There’s no reasonable end to this is there, it’s just going to keep spinning round until something truly horrific happens - beyond the usual nightmare that is this awful ethnic/religious mess of hatred and death

Israel has killed thousands of children, babies less than a year / day old and none of that outraged the western governments.
The only thing that will be a line crossed will be if they kill white people.
Which is why they're so quick to apologize whenever someone assaults a christian in Israel.
Brown and muslim lives aren't worth anything according to the western governments.

Yeah sure, convince me otherwise then.
The only times people have been brought to semi justice has been in those instances I just told yoi about.
There's a reason why the illegal settlements and the settlers aren't being targeted and put to a stop by the israeli government.

You should tell Israel first. They’ve been oppressing Arabs ever since they occupied their land almost a hundred years ago.

Yeah but there has to be a response, IDF soldiers die to suicide drones every day, that was swallowed by the government, but now with rockets flying to Haifa the government has to attack

Maybe they should go home?

I'm sure they'd love to, but giving Hezbollah free reign dooms the entire north of the country

If their social media presence is any indication, they certainly seem eager to maintain a murderous rampage across Lebanon. Suggesting this is some kind of reluctant struggle for them is comical. Hezbollah doesn't have free reign, but I know you know that.

Maybe the terrorists could stop attacking Israeli soil?

The terrorists are in Israeli soil, quite literally attacking everyone else

They can't. They have to defend Israeli civilians from the rocket and drone attacks being launched by Hezbollah.

Hmm. Were Israeli soldiers previously dying to suicide drones? I mean they've been available the last few years no?

u/threeme2189 2h ago
No, Israeli civilians were being bombed instead. Better?

u/Binderella123 2h ago
Nobody should be bombed I think. But I don't think invading another country is going to solve anything. If anything, it will make radicals even more radical and the children whose parents/family are being killed are going to want someone to pay. Netanyahu is only exacerbating the situation. Proper talks solve issues, not war.

Explain how people who believe they’ll be rewarded with a harem of virgins if they suicide bomb some Jews could be any further radicalized

u/Binderella123 2h ago
Explain how Ben Gvir's settler mates who steal Palestinian land could be any further radicalised? Two faces of the same coin.

If Lebanon wants a fight with Israel then so be it, but get Hezbollah and Iran out of there. This proxy war garbage puts Lebanon in the crossfire.

Summary:
Netanyahu ordered Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahiyeh), citing repeated Hezbollah violations of a ceasefire and attacks on Israeli cities.
Iran said Israeli attacks in Lebanon are one reason diplomacy aimed at ending the U.S.-Iran war has been delayed, and reiterated that a Lebanon ceasefire is essential to any agreement.
Israel had largely refrained from striking Dahiyeh since a U.S.-announced Lebanon ceasefire on April 16, carrying out only two previous attacks there.
The move follows intensified fighting in southern Lebanon, including Israeli forces capturing the 900-year-old Beaufort Castle and expanding ground operations.
Lebanese authorities say more than 3,370 people have been killed in Lebanon since March 2, when Hezbollah began attacks in support of Iran.
Israel says 24 soldiers and four civilians have been killed during the same period.
Israel has established a security zone in southern Lebanon and says it is destroying villages to protect northern Israel from Hezbollah militants.
The conflict has displaced more than 1 million people, according to Lebanese authorities.
Netanyahu said Israel aims to deepen and expand its control over areas previously under Hezbollah influence.
Hezbollah accused Israel of violating the ceasefire and said it conducted 21 operations on Sunday, including rocket attacks targeting Israeli military infrastructure near Nahariya.
France called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council because of the escalating violence.
The U.S. has been mediating talks between Israel and Lebanon despite Hezbollah’s objections.
A Lebanese source said Netanyahu’s announcement reflects a deterioration in the U.S.-led diplomatic process.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently spoke with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Netanyahu and proposed a plan for gradual de-escalation.
Under the U.S. proposal, Hezbollah would halt attacks on Israel and Israel would refrain from escalating attacks in Beirut.
President Aoun attempted to advance the proposal and secure agreement from both sides.
Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said he could guarantee Hezbollah’s immediate compliance with a ceasefire but questioned who would ensure Israel stopped its military actions.
