Israelis push Netanyahu to resist U.S. pressure and keep fighting in Lebanon

As Trump fumes over fighting that has impeded his peace talks with Iran, some Israelis recall the 18-year occupation of Lebanon that began in 1982 and cite “complete déjà vu.”

The Washington Post

A quotation from Ben Franklin

One to destroy, is Murder by the Law,
   And Gibbets keep the lifted Hand in Awe.
To murder Thousands, takes a specious Name,
   War’s glorious Art, and gives immortal Fame.
O great Alliance! O divine Renown!
   With Death and Pestilence to share the Crown!
When Men extol a wild Destroyer’s Name,
   Earth’s Builder and Preserver they blaspheme.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
Poor Richard (1747 ed.)

A quotation from Henry Commager

Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.

Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

@GeofCox @RejoinEU Thanks for that. I made a mental note to research his board memberships yesterday but didn't get around to it.
