U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has met in Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has told him the U.S. stands with him in Israel's war against Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers.

S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is in Israel on Friday for meetings with senior government leaders and to see firsthand some of the U.S. weapons and security assistance that Washington rapidly delivered to Israel in the first week of its war with the militant Hamas group.

Austin is the second high-level U.S. official sent by President Joe Biden to visit Israel in two days. His quick trip from Brussels, where he was attending a NATO defense ministers meeting, came a day after Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the region. Blinken is continuing the frantic Mideast diplomacy, seeking to avert an expanded regional conflict.

        Okay so do you deny that Israel has been expanding its borders beyond what they had kicking people out of their houses and killing children for something as stupid as throwing rocks?
