Yes. Israeli news does tell the truth 90% of the time. They call out Zionist lies daily but you don't read J Post, Haaretz or YNET do you? Al Jazeera is up there too.

It's US news that is full of shit.
I barely have time for Canadian news. Certainly not reading something not in English.

Whose truth? Israel's or muslim terrorists?
Israel's media that exposes Zionist terrorism as noted in the posts above.

Half of Israel hates their Zionist overlords that are devastating Israel's reputation and society with racist hatred and terrorism.

Like so...

Restore Democracy? But but but....


As of early 2026, Israel is experiencing severe internal, societal, and political fractures, with high-profile warnings from officials and analysts that the country is on the brink of civil war.

These tensions stem from intense opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu's government, deep divisions over judicial reforms, and conflicts regarding military service for the Haredi community.

Key Drivers of Internal Conflict

Netanyahu's Leadership:

Many Israelis view the Prime Minister's continued hold on power, despite controversies and ongoing legal issues, as a catalyst for national instability.

Societal Rifts:

An "irreconcilable rift" exists between different segments of society, with particular animosity between secular and ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) communities.

Warnings of Collapse:

Former officials, including former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Supreme Court President Aharon Barak, have warned of a potential civil war, with Aharon Barak stating in 2025 that Israel was "very close" to one.

Government Opposition:

Protesters have labeled the government a "fascist regime" and accused it of prioritizing political survival over national stability, particularly regarding the handling of security and hostages.Counterarguments and Context

Official Denial:

Despite the warnings, Netanyahu has asserted that there will be no civil war in Israel, describing the intense debates as a sign of a "living democracy" and calling for a decrease in tensions.

Alternative Viewpoints:

Some commentators have argued that while the country is experiencing a major constitutional crisis and extreme polarization, actual civil war is not imminent, noting that the IDF remains a unifying institution.

The Role of External ConflictTemporary Unity vs. Long-term Disunity:

While major external threats (such as those from Iran and its proxies) have historically forced internal divisions to be momentarily set aside, these tensions quickly re-emerge.

The "Eighth Decade" Curse:

Some critics argue that Israel is in a state of self-inflicted decline, driven by religious-secular conflicts and the struggle between democratic values and a hard-right agenda.

🚨BREAKING: U.S. Forces are currently BLASTING Iranian port cities after Iran fired missiles at U.S. warships! Reports coming in say the U.S. Navy was interdicting an Iranian oil tanker. The tanker captain refused orders, so an American military jet engaged and disabled the tanker. That's when Iran fired missiles at U.S. Navy ships.

According to Yahoo Finance, "Oil prices tumbled Thursday after reports emerged that US forces fired on an Iranian oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, escalating fears of a wider Middle East conflict while triggering sharp volatility across crypto markets.

Iranian state media claimed the US military attacked an Iranian-flagged tanker and that Iranian forces retaliated by launching missiles at US naval units operating near the Strait of Hormuz. US officials confirmed an encounter with an Iranian tanker but denied reports that American warships were struck."

Fox News coverage is saying that "A U.S. strike on Iran’s Qeshm Port in the Strait of Hormuz and Bandar Abbas were reported Thursday, with U.S. officials telling Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin that this was neither a restart of the war nor an end to the ceasefire.

The U.S. military also struck Iran's Bandar Kargan naval checkpoint in Minab, officials confirmed."

News Nation reports that "Iran’s state media Mehr says air defenses have been activated over Tehran."

Anyway, back to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. and Iran opened fire in the Strait of Hormuz, with each side claiming the other initiated the attack, of course. The renewal of hostilities further imperils the two countries' “ceasefire agreement,” which had already been badly damaged by repeated accusations that its terms are being breached, etc…

President Donald Trump, in a call with an ABC News reporter later Thursday, insisted that the ceasefire remains in effect, saying the strikes are "just a love tap” and the war is an “excursion” and so on and so forth.

