further slaughter in Rafah is the damage the Israelis will be responsible for due to the action last night. I wrote post #1 and if that isn’t the point you’re trying to make, you’ve totally lost me.
“ civilian slaughter in Rafah”
Smh
The Hamas lovers/Jew haters are supporting Biden admin “de-escalation” policy. ROFLMAO.
I know. Sigh.
You are THICK......GLAD I LOST YOU!
