[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Israel has no interest in the Gaza strip or the West Bank as much as They want Lebanon [/quote]

I hope that is not true.  [/quote]

It is true. There was a time long ago where Lebanese liked Israelis more than Palestinians. They didn’t understand Palestinian objection to partition/Jewish immigration and  The religious  drama as they live with a split multifaith unity government and had many French and Armenian expats.

Israel doesn’t know how to be nice to people that are nice to them. Lebanon famously abstained from  the 1948, 1967 Arab Israeli war much to the criticism of their Arab League neighbors who mockingly called them Switzerland and blamed Lebanon for being weak.   Some people believed the war outcome could’ve been very very different for Israel if Lebanon invaded from the North.  They never fought each other till the 80s.

Israel owes lots of its earlier security before the U.S. came in to protect them to Lebanon but it seems like Israel never realized that. They want a regional war/gang up at this point. Do they think they can handle an attack from
The North, the South/Gaza, and the West  (WB  or Iran) all at the same time? Netanyahu is acting erratically and foolishly for political points [/quote]

This is literally all bullshit. [/quote]

Israel has not attacked Lebanon or the Lebanese people. Israel has undertaken precise action against the terrorists in Hezbollah who were actively plotting against Israel with massive support from Iran.

Unlike Gaza where Hamas enjoys broad support, the majority of people in Lebanon detest Hezbollah and the threat they’ve always presented. I mean, who wants to live under oppressive religious dictates? [/quote]

Do you know any Lebanese? I assure you that your view that this was a "precise action" is one that thethat the Lebanese are not celebrating. My friend's cousin just had a baby and installed solar in their home. She has thrown out the baby monitor and unplugged the solar panels (she reported there was a solar rooftop blown up, not sure if that is true or rumor but she believes it) so they are living without electricity. The regular every day non religious fanatic Lebanese are terrified.  [/quote]

I know Lebanese people here with family abroad.

ICYMI: that country has been a mess forever, with blackouts and runs on banks, etc. Plus: terrorism.

I’m sure folks over there are worried about technology…probably the same way Americans worried about planes after 9/11.

But the pagers that exploded were issued to Hezbollah. Ditto for the solar panels. Unless your friend is living with a terrorist, they should be fine…just like the people I know over there. [/quote]