In a subsequent Truth Social post, Trump claimed the U.S. "completely destroyed" the Iranians involved in the exchange, which he said included small boats and drones that "dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!"
1778201062601.jpeg
He reiterated that Iran will face further attacks (?) if they do not agree to a nuclear deal. That doesn’t make it sound like Iran started this but…"Just like we knocked them out again today, we'll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don't get their Deal signed, FAST!" Trump wrote.
1778202948489.jpeg
The flare-up in the strait, a top global oil-shipping route and a central chokepoint in the ongoing war, came as Iran was reportedly reviewing a U.S. proposal again that would end the war and tee up further nuclear talks.

1778202775458.jpegPhew! Almost sounded like the opposite of a ceasefire there, but apparently not. A ceasefire (or cease-fire) is a temporary stoppage of war or armed conflict (or an excursion?) in which opposing sides agree to suspend aggressive actions. It is a formal agreement, often brokered by a third party, designed to pause fighting—sometimes to allow for peace negotiations or humanitarian relief.

Just gets weirder. Donald Trump has said that the US is negotiating with Iran despite the two sides claiming to have fired at one another in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday.
1778205821006.jpeg
Speaking in Washington, Trump boasted that the US had "knocked the hell" out of Iran, and reiterated his earlier claim that US forces had sunk a number of Iranian boats.
1778205849925.jpeg
On peace talks, the US president said Tehran and Washington were still negotiating, and despite the mutual attacks in the strait, Trump has insisted the “ceasefire remains in effect” (?) but has threatened to strike "a lot more violently" if Iran does not sign a deal.
Did they fuck up US boats again setting laundry ablaze?
That would depend upon who you ask, I guess?

Iran’s military said United States forces targeted an Iranian oil tanker in coastal waters and a second vessel near the United Arab Emirates’ Alotta Fagina port, while US air strikes hit civilian areas in Bandar Khamir, Sirik and Qeshm Island in southern Iran. Iranian air defences were also active over western Tehran.
1778205981415.jpeg
South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reports that South Korean stocks opened lower on Friday as investors locked in gains from a previous surge while reacting to escalating military friction between Washington and Tehran.

Trump said “we’re negotiating with the Iranians” and reiterated the ceasefire was still in effect. “I believe they want the deal more than I do,” he told reporters in Washington DC. Asked about whether Iran had official responded to what a news report said was a US one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war, Trump said:
Well, it’s more than a one-page offer. It’s an offer that basically said they will not have nuclear weapons. They’re going to hand us the nuclear dust and many other things that we want. (???)

Any agreement between Washington and Tehran could also help lower tensions in Lebanon, where a separate truce was under renewed strain after an Israeli strike on southern Beirut killed a Hezbollah commander on Wednesday.

Anyway, a new clash between US and Iranian forces in the Gulf dented optimism for a negotiated peace Friday, despite President Donald Trump insisting a shaky truce was still holding while the sides attacked each other militarily while he claims they’re inching towards a deal.

Last Friday, a week ago today, the conflict hit the 60-day mark — a critical marker under the 1973 War Powers Act — and Democrats are using the milestone to fuel their efforts to force President Trump to end the military campaign against Tehran immediately, unless Congress explicitly approves it.

Trump and his Republican allies are pushing back, arguing that the conflict never rose to the level of a “war,” precluding the need for congressional consent. They also maintain that, even if it did meet that distinction, the current ceasefire had has effectively ended the shooting part of the war long before the 60-day threshold was met, so do the last couple of days count?

US president, Donald Trump, has issued a fresh ultimatum, telling Iran to accept a deal to end the war in the Middle East or face a new wave of US bombing “at a much higher level and intensity than it was before”. The social media announcement on Wednesday was the latest in a rapid series of dramatic and often contradictory changes in policy and came amid reports the US was claiming progress in stalled negotiations between Tehran and Washington.

