[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the WP: "“I am a moderate, but after this I am with Hezbollah,” shouted Ameen Kabbni, a 55-year-old man with graying hair whose apartment across the street was wrecked by the attack. “They are pushing me to be with the resistance,” he said, referring to the Iranian-backed armed groups that include Hamas in Gaza and the Houthis in Yemen, alongside Hezbollah."

While I agree with the PP that in conflict not one is ever 100% right and nobody is 100% wrong, it's so clear to me that the human aspect of this conflict is being brushed off by many who support Israel as collateral damage/terrorists' fault for hiding among civilians/secondary blasts due to munitions/etc etc). This human and personal cost is real and it does not increase the love for Israel, in fact, the opposite.

I really do not see how this wraps up well for anyone.  [/quote]

I don’t know where that guy is wrong with his sentiment. I bet many moderate Israelis became right wing after 10/7. It’s natural the 55 year old moderate in Lebanon who formerly disliked Hezbollah now supports them against Israel after the building explosions.

The unfortunate thing about violence and war is it radicalize  those in the middle who normally would denounce right wing groups.

It’s why Republicans and right wingers are dangerous in most societies  because war is their political asset. It worked for Bush and it is working for Hamas and for Hezbollah and Netanyahu. Win win for them but not for the people[/quote]
