Seems like this is tracking into A full scale war.

Where is Biden/Harris on this? Maybe we should ask Jill for help.

Biden is fully in on committing ground troops. He does not want any Israeli to have to fight and pay for Israel. The US alone must bear the cost of all actions Israel takes. Remember the US is solely responsible for the holocaust and must baby proof the world for Israel.

While many here don’t seem to care about Palestinian lives….will you care about Lebanese or do you want to make multi generational enemies of that country too?

8,000 Hezbollah rockets launched into Israel.

You want Israel to do nothing.

How many artillery shells, air strikes, and electronic devices did the Israeli use in Lebanon. The Lebanese have a right to defend themselves.

First of all, Hezbollah doesn’t represent the Lebanese people.

Second, yes — Lebanon AND Israel can defend themselves.

That’s how it works in every goddamn country in the world.

Hezbollah does represent the Lebanese. Hezbollah was formed to fight the 22 year occupation of Lebanon by Israeli- ie Hezbollah only exist because of Israel’s previous invasion of Lebanon.

Israel is at war with Lebanon. The one neighboring country that never joined in the attacks against Israel by other Arab countries. Lebanese people hate Israel for what he’s done to them.

Let me get this straight:

Hezbollah is Lebanon.

Hezbollah has launched 8,000 rockets at Israel since Oct 8, 2023.

But Lebanon hasn’t attacked Israel.

That’s completely logically incoherent.

Israel attacked Lebanon first. Your willful ignorance of the facts show you are a Zionist extremist. Tell us how many air strikes, artillery shells, electronic device bombs, etc Israel has used against the Lebanese people? How many Lebanese have been killed since Oct 7? Israel is not “defending” itself. Israel is the aggressor as always.
I sincerely wish you and Israel much pain, suffering and failure in your invasion and occupational Lebanon.

If Hezbollah is justified in its actions then why do most Lebanese not support them?

I personally don’t wish anyone pain and suffering and it’s disgusting that you do.

Ok. So here’s what happened:

Hamas attacked on Oct 7.

Hezbollah launched rockets on Oct 8.

Can Israel defend itself?

you are very conveniently leaving out 100 years of history that predates 10/7

The course of action with the least risk of life lost is for Israel to declare a ceasefire in Gaza. Hezbollah has always said they iull stop firing into Israel when there is a ceasefire.

Ah yes. Because before 10/7, Hezbollah was a peace loving bunch of hippies.

No, they are trying through their actions to get Israel to recognize international law and leave occupied territory, too.

Do you have a problem with Israel being required to follow international law?

Wow. An apologist for Hezbollah. Never thought I’d see it.

Hezbollah is an Iran proxy group. They are doing Iran’s bidding and are pursuing Iran’s strategic goal, which is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

Hamas is the same thing.

I’m not supportive of any of these groups. I fully condemn them all. But I’m not binary (like you, apparently), so there are degrees of contempt across the board. And unlike you, I don’t give any of them a pass because of the sins of their neighbors, including Israel.

Now that that’s settled, since I dictate what I do and don’t support, not you … let’s get you on the record right now with what you stand for, and we can start with you answering the simple question below (2nd attempt).

Do you have a problem with Israel being required to follow international law?

That's a very weasel answer to anything. And very pathetic. Either/Or. Both sides. Whataboutism.

And you dictate your little whateveresim.

Not the previous poster. But...

Do you have a problem with either the Hezbollah or Hamas charter?

You should read it.

If I were Israeli, I would 100 percent be for the destruction of Hezbollah and Hamas.

No. But that’s not what Hezbollah’s goals are. Hezbollah’s goals are the same as its benefactor, Iran: the wholesale destruction of Israel.

Cool. You expect Israel to follow international law. Appreciate that.

Next question: Since Israel has unequivocally flouted and violated international law daily for at least the past 76+ years, why do you continue to support a nation that defiantly refuses to recognize international law?

I don’t support Bibi. I believe Israel has a right to exist.

Now since you’re asking me questions, I’ll ask you one: why are you miscasting Hezbollah as simply wanting Israel to abide by international law, when they’ve been abundantly clear that they want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth?

I didn’t miscast them as ONLY wanting Israel to follow international law. But Israeli’s failure to do so certainly doesn’t help anyone take Israeli’s preposterous “pre-emptive self-defense” and “existential threat” claims seriously.

I believe these groups use threatening language to project power in the midst of having none. It’s a game of optics, played by power brokers in these tribes who seek to bolster support from populations greatly maligned by the U.S. through our blind, unconditional support of Israel. Non-existent existential impact.

I don’t believe these groups, collectively, have 1% of the capacity to do any harm to Israel. Therefore, my attention rests on Israel’s reaction - the disproportionate reaction that results in massacres like 42,000+ dead in Gaza following 1,200 dead in Israel.

You cannot possibly believe that this current conflict will improve the level of safety and peace in Israel. And yet this frenzied response. It’s madness.

It’s both frightening and amusing how the far left has become sympathetic with long-recognized Islamic terror groups. I’m a democrat who is so alarmed by what I see in the liberal movement.
