Pentagon chief urges Israel to ‘scale back’ Beirut strikes: Civilian casualties ‘far too high’
”Stop being so mean to people we like better than you.”
[IsraelTimes] The United States would like to see Israel scale back some of its strikes in and around the Lebanese capital of Beirut, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says.

“The number of civilian casualties have been far too high,” he tells reporters at a G7 defense gathering in the Italian city of Naples. “We’d like to see Israel scale back on some of the strikes it’s taking, especially in and around Beirut, and we’d like to see things transition to some sort of negotiation that will allow civilians on both sides of the border to return to their homes.”

#5 Israel has been following the US advice for nearby 30 years and are still no closer to peace than at the start. Time to do what the US has forgotten Lloyd. Win a fucking war.
