Huh?? Hezbollah is massively well armed.


If that's true, then Hezbollah has 10x the moral commitment to world peace than Israel because we have't seen jack shit in the way of a response to Israel's atrocities in Lebanon. They are so massively well armed, and yet they are demonstrating restraint that the rabid leadership in Israel clearly lacks.


What the hell are you talking about? They’re launching over 100 rockets a day.


It doesn’t matter if they’re launching 1,000 rockets a day. 100 hostages that are Israeli are sitting in Gaza praying their people and country still remember them.

Even a dog would know the Sinai and Egypt is the obvious answer to get to the tunnel network. Gaza has no ports or airports and is an open air prison. Any and all supplies must have from either Egypt or Israel.

Hey dummy, they are having zero effect. Not even the Iron Dome is activated as these so-called "100 rockets a day" (a lie, mind you - you couldn't provide documentary proof of that claim if your life depended on it) fall dead into unoccupied sand.

Nobody is buying your hysterics. Point to actual deaths (with reputable links) so we can at least try to create some sense of moral equivalency with the atrocities being committed by Israel, or STFU.

Egypt is the one who warned Israel 10/7 was perhaps going to happen. The Saudis say Sinwar and hostages are hiding in a tunnel inside Egypt and they left Gaza last December. For some reason, Israel keeps turning a blind eye to this intelligence about Hamas having secretly built tunnels inside Egypt.

It would make more sense if they are in the Sinai not Lebanon. Hamas can’t travel to Lebanon unless they go to Egypt first. All roads go there

The Arab Israeli town of Mazra’a received the first of its five allotted temporary bomb shelters on Thursday, more than nine months after Mayor Fuad Awad first requested them.

The shelter, with four more on their way, arrived two days after an Iron Dome interceptor missile malfunctioned during a Hezbollah drone attack and impacted the Route 4 highway just outside the entrance to the town in the Western Galilee.

The deaths are all Arab Israeli or Druze since they don’t have bomb shelters in Golan heights or any other Arab areas.

Although the act existed before that, the word did not.


Honestly this whole discussion about genocide is a trick to turn our attention away from the DEATH and DESTRUCTION Israel is inflicting.

Have any of you been to the Bekaa valley? I (a Jew!) travelled there in 2003. I took public transportation everywhere (they had a great mini bus system) . No one was anything but lovely to me. The land was beautiful. The antiquities plentiful. The food amazing.

My friend’s in laws live there. Why? They are not Hezbollah. But the Lebanese banking system froze assets in the banks a year or so ago and they no longer have access to a lifetime of saving for retirement. So they sold their apartment in Beirut and bought a cheaper place in the countryside. Their new town is getting bombed. They are well educated, non extremists.

Israel is lying when they say they are targeting Hezbollah only.

Israel is lying when they said they are attacking as defense.

Israel has been evacuating residents from the north since June. The Lebanese have been predicting war since.

The attack is premeditated murder.

Of course Hamas committed atrocities. Of course Hezbollah should not fire into Israel. But what Israel is doing to Gaza and Lebanon is horrible. And why we call that out is that our tax dollars are funding it.

Arabs are not the enemy.
Persians are not the enemy.
Muslims are not the enemy.
Extremist are the enemy and they reside in Israel too.


I, also Jewish, disagree.

I have close family in Jerusalem and Haifa.

The problem is on 10/8/23, Hezbollah started to fire rockets and missions into Israel. The day after Hamas attacked.

Israel did not bomb Gaza until 10/13 and attack on the ground until 10/27.


So why did Hezbollah shoot missiles into Israel on 10/8.

It’s because they are Terrorists. Hezbollah control all factions of the Lebanese government. Hezbollah is essentially Lebanon. You can’t separate them.


So after me enduring one year of misdialed from Hezbollah. Israel has every right to attack them them back and destroy Hezbollah.

The fact you are defending a terrorist group who has killed Americans and will cheer when many more die, is insane.


The bolded are NOT TRUE.

Israel started bombing Gaza on 10/7, shortly after the start of the Hamas attack.

