Biden is a psychopathic imbecile, a shameful, doddering, stupid old whore for The Empire whose whole political life has been a filthy, sick disgrace.

Israel will never have peace and security because the Zionist bastards are criminals from their murderous beginning. The fact that billionaire Jews own American politics will be the wreck and downfall of this rotten, vicious empire. Let it be soon.

Israeli reservists aren't showing up for duty, and the vaunted IDF never penetrated more than three miles into Hezbollah-controlled territory in Lebanon. Plus, Hezbollah's missiles were starting to get through to Tel Aviv.

Israel didn't agree to a ceasefire because it was winning.

Yes, so very true! I wrote a longer comment but wasn't able to enter it, so see it as a general comment just now at the bottom of thread.

The utterly corrupt Washington elites need to be held to account for the genocide and carnage they cause in West Asia, Ukraine and many other places. The death cult colony otherwise known as "Israel" is not agreement capable as evidenced by the fact that they unleashed carnage on Beirut and Syria just before this 'cease fire' supposedly came into effect this morning. For the death cult, this is not about peace (the cult does not know the meaning of that word) but to re-arm, focus on Iran and prepare for a bigger war. Violence and a 'Greater Israel' (Lebensraum) is their mantra. Wish it were otherwise. There will be no peace in West Asia as long as the death cult exists.

Biden is the very worst potus in the history of the USA and will never be forgiven by genuine humans anywhere in the world.

I will be surprised if this so called "ceasefire" orchestrated by two Colonial power hungry, land hungry, resource hungry constitutional liars lasts more than a week. It was set up to fail by the US and Israel, and like in Gaza, the tiniest rock thrown by the tiniest Lebanese child will constitute the "act of aggression" Israel is waiting for (or will trigger with taunting)(and giving the Israelis 60 days should say it all). We've all seen too much of this playbook by now. I would like nothing better than to be wrong.

Some kid must have thrown a rock, for the Israelis are still bombing Lebanon.

Can’t solve homelessness, affordable housing, medical bankruptcies, child poverty, gun violence, choice, or the serial rapist’s threat to democracy, but hey a signature vision of a genocidal apartheid at peace and prosperous for billions of dollars was the election mandate the Swiss cheese for brains conceived.

Biden and his handlers will forever carry the guilt of this genocide, as will the 118th Congress, the Genocide Congress, that gave Netanyahu repeated standing ovations and shamed our country before the rest of the world. Israel must go the way of Nazi Germany, suffer utter destruction and then live in history as the symbol of evil.

Hey Aaron. You didn't mention how coincidentally, the moment the so called 'ceasefire' took effect, US proxies (and those of Turkey) launched attacks on Aleppo. Could this 'truce' between Israel and Hez, the breather Israel wants so as to deal a blow on the the bed-rock of resistance to Israel - that of Assad and his support networks into Lebanon and other resistance groups in the region? So much for the claim of changing the Middle East for the better.

The genocide the Zionist are committing in Gaza and now extending to the West Bank and Lebanon is one of the great crimes in history. The ceasefire, whatever else might be said about it, promises the besieged people of Lebanon some respite however temporary. As to the USG’s basically bipartisan support for these horrible crimes it is a perfect example of what economists call Public choice theory, and how deeply corrupted the politicians in the District of Criminals have become by the Donor Class.

They have been stopped and shot…

IDF broke ceasefire deal. Not Hezbollah.

Can’t help but think the ceasefire was right on the cusp of a least riding Israel of Netanyahu and perhaps more. This ceasefire gives Netanyahu time to wait for Trump and US military involvement.

This works for Netanyahu’s favor, not the Mideast as these Mideast people quit when they NEVER should have agree to this ceasefire because it doesn’t included Gaze, it includes nothing in long term.

Hassan Nasrallah Would never have EVER agreed to a ceasefire without the considering of the staving people of Gaza.

The Mideast will never win any freedom if they always quit when they are ahead. They spent all that life for nothing.

Netanyahu wanted this, Hezbollah wasn’t losing. Netanyahu was losing.

Yes, so very true, Ohio Barbarian (above)( I wasn't able to post this as a reply to his comment for some reason). And it seems Israel didn't agree to a ceasefire at all. Smoke and mirrors yet again. The IDF are a bunch of cowards unless they are surrounded on six sides inside an armored tank or pressing a button from a distance to launch a killer drone or shooting children from a roof. Much like Ukraine, Israel is desperate for manpower. Using $$$$ from the US/UK/Germany et al, they have hired tens of thousands of mercenaries from companies like Blackwater, hired killers who have no fear of putting boots on the ground, and paying them circa lbs 4,000 a week, so not hard to find in this growing militarized/monetized world or sometimes even among lost young men seeking asylum whose family ties and villages have been decimated in war zones. These mercenaries, not being Israeli citizens, also serve to deflect criminal accountability away from Israel. Recruitment has surged lately.

Didn’t Putin recently say Israel ought to lay off killing civilians in Beirut? What does this supposed ceasefire do to efforts to provoke Iran? My guess is the Israeli genocidal maniacs & their US sponsors might be having a bit of a think about Russia’s new game changing non-nuclear hypersonic missile & whether & how that might come into play if they continue up the ladder of escalation.

What France did to celebrate Hezbollah ceasefire.

Said Netanyahu had immunity given his country was not party to the statutes of the International Criminal Court that has sought his arrest.

Macron never saw an Arab baby he didn’t want dead. Lebanon and Hezbollah sold out to France because Arab people don’t value their own lives, so why should anyone else?

As we approach the end of the year and enjoy the wonderful holidays we'll be spended with family and friends and neighbors and passer byers. I can't help but hope we can find the humanity and kindness and respect to our world brothers and sisters no matter their color , religion, political beliefs and so many other things that tear up apart from each other. We are all in this together. Share the love.

PS Aaron: thank you and Katie your reporting this year has been my beacon. You shine light on thruths that must be heard and understood in context.
