As Israel continues to take military action in Lebanon,
James O'Brien considers whether anyone can actually stop Benjamin Netanyahu on
his course of 'utterly detached impunity'.
James stresses that Joe Biden is the only person who has
this power, but that the US president isn't likely to do so. Indeed, the US is
sending an advanced anti-missile system to Israel, according to the Pentagon,
as Joe
Biden’s administration stands by its strong support for one
of its key allies amid rising tensions with Iran.
This decision comes less than two weeks after Iran launched
a missile attack on Israel on October 1st in retaliation for the assassinations
of leaders from Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as an Iranian general.
'This is it... the Israeli army is going to carry on
butchering civilians', James emphasises.
'They've established Biden is the only one who can stop him
and he's not going to do it.'
