    “With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not up for bargaining. All of Lebanon must burn,” Ben-Gvir said in a statement.

    OK, let me get this straight… Lebanese citizens, many of whom live in a border city, were fighting against Israeli troops advancing on the city, IN LEBANON, and Ben-Gvir’s response to troops in a foreign nation being attacked by residents of that nation is to A) go scorched earth on the foreign city the defenders were defending, and B) threaten to flatten the entire nation?

    What does he do if Lebanon takes the same stance???