Ebrahim Rezaei, the spokesperson of the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy commission, has poured cold water on the Axios report claiming the US and Iran were nearing a one-page memorandum to end the war, saying it was an “American wishlist [and] not a reality”. In a fiery statement on X, he said: “Americans will not gain in a lost war what they failed to achieve in face-to-face negotiations. Iran has its finger on the trigger and is ready; if they do not surrender and grant the necessary concessions, or if they or their lapdogs attempt any mischief, we will respond with a harsh and regrettable response.
Sooo….yeah, almost there…oil prices have continued to slide with the Brent crude global benchmark falling 9.2% to $99.79 a barrel - the first time it has been below $100 since 22 April. It follows reports that the US and Iran were closing in on an agreement to bring an end to the war?

Iran has also reportedly announced that the strait of Hormuz could reopen after Donald Trump paused his so-called “Project Freedom” to guide commercial ships out of the economically vital waterway.
Iran is imitating the Democrats in the U.S. by saying one thing & doing another. Trump needs to go in & bomb the hell out of the infrastructure & try to get rid of the IRGC as much as possible & then get the F out.

I also know he wants to protect the Iranian people but something has got to give & unless he can somehow get arms to the people so they can complete the fight. I'm sure the IDF could help with this.

In the continuing ceasefire, the Trump administration, sidestepping a widening battle in and around the Strait of Hormuz, said it was anticipating a reply from Tehran on Friday on its latest terms for ending the war.

“I hope it’s a serious offer,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a visit to Italy, even as U.S. warplanes struck and disabled two Iranian-flagged tankers that the U.S. Central Command said were attempting to violate its naval blockade by entering an Iranian port along the Gulf of Oman.
Rubio’s Iranian counterpart warned that President Donald Trump was stepping into “another quagmire.” In a social media post, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said, “Every time a diplomatic solution is on the table, the U.S. opts for a reckless military adventure. Is it a crude pressure tactic?”

The comments came as the United Arab Emirates said that its air defense systems had engaged two ballistic missiles and three drones launched from Iran. On Thursday, Iran charged that UAE warplanes had participated in a U.S. strike against Qeshm island in the strait and the coastal city of Bandar Abbas.

In the continuing ceasefire, the Iranian military claimed it had struck and damaged three U.S. destroyers Thursday with ballistic and cruise missiles and drones in retaliation for a U.S. attack on an Iranian merchant ship Wednesday, but Trump said the destroyers had exited the strait unscathed.

(U.S. military naval units operating ‌in the area of the Strait of Hormuz came under Iranian missile fire following an attack by the U.S. military on an Iranian oil tanker, Iranian ⁠state media, citing an unnamed military official, said on Thursday)

It all hinges on Israel ceasing its illegal war and occupation with Lebanon and stopping Israeli terrorism and illegal occupation in Palestine. Its time you started paying attention to what is really going on and accept reality.

We've been through this with Hezbollah having the right to fight Israeli occupation and even fire rockets into Israel. Hezbollah is legal, Israeli occupation of Lebanon is illegal.

The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, has said that Washington is expecting a response from Iran to its proposals for an interim deal to end the conflict in the Middle East, as Iran accused the US of breaching the increasingly fragile ceasefire announced last month…& that’s pretty much it at this point.
1778340852906.jpeg
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Friday evening, Trump said he expected a response from Iran soon. “I’m getting a letter supposedly tonight,” (which is now last night) he said. Asked whether Iran was intentionally slow-rolling the negotiation process, he replied: “We’ll find out soon enough.”
Iranian officials have frequently pushed back against U.S. claims of a deal, describing some proposals as an "American wish list". Iran has insisted it is still "reviewing" proposals and that "excessive" U.S. demands have blocked progress. Despite the talk of a deal, US and Iranian forces have continued to exchange fire in the Strait of Hormuz, and a shaky “ceasefire” has been violated multiple times by both sides.