By 10/8, hundreds of Palestinians had been killed in Gaza, including many, children and women. Entire multi-story residential buildings in Gaza had been destroyed by then.

Also, Hezbollah did not fire rockets into Israel on 10/8. They fired into the area known as Shebaa Farms.

Both Syria and Lebanon consider Shebaa farms as Lebanese territory. Shebaa Farms is NOT considered Israel by almost the entire world.

In response, Israel fired into Lebanon and wounded several people. Therefore, Israel fired into Lebanon BEFORE Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel. They fired into what almost the entire world view as occupied territory that is not a part of Israel.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-strikes-lebanon-after-hezbollah-hits-shebaa-farms-2023-10-08/


The situation with Shebaa Farms is more complicated than you’re making it out to be.

The U.N. certified the border. Lebanon and Syria claim its Lebanese territory, but the UN did certify the Israeli pullout.


UN certified the withdrawal of Israel from Lebanese territory in 2000. But the UN did not state that the Shebaa Farms area is a part of Israel, and they have never stated that it is Israel. The UN views the land as Syrian; Syria and Lebanon view it as Lebanon.

I don't think anybody besides Israel and the US, view it as Israel.

Any statement that Hezbollah fired into Israel on 10/8 or that Hezbollah fired into Israel before Israel fired into Lebanon is incorrect. Because Shebaa Farms is not Israel. It is only true from the Israeli perspective. But the UN and Lebanon have a different perspective on what land is considered Israel.



FFS, why are you even indulging this mouth breather with "Lebanon and Syria think it belongs to Syria" talk? It's NOT Israel. It's Syrian land. International law dictates that it's not Israel's land, nor will it ever be recognized.

F off already - I have no use for Hezbollah (or Hamas, or frankly Israel), but everyone with a pulse and a goddamned ounce of integrity knows that Hezbollah's goal is one thing: to fend off Israel's constant, ceaseless, endless provocations in the region. Israel is the main problem. You are part of that main problem.

The radical, extremist Zionists (REZ) here in the U.S. and in Israel (and wherever these evildoers dwell) are the absolute worst. Call it anti-semitism, call it whatever TF you want, nobody is buying your desperate attempts to characterize criticisms of the vile REZ as criticisms of all Jewish people, including the many here in the U.S. who are disgusted with the actions and policies of Israel ... you and the rest of the REZ are your own worst enemy because you are INCAPABLE of coexisting with others. You are despicable, and more than deserving of any and all misfortune that the universe can possibly shower you with. Be gone already.

Yawn. Yes tunnels, bombing hospitals, bombing schools, etc, etc. You all blew up 10 story apartments building today because you like killing civilians. I hear the Russian military is coming over to Israel for instructions in the finer points of destroying apartments buildings to maximizing civilian casualties.

Maybe these other countries will think twice before starting a new conflict next time? Doubt it, but we can dream.

No Israel will never think twice. It is too bad Israel never pays the price for its aggression and murder.

Typical response. Can’t dispute the facts and try to deflect. You all are such losers.

From the Washington Post…unfortunately the headline selectively reads the strike was on a Hezbollah leader but it’s clear with 4-6 buildings destroyed this is not selective targeting.

Since it began Monday with a ferocious aerial barrage, Israel’s military operation against Hezbollah has killed more than 700 people in Lebanon and set off a spiraling humanitarian crisis.

It was too early to tell the real toll of Friday’s strike, said Firass Abiad, Lebanon’s health minister. Four to six buildings were “completely demolished,” he added. “We expect fatalities to be high if there were people inside their apartments.

Hezbollah rockets are intercepted and there are alarms in every Israeli neighborhood except the Arab ones (wonder why?) to alert them of incoming fire and to seek underground shelter.

Israel has evacuated most of Haifa, the border city of Lebanon, to avoid casualty so Hezbollah has not been able to hurt a fly in Israel


1. Look at a map, Haifa is not on the border
2. You do know we can look up the info on rockets fired on Israel for months
3. Do you have Hebrew friends or relatives you can ask about what it’s like to be there? If not, read the news from Israel.
