I’m not going to read this because if I do it will just make me want to fedpost

Hezbollah is the destabilizing entity, certainly not Isntreal.

Only Isntreal can defend itself, everyone else is the attacker. So glad we’re back to “pre-empitive war.”

I thought the statement would be very long but this is the whole thing…

Hassan Nasrallah was a terrorist with American blood on his hands. Across decades, his leadership of Hezbollah destabilized the Middle East and led to the killing of countless innocent people in Lebanon, Israel, Syria, and around the world. Today, Hezbollah’s victims have a measure of justice.

I have an unwavering commitment to the security of Israel. I will always support Israel’s right to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.

President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war. We have been working on a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border so that people can safely return home on both sides of that border. Diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region.

I know the message is pure politics and designed wholly for an American audience but it’s still makes me annoyed when American politicians start a statement of a foreign situation with a mention of American suffering.