That’s kind of a misleading statement. Hezbollah is a political party in Lebanon and that’s legal, but Hezbollah is also a non-state military something or another while the Lebanese government (of which Hezbollah is a part of) has stated that its military activities (like attacking Israel for example) are illegal and has banned the group's armed operations, demanding they cease all military actions and hand over their weapons to the state.
Get your fucking shit straight dolboyob.
In response to Palestinian attacks from Lebanon, Israel invaded the country in 1978 and again in 1982. After this it occupied southern Lebanon until 2000, while fighting a guerrilla conflict against Shia paramilitaries. After Israel's withdrawal, Hezbollah attacks sparked the 2006 Lebanon War. A new period of conflict began in 2023, leading to the 2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.
The Gaza war sparked a renewed Israel–Hezbollah conflict, beginning one day after the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel, where someone attacked someone else on October 8th from Lebanon, etc…

The conflict initially consisted of tit-for-tat airstrikes and shelling. The conflict escalated in September 2024, beginning with the Israeli explosion of Lebanese pagers and walkie talkies.
1778350739242.jpeg
Israel then began an aerial bombing campaign throughout Lebanon, killing at least 569 people on 23 September; the largest conflict-related loss of life in a single day in Lebanon since the Civil War, something like that.

Do you consider Azov Brigade to be a terrorist organization like the Kremlin claims or heros who lead way?

Did Kyiv politically separate themselves from Azov while quietly along with CIA arming and condoning them. Yes.

There wasn't much seperating Azov Brigade from Hezbollah. Now that it's Azov Battlion which is fully endorsed by Kyiv, NATO, US, Canada, Latin American and Asia Pacific allies has their Mandate changed?

Would it ruin your day if Beirut said fuck it and endorsed Hezbollah? It changes your indoctrinated idealism that this is a Muzzie Vs. Jew narrative making it a Christian & Muzzie Vs. Jew narrative.

That complicates things doesnt?

In response to Palestinian attacks from Lebanon, Israel invaded the country in 1978 and again in 1982. After this it occupied southern Lebanon until 2000, while fighting a guerrilla conflict against Shia paramilitaries.
Why did Palestinians attack from Lebanon? Is there a reason for Palestinians having to live in Lebanon instead of Palestine? Even from inside occupied Donbass and Lughansk fed through Ukrainian arms were smuggled in to attack Russian Jews.

Does it sound familiar? The whole invasion, occupation and annexation paramilitary thing jive being a theme of similarities?
After Israel's withdrawal, Hezbollah attacks sparked the 2006 Lebanon War. A new period of conflict began in 2023, leading to the 2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.
Azov Brigade (Nazi Ukrainian Terrorists) were a huge part of why Russia attacked Ukraine which kicked off the Donbass and Lughansk being seized and ethnically cleansed of Ukrainians just like Crimea before. Sounds familiar to a situation elsewhere in the world.
The Gaza war sparked a renewed Israel–Hezbollah conflict, beginning one day after the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel, where someone attacked someone else on October 8th from Lebanon, etc…
Azov lead plenty of raids in the seized properties and attacks and inside of Russia. CIA and Canadian JTF2 were deep into Azov. Remind me why Azov was formed and who carried out attacks.

1778417327130.jpegA Qatari natural gas tanker crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday for the first time since the start of the Iran war, heading for Pakistan, while Washington continued to ‌wait for Tehran's response to its latest proposals to begin peace talks.

After some 48 hours of relative calm following sporadic clashes last week that have shaken a month-old ceasefire, Kuwait detected several hostile drones in its airspace early on Sunday, authorities said.

But the QatarEnergy-operated carrier Al Kharaitiyat passed safely through the strait and was heading for Pakistan's Port Qasim, according to data from shipping analytics firm Kpler, the first Qatari vessel carrying liquefied natural gas to cross the strait since the U.S. and Israel started the war on Feb 28.
